Wilderness Exploration Cruise & Crab Feast

Description

Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.

Explore Alaska's wilderness and experience the life of a crab fisherman on a narrated cruise through the heart of the Tongass National Forest followed by a crab feast. After a scenic drive to George Inlet Lodge, you'll board a comfortable sightseeing boat and cruise the George Inlet waterway. You'll pass the George Inlet Cannery and learn of "pirates" that plagued the area. View the Mahoney Glacial Cirque, with snow-capped mountains and 2,000-foot waterfalls, the site of an abandoned short seam gold mine. Head to a remote crab estuary and soak in the grandeur of the rainforest. Volunteers will assist in pulling crab pots and you'll learn of their anatomy and life cycle. Return to the lodge for a delicious all-you-can-eat Dungeness crab feast. After a lesson in the art of crab cracking, enjoy this succulent delicacy, hear tall tales and try your hand at a crab shell stacking competition.

Special Notes:
