Why do humpback whales spend their summers in the waters around Klawock?

They come to feed. The surrounding waters provide rich summer feeding grounds, where humpbacks follow food sources like plankton, herring, and salmon fry.

For visitors, that means a day on the water can come with some pretty incredible company.

Explore the waters around Klawock Island on a Whale & Wildlife Cruise and keep watch for humpbacks, sea otters, and other marine life along the way. klawockisland.com/wildlife-encounters/

Did you know Klawock is home to a piece of Alaska history?

In 1878, Alaska’s first salmon cannery began operating here, building on a fishing tradition that had already sustained Tlingit people for thousands of years.

Today, Klawock’s connection to salmon and the water remains strong. From fishing boats along the shore to the Klawock River and its returning salmon, visitors can still experience a community shaped by the sea.

During cultural gatherings and celebrations, Tlingit regalia brings artistry, identity, and tradition together. Robes, hats, jewelry, and other pieces may feature clan crests and designs that hold meaning connected to family and cultural identity.

Many pieces are created and shared across generations, carrying cultural knowledge and artistry forward while giving each generation a way to express its connection to honored heritage.
