How often do you get the opportunity to soar in a seaplane over spectacular scenery and be dropped off at the door of a remote wilderness lodge for a superb three-course meal? Spoil yourself thoroughly while on your Alaskan adventure with the Exclusive Flightseeing & Crab Feast. Enjoy the unspoiled wilderness at the historic George Inlet Lodge on the far, uninhabited side of Revillagigedo Island. Your DeHavilland Beaver seaplane will take you on a 22-minute journey over towering mountain peaks and deep glacial fjords, coming to rest right by the lodge. Your Ketchikan crab feast includes sweet and succulent Dungeness Crab in the inviting ambiance of a converted cannery bunkhouse that made an extraordinary five-year voyage by ocean barge to its current location on the shores of George Inlet Fjord. The Exclusive Flightseeing & Crab Feast combines luxury and adventure in one exciting package!

Please note: Tour may operate in reverse, with the drive to the lodge and the flight back to town.

For your Ketchikan crab feast adventure, you’ll be picked up from the cruise ship docks for the short ride to the floatplane base, where you’ll receive a brief video orientation before boarding your plane for the exhilarating take-off and flight to Revillagigedo Island. Your pilot will perform a gentle touchdown on the still waters of George Inlet Fjord and glide to a stop right at the dock of the Lodge. Then you’ll enjoy a relaxed and convivial meal of fresh romaine salad, succulent Dungeness crab, and rich, creamy cheesecake topped with fresh blueberries while taking in the breathtaking scenic beauty of your wilderness surroundings. This feast includes one alcoholic beverage, and other meal options are available for those with allergies. Following your meal, you’ll be treated to a narrated drive back to downtown Ketchikan. While you’re in Alaska, a Ketchikan crab feast is an unmissable experience, and this Exclusive Flightseeing & Crab Feast excursion is the ultimate way to enjoy it!

I am allergic to seafood. Is there an alternative menu?

Answer: Alternative menu items are available for guests allergic to seafood - chicken or pasta. Alternative menu items can be requested directly in the dining room. Each meal includes one complimentary alcoholic beverage (wine or beer). Additional alcoholic beverages can be purchased. Soft drinks, water, coffee and tea are unlimited.

Will we make it back to the ship in time? What if we don't?

Answer: We've never left anyone behind and only schedule tours that work well with your cruise ship's itinerary. We leave plenty of cushion so you can confidently book your trips independently.

Do the flights ever get canceled due to weather?

Answer: Yes, safety is a number one priority, so weather conditions are taken into account each day. In certain cases, the weather can lift and a slight delay will still allow the flight to continue. However, if a flight is canceled completely due to weather circumstances, you will always receive a full refund.

What if our ship is delayed or doesn't make it into port? Refund?

Answer: It's very rare that a ship is delayed into port, but in those cases, 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, we will of course refund the full cost of the tour.

What should we wear and bring?

Answer: We recommend hoping for sunshine but preparing for rain for all of our tours. Drizzles are common in this area, so we recommend wearing non-slip shoes, layered clothing, and a waterproof jacket.

Can you see wildlife from the plane?

Answer: If you have sharp eyes, it's certainly possible to see wildlife on the mountains below. The plane flies low enough to distinguish individual animals, but of course the pilots have to respect local wildlife so it's not an objective of this tour.

How big are the planes?

Answer: The two types of Dehavilland aircrafts seat 6 and 10 passengers and everyone gets a window seat on these flights. Floatplanes have become the most widely used and safest passenger transportation in Alaska.
