What you will visit:

Mountaintop Gondola
Elevate your Icy Strait Point adventure on the state-of-the-art Mountaintop Gondola. Soar high above the treetops with undisturbed Glacier Bay views as you reach 1,500 feet above the base of Icy Strait Point to the top of Hoonah Mountain. Disembark and enjoy access to scenic nature trails, magnificent views of the icefields and Glacier Bay National Park, and the world's largest ZipRider experience (additional tour you may purchase).

Transporter Gondola
A quick journey, 40 feet above the ground, traverses the area between Wilderness Landing and the Adventure Center. Step off and enjoy access to a host of shoreside amenities, including Icy Strait Point's boardwalks, dining and colorful retail establishments.

Tribal Dance Show
As a bonus, your ticket includes the Tribal Dance Show at the Heritage Center. Step into the beautiful Native Heritage Center, where Huna Tlingit culture comes to life. Here, a troupe of talented performers in colorful regalia will portray native stories through traditional song and dance.

What you will see along the way:
Located near Glacier Bay and the native settlement of Hoonah, Icy Strait Point is situated in an old-growth spruce and hemlock rainforest, home to an incredibly diverse wildlife population. Humpback whales, orcas, Dall's porpoises, seals and sea otters populate the local waterways, while brown bears and bald eagles call the land home. Views, views and more views stretch for miles as your gondola climbs to the top of Hoonah Mountain, so bring your camera to capture the vistas that extend over sparkling Glacier Bay. You can also enjoy a half-mile round-trip walk to view a beautiful mountain meadow and pond.

Special Notes:

There are hourly performances of the Tribal Dance Show, and you may choose to attend at your leisure. Your ticket allows unlimited rides on both the Mountaintop and Transporter gondolas throughout your time in port.
