Hoonah is a unique town in Southeast Alaska: it receives tourism from the cruise ships that travel up and down the Inside Passage, yet it has retained its beloved smalltown familiarity and authenticity. Hoonah, meaning “protection from the north wind,” is the largest Tlingit community with 900 permanent residents, most of whom are Tlingit. Due to the tourism industry in Hoonah, there are plenty of in-town activities to occupy your time. Get an adrenaline rush from riding the longest zipline in North America or learn about the history of fishing and canning in Alaska at the Hoonah Packing co., a decommissioned cannery. If the outdoors are more your speed, look no further than the blue green waters, verdant temperate rainforest, and expansive mountains surrounding Hoonah. Fishing, hunting, hiking, whale watching are right at your doorstep. From adventure-seekers to those who would rather stay inside on a rainy day, Hoonah has something for everyone.
