Hoonah ATV Tours - Hoonah, Alaska

Diego Montalvo

We highly recommend Hoonah ATV tours for anyone considering this! We looked at ATV excursions through our cruise line. What they offered looked like a follow the leader situation and so do the Jeep tours. I found a video of someone on that ATV excursion and it confirmed that it was in fact a boring follow the leader situation.

Hoonah ATV Tours asks you what you would like to see, and they set up a GPS to take you there. You drive yourself and you can get out and walk around any time you choose. You have a set time you need to be back but can explore as you wish. We ran low on time and did not complete the route due to driving slower than we probably should have but we enjoyed it none the less.

We ran late due to not realizing how far of a walk it would be from the cruise dock. They still honored our reservation and offered to come find us but by the time we got cell service we were close to their location. We appreciated that they offered though, and that they were extra helpful! We found out afterwards that there is a shuttle from the port to the town and back that the drop off is right next to Hoonah ATV Tours.

Honnah ATV Tours took their time explaining everything and ensure you are comfortable before setting off. They provide bear spray and emergency location devices which helped us feel safe! We were not prepared and needed to buy water before we set off. They gave us extra time to go to the store and buy water.

The ATV ran great, and we enjoyed the freedom and quietness of this excursion. We only came across one other ATV while out on our tour! This was very nice because after so many places being cramped with people from the cruise lines it was nice to be alone with nature. The areas to explore that they recommended were great and we saw plenty of wildlife out and about! We have dear in our hometown but coming across one on the tour was still a great sight too! We have another cruise planned in the future and will definitely do this excursion again, and possibly go longer if possible!

This tour was amazing! We last minute decided to hop on an ATV while our cruise was docked near Hoonah and it was a great decision. We stopped many places on our cruise but this was one of our favorites because of this tour! Seeing the mountains and wildlife up close was incredible, definitely recommend if you’re looking for something to do in the area.

Loved our ATV ride!! Pick up was right in the middle of town and easy to find, the GPS was loaded with directions and simple to follow and the drive and destination were stunning! We had the little island all to ourselves to explore and caught a glimpse of 2 bears across the water. Definitely worth it!!

This was the highlight of our trip. Joe provided an excellent service. The ATV was super new and clean. We picked up our ATV and Joe provided us with a MAP and GPS with lost of suggestions of where to go depending of what we wanted to see… and off we went to explore and discover. We saw brown bears, Alaskan marten bear, otters and dears crossing in front of us…. Tons of birds. The most amazing part of this tour is that we were not stuck in a tour with other ppl; we rented the ATV as you are renting a car, and you are free to go wherever you want and stay as much a you want within your rental period and rules. I strongly suggest renting for 2.5 hours.

Thank you so much Joe for your services.

We didn’t have any plans when we arrived in Hoonah so we were excited to find the opportunity to rent a SxS. Luckily they had an open slot. While we didn’t see any bears we did see several bald eagles and got beautiful views of the water at low tide. The team is super nice, explained everything, no issues. If you’re going to spend money in Hoonah, do it exploring away from the crowds at the dock.

Joe was amazing! We enjoyed this tour so much. He went out of his way to get us on an ATV. We loved exploring and never wanted to leave. This was an amazing experience. I love supporting local vs the cruise ship excursions. We will forever talk about this experience. Thank you Joe!

Joe was wonderful, he explained everything thoroughly, made sure we knew where to go, and the best way to stay safe out on the forest service roads. The ATV was new and in really great shape. Super comfortable for 4 people. Would highly recommend this as an activity for anyone who wants to get out of city limits.

A Must do shore excursion if visiting hoonah alaska or icy straight point! Joe and his crew did a wonderful job at providing my wife and i an unforgettable experience!
