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.

This was truly a unique experience. Todd and his wife live here. He drove us to their place where they brought crabs from the live trap back to the house after which he gave us a tour of the area with so much information about living on the edge of the grid. When we finished the tour, we went back to the house where his wife had prepared the Dungeness crabs and homemade Thai fried rice followed by a cheesecake with a homemade huckleberry jam. I highly recommend this tour as unique from most tours.
This was a wonderful experience. Hoonah is a quaint little village and you will get the flavor of Alaskan life here and how people live. The host has a wonderful little restaurant where they crab. They demonstrate the crabbing process (we were there during dungeness season). Theresa is a fabulous cook and prepares a meal to die for. I really enjoyed this intimate excursion and the hosts were fabulous!
Todd and his wife are very accommodating. Very nice tour of the town and his crabbing operation. Food was very good! Don't forget the special sauce (I liked mine extra spicy). One caution, all you can eat equals one whole crab.
We had the best experience with this excursion. The couple were super nice and very informative. The experience with being able to hold the live crab. The food was magnificent. We would love to come back and stay in their Airbnb. Thank you guys.
This tour is a small group. The food and experience is awesome. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend
This was an amazing peek into life in Hoonah! The hosts were so friendly, informative and generous. The fresh crab and honeysuckle dessert were delicious. Well worth the money and such a great experience. Highly recommend!
Absolutely amazing morning with Tom and Theresa. Tom picked us up at Icy Strait and we headed to Hoonah. Stopped at the beach to pick out our freshly caught crabs and then headed out for a tour of the town and Theresa’s garden. Learned about how people survive and thrive in this isolated community. Headed back to the Hoonah Beach House for a delicious lunch of fresh Dungeness crab and fried rice. Delicious homemade dessert! Just an incredible experience!
This was a great activity with many surprises. Todd was a great host, showing how to catch a cook crabs, how he lived and interacted with other locals Do yourself a favour and book this quirky tour. You will love it!
This was a true gem. The tour is capped at just 14 people, which keeps the whole experience intimate and relaxed. Watching our crab pulled live from the water before we sat down to eat it was something we won't forget. The owners open up their space and share their story in a way that feels genuinely welcoming, not touristy. The crab was phenomenal, and the Thai Tea, Rice and Sauce completely surprised us. Our hostess was wonderful. Absolutely worth every minute.
Delicious food and excellent company. Learned a lot about how life goes on this remote island. Bring your curiosity and appetite, nothing like fresh steam crab and a strong glass of Thai Iced Tea!
