Catch crabs at George Inlet Lodge in Ketchikan, Alaska
  View Alaskan wildlife & wilderness while you capture Dungeness crab!

This tour begins with a beautiful drive along the coast in which you will pass an active cannery, Coast Guard station, Totem Pole Park, old sawmill, and numerous beautiful waterfalls.

Upon arrival to the George Inlet Lodge, a cannery house, built out over the fjord on stilts, you will be outfitted to jump onboard spacious, comfortable catamarans for transport to our crab fishing grounds.

Throughout your 7 mile waterway adventure, our catamaran captain will entertain you with lively fish tales and valuable information about Southeast Alaska. You will see a 1940's cannery, an abandon gold mine, the scenic Mahoney Glacial Cirque, snow capped mountains, and 2,000 foot waterfalls... all before your final destination!

A beautiful hidden inlet is the remote location of the Dungeness Crab Fishery and home to all types of wildlife. Here, we will demonstrate the pulling of two crab pots. The crabs recovered will be poured onto a table and sorted for a look at the differences in male to female, and of course, legal size. While none of the crab will be kept, each guest will have the opportunity to see them up close and learn about their anatomy and life cycle.

The return trip to the lodge takes about fifteen minutes. Once there, you will be greeted with a cup of hot cider and seated to a linen draped table for a fabulous crab dinner including white wine and blueberry cheesecake!
