Excursion Overview

Catch and eat delicious crab for a truly Alaskan adventure

This exciting tour will bring you right to the heart of Southeast Alaska and the lush Tongass National Forest. Feel what it is like to be a local Alaskan! You can volunteer to pull up the crab pots from the beautiful waters surrounding Revillagigedo Island, which overflow with crab, salmon, seals, and whales. Breathe in the fresh air and incredible scenery as your crew shares the history and exciting stories of the ocean.

Of course, you get to enjoy your hard work with a delicious side of fresh salad. Cheesecake with blueberry topping will round out this locally-inspired meal. This is truly an exciting gathering that has been called a "Rowdy good time!" You will be led through a panorama of local tall tales then demonstrate the easiest way to crack your crabs!

The remote rustic, yet elegant old cannery lodge where you will have your meal just adds to your dining experience. The lodge's cozy charm truly creates an enjoyable, relaxing experience that will be the highlight of your Alaskan journey.

The boating part of the tour was a little disappointing because I thought I would be able to put down or pull up crab cages but only one kid was offered this and there was only one crab cage. Adults just watched and could hold a crab if desired. However, the delicious crab feast more than made up for the lack of catching crab. The servers were very generous and we had a great time. I would recommend this tour.

So glad we did this activity. The ride on the water was great. We got up close views of eagles and learned about crabbing and some history of the local area and cannery. The meal was fabulous. It really was all you can eat and amazing. Our driver that picked us up from town gave a great ride and even was able to stop and take us to a little waterfall along the way and picked local roadside berries for my kids. So happy we did this excursion

We had a wonderful time on our Wilderness Exploration boat and Crab Feast. It was fun to see eagles swoop down and eat the fish they threw out, and it was very interesting to pull up and hold the crabs. The Feast was amazing!!! Thank you.

This was such a blast! Got to see Bald Eagles up close, pull Dungeness crab pots and all you can eat crab! Our guide and captain were very knowledgeable about the wildlife, environment and history of the area. The staff at The George Inlet Lodge were awesome as well! Would do it again in a heartbeat!
