Discover the Alaskan Way and a hearty crab feast!

Form a deeper connection with the local area and its people through an intimate experience in Icy Strait Point. The first stop is the dock to take a peek at a commercial fishing boat, with the morning catch. This is your chance to ask any questions about Alaska's commercial fishing and crabbing industry and to see how the gear works. Pick out some fresh crab for the feast later and ice them down at the restaurant at the top of the dock.

Next, set off on a guided stroll through the garden. Visit your guide's favorite foraging spots amongst the berry patches and forest. Learn how your local guides survive & thrive in this challenging environment. There is even a chance of seeing coastal brown bears. Return to the village to see the sights and visit the carving shed. Watch local Tlingit master wood carvers craft totem poles from Alaska yellow cedar. After that it's back to Hoonah Beach House for an Alaskan Dungeness crab feast on a private deck overlooking the water!
