The left side provides an excellent view of the Hoonah townsite, the historic cannery at Icy Strait Point, and the deep blue waters of Port Frederick.
The right side offers a superior panoramic view of the towering Chilkat Range mountains and the dramatic expanse of the Lynn Canal, providing the most iconic Alaskan wilderness vistas on this short hop.
While both sides offer incredible Alaskan wilderness, the right side provides a superior view of the whale-rich waters of Icy Strait and a more dramatic approach into the Hoonah harbor and Chichagof Island.
