Visite du village du détroit de glace et festin de crabe
Description
Rejoignez-nous pour une visite d'un village d'Alaska et un festin de crabe ! Notre visite détenue et gérée localement est votre chance de nouer une connexion plus profonde. Nous vous apprendrons comment attraper, cuisiner et casser notre délicieux crabe dormeur local d'Alaska. Nous vous ferons également visiter le village et notre lieu de recherche de nourriture préféré pour vous montrer un peu comment nous survivons et prospérons dans ce paradis isolé.
Options de l'excursion
Itinéraire
Le premier arrêt est le quai du village de Hoonah. C'est ici que nous gardons notre bateau commercial de pêche au crabe et nos prises de crabe du matin. Choisissez votre crabe frais pendant que nous répondons à toutes vos questions sur la pêche commerciale et la pêche au crabe en Alaska. Nous pêchons le saumon rose pour l'utiliser comme appât pour notre crabe commercial. Tout le matériel est à bord afin que nous puissions vous faire une démonstration de son fonctionnement directement au quai.
Le prochain arrêt est la terrasse au-dessus de l'eau à Hoonah Beach House. C'est juste un arrêt rapide pour mettre notre crabe sur la glace pour plus tard, et peut-être utiliser les toilettes si nécessaire. Nous reviendrons à cet endroit plus tard pour le festin du crabe !
Le prochain arrêt est une propriété privée boisée juste à l’extérieur du village. Nous voyons occasionnellement des ours bruns côtiers ici, alors préparez votre appareil photo. C'est ici que Srisa et moi cueillons les baies sauvages d'Alaska que vous dégusterez dans votre dessert lors du festin de crabe. Nous avons également un petit jardin et un verger. Nous aimons parler de ce qu’il faut pour survivre et prospérer dans notre région éloignée.
Ensuite, retour au village pour retrouver nos amis à l'atelier de sculpture. C'est votre chance d'observer les maîtres sculpteurs Tlingit locaux fabriquer des totems à partir de rondins de cèdre jaune.
Le dernier arrêt est la terrasse du Hoonah Beach House pour déguster du crabe frais ! Le crabe que nous avons glacé plus tôt est maintenant prêt à être cuit et préparé. Détendez-vous et regardez nous vous montrer la façon locale de cuisiner le crabe. La plupart des gens n’ont jamais essayé le crabe fraîchement sorti du bateau. En règle générale, les cabanes à crabe servent du crabe précuit, congelé et réchauffé. Même ceux qui annoncent « frais ». Pas nous! C'est la vraie affaire et vous ne croirez pas la différence. La plupart des gens nous disent que c’est le meilleur crabe qu’ils aient jamais mangé.

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!
