Experience a “day in the life” of a local Alaskan fisherman, checking out crab pots, trolling the open waters, and learning from your naturalist guides along the way.

You can even assist in the crabbing portion of the tour, as you experience a “day in the life” of a local Alaskan!

When it’s time for your crab feast at the George Inlet Lodge, you will be greeted by the friendly staff. Be sure to prepare yourselves for a “Rowdy good time.” With endless Dungeness crab legs, baby red potatoes, fresh salad, and Blueberry cheesecake, you are sure to leave with a full belly and a smile on your face.

How long is this excursion, and is transportation included?

Answer: The total duration of this activity is about 4 hours from start to finish. The meeting location will be just next to the Ketchikan Visitor's Bureau, which is conveniently situated very close to the cruise docks. Of course, you'll receive detailed meeting instructions and planning information in a confirmation email upon booking.

What should I wear and how should I prepare for this tour?

Answer: No special equipment is necessary for you to bring. Dress warmly and in layers as the temperature can fluctuate throughout the day. Life jackets will provided for the ocean portion of the trip, and we recommend bringing gloves and an extra pair of socks for your comfort.

What if I have food allergies or dietary restrictions?

Answer: Please let us know in advance so we can have a special meal prepared for you. Grilled Chicken & Vegetarian options are available in lieu of the Dungeness Crab.

What if it rains? Do the trips get canceled?

Answer: 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 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 refund you.
