Description

“A day in the life” of Ketchikan’s fishermen and a delicious meal of fresh catches to top it off. If that sounds like a tour for you, then experience true Alaska on one of the tastiest tours Ketchikan offers. The Wilderness Exploration and Crab Feast takes you on an exploration around the waters of Ketchikan, hauling up crab with expert fishermen, followed by an Alaskan crab feast at the historic and scenic George Inlet Lodge!

Please Note: This tour may run with either the crab feast or boat portion first.

Begin your Wilderness Exploration and Crab Feast with a beautiful drive out to the historic George Inlet Lodge on the Southern tip of Revillagigedo Island. This will be the site of both your crab feast and your crab boat tour! Aboard your heated vessel, you will explore the shorelines of the Tongass National Forest, with stops along the way to view wildlife. This could include anything from eagles to marine life! And you’ll even have the opportunity to help pull up the crab pots full of delicious Dungeness crab, like a real Alaskan fisherman! The Wilderness Exploration and Crab Feast is one of the best tours Ketchikan offers for a hands-on crab fishing experience.

Once back at George Inlet Lodge, the Wilderness Exploration and Crab Feast offers you the opportunity to enjoy the would-be fruits of your labor! All-you-can-eat Dungeness crab, fresh salad, blueberry cheesecake, and a complimentary beverage await. (And don’t worry, we have options for non-seafood eaters too). The friendly staff at the lodge will walk you through all you need to know about your crab legs, with demonstrations and entertainment throughout. And don’t forget to take a little time to wander the boardwalk and gift shop at the end to take in the spectacular views, you are on one of the most scenic tours Ketchikan has after all!

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I wear?
No special equipment is necessary for you to bring. Dress warmly and in layers as the temperature can fluctuate throughout the day. We recommended bringing a rain jacket, hat, and gloves for your comfort.
What if it rains? Do the trips get canceled?
Ketchikan is in the heart of a temperate rainforest, and we would never do anything if we stopped for the rain. Please do not let the possibility of rain deter you from booking. Southeast Alaska is at its most beautiful on misty rainy days.
What if I have food allergies or dietary restrictions?
Alternative menu items are available for guests allergic to seafood or with dietary restrictions and can be requested directly in the dining room. These menu items include cajun, grilled, or lemon peppered chicken for non-seafood eaters. Penne pasta or cheese ravioli with pesto sauce is available for vegetarians.
What if our cruise ship's schedule is canceled or delayed?
We will try our best to work with you to reschedule the tour to a later time. If that is not a possibility or your ship doesn't make it into port, then you will receive a refund, less any non-refundable fees.
