Icy Strait Village Tour og Krabbefest
Beskrivelse
Slut dig til os på en landsbytur i Alaska og krabbefest! Vores lokalt ejede og drevne tur er din chance for at danne en dybere forbindelse. Vi vil lære dig, hvordan vi fanger, tilbereder og knækker vores lækre lokale Alaskan dungeness-krabbe. Vi vil også tage dig rundt i landsbyen og til vores foretrukne fourageringssted for at vise dig lidt om, hvordan vi overlever og trives i dette afsidesliggende paradis.
Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Det første stop er kajen i landsbyen Hoonah. Det er her, vi opbevarer vores kommercielle krabbebåd og vores morgenfangst af krabbe. Vælg din friske krabbe, mens vi besvarer alle spørgsmål, du måtte have om kommercielt fiskeri og krabbefiskeri i Alaska. Vi fisker efter lyserød laks til brug som lokkemad til vores kommercielle krabbefiskeri. Alt udstyr er ombord, så vi kan give dig en demonstration af, hvordan det fungerer lige ved kajen.
Næste stop er dækket over vandet ved Hoonah Beach House. Dette er blot et hurtigt stop for at lægge vores krabbe på is til senere, og måske bruge toilettet, hvis det er nødvendigt. Vi vender tilbage til dette sted senere til krabbefesten!
Næste stop er en skovklædt privat ejendom lige uden for landsbyen. Vi ser af og til kystbrune bjørne her, så hav dit kamera klar. Det er her, Srisa og jeg plukker de vilde Alaska-bær, du vil nyde i din dessert ved krabbefesten. Vi har også en lille have og frugthave. Vi nyder at tale om, hvad der skal til for at overleve og trives på vores afsides beliggenhed.
Derefter er det tilbage til landsbyen for at se vores venner ved udskæringsskuret. Dette er din chance for at se lokale Tlingit-udskærere lave totempæle af gule cedertræer.
Det sidste stop er dækket ved Hoonah Beach House for at få noget frisk krabber! Den krabbe, vi isede ned tidligere, er nu klar til at blive tilberedt og klargjort. Slap af og se, mens vi viser dig den lokale måde at tilberede krabber på. De fleste mennesker har aldrig prøvet krabber frisk fra båden. Typisk serverer krabbehytter forkogte, frosne og genopvarmede krabber. Selv dem, der annoncerer "frisk". Ikke os! Dette er den ægte vare, og du vil ikke tro forskellen. De fleste fortæller os, at det er den bedste krabbe, de nogensinde har haft.

Small, personal absolute fantastic Todd and Teresa were fantastic. Great experience and Todd has a lot of knowledge about the area.. Meal was delicious.. Highly recommend.
This tour was nice. We watched him bring up the crab pots full of crabs, and his wife cooked us a very lovely meal. The negative part about this tour was that we were in a van and we had no microphone, so he really just spoke to whoever was sitting beside him. I would have liked to have heard a little history about the area we travelled in and maybe have him take us to some different spots around town and include everyone in his conversation. We had a about 30 minutes after our meal, where we just sat outside and talked to the fellow travellers. The weather was a bit chilly, and I felt the tour was a little bit longer than needed. Having said all this, I still think the tour was nice, and if you like crab, you'll get to eat a crab that's fresh out of the water.
Todd and his wife were excellent hosts. Their story is interesting. They have worked hard to establish a business to give tourists an excellent experience. It was wealth worth it and delicious. Would do it again.
Amazing tour and incredibly friendly host family. They went out of their way to make us feel welcome at their restaurant and then they cooked some amazing food (Dungeness crabs and homemade Thai rice) which was excellent!! Todd describe what it was like to live in this small town. Highly recommend this tour.
What an awesome Tour learned so much about life on the icy Straight and living there. The Tour operator and his wife were so nice and the food was delicious. Cheesecake w berries the Best
We enjoyed getting to know Sirisa & Todd, and how they live in Icy Strait! It's beautiful there! We loved watching the process of catching, cooking, and eating the fresh crab! The rice and dessert was a bonus. We weren't sure what to expect, but we really enjoyed it!
This, by far, was one of our favorite excursions. The couple who run this live there and are just wonderful and so informative. It was like just being their guest! Learning about how locals live there, experiencing catching crabs and then being chauffeured around in their lovely Van was such a great learning experience and then the fabulous fresh crab dinner with dessert was wonderful. The views were incredible! Tracy’s Crab Shack, that everybody seems to rave about was just an overpriced restaurant serving frozen crab. For about the same price you get this fabulous tour AND a delicious fresh crab dinner. Doesn’t get any better than that! We happened to be tipped off at a most unlikely meeting at an outlet mall in Vero Beach with a couple who had just been there. Great recommendation!
Wonderful tour with our hosts Todd and his lovely wife Srisa. Found the tour easily a short gondola ride and walk from the Celebrity Solstice port. For the first time I tasted Dungeness crab caught the same day— delicious! Todd shared the best way to steam and prep easy to eat crab. Srisa prepared a lovely Thai rice.
The tour and meal were outstanding! It’s a real family business in the town (away from the cruise ships). We got a sense of what it’s like to live here, met a local totem pole carver, and had the freshest dungeness crab (delicious). Thanks for a perfect morning!
Lovely morning that Todd and cerise shared with us. We loved hearing about their Alaska life and enjoyed our lunch immensely. Thank you!
