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.

Please note: This tour may run in reverse.

Amazing Scenery, the guides really knew their history on the area, very knowledgeable about crabs/fishing, the crab feast was AMAZING! Everyone was very friendly and very helpful. Loved that we were able to see bald eagles up close and personal as our guide tossed fish and the bald eagles flew right over our heads and swooped down to the water to grab the fish. Great experience!

Such a fun excursion!!! The boat ride was awesome we got to see crabs, seals and eagles. Food was wonderful and staff was great. Our friends booked this directly through Disney and we saved money and had the same experience direct. Would 10000% use Alaska Shore Excursions again versus through a cruise line.

Out on a boat, taking in the sites, eagles swooping down for a fish from the boat hand-WOW. Learning about the crab traps and how it all works. Getting to hold the crabs as instructed. All this was great, then we had plenty of time to get all you can eat crab. I have never eaten so much. The staff that helped us was wonderful.
