Bering Sea Crab Fisherman's Tour vanuit Ketchikan
Beschrijving
EEN MUST DO TOUR IN ALASKA! Een van de hoogst gewaardeerde tours aangeboden langs Alaska's prachtige innerlijke passage. Ontdek hoe het leven is als commerciële visser van mannen die in de ruige Beringzee hebben gewerkt. Deze jongens zijn het echte werk! Aan boord van de Aleutian Ballad, een boot die te zien was in het populaire tv-programma Deadliest Catch van Discovery Channel, vaar je door de kalme, beschermde waterwegen van de Inside Passage met een Expert bemanning, terwijl je toekijkt hoe allerlei zeedieren aan dek worden gevangen en omhoog worden gesleept. De vangst wordt vervolgens ter observatie in een levend aquarium gehouden voordat deze weer in het wild wordt uitgezet. Je ziet koningskrab, boxkrab, octopus, rotsvissen, garnalen en nog veel meer, plus je ziet misschien andere lokale wilde dieren zoals zeeleeuwen en bruinvissen. Deze tour is ook wereldberoemd geworden voor een spectaculaire ontmoeting met adelaars in het wild.

Incredibly frustrating experience, we were so excited for this tour when booking but somehow ended up watching the boat sail away without us. We booked directly with the company and followed their arrival instructions for shuttle pickup at Ward Cove to the letter, arriving nearly an hour ahead of time for the ride to downtown. After searching everywhere for someone associated with our tour we jumped in line for the public shuttle and called the number provided to give notice of what was happening in hopes still making it there in time. No answer so we had to leave a voicemail instead. Once downtown we ran towards the pier until the point where we saw the ship already heading out of the harbor without us. A 2nd voicemail was left trying to get any response but still nothing. From other reviews this looks like a great tour but it seems minimal effort is given for their shuttles and communication. Buyer beware.

A thoroughly entertaining and informative excursion for the whole family! Comfortable setting, lots of hands-on experience, wonderful views of the eagles!!!
This was the highlight of my cruise! The crew, the ship, their stories, the history and the scenery were amazing! To get to see the bald eagles feeding right up to the edge of the ship was incredible. The way they showed us how they crab fish and getting to hold the crabs was crazy cool. I would do this tour over and over again in a heartbeat!
Great tour! A nice mix of personal stories and crabbing information. It is a crabbing tour but one of the highlights was seeing the eagles swoop in for herring the crew threw out for them.
Wonderful time. Informative, the staff is interesting & entertaining. They have great stories for their many years fishing & crabbibg
We were excited for this tour as fans of the Deadliest Catch and boy— it did not even come close to disappointment!! We learned a lot and everyone working on the ship was fantastic and friendly and so much fun. Highly recommend it!!
On a cruise down the coast. Ketichican was our last stop. This was BY FAR the best shore excursion of the trip. Dazzling bald eagle encounter—close up! Crab fishing explained in detail, and demonstrated. Best of all, the entire crew showed unmatched enthusiasm for their work and customer satisfaction. Andy and Dave shared life stories reflecting the difficulty and danger associated with the work. All in all, A+ for education, experience and entertainment.
What a great experience! The stories were incredible, as well as being able to hold some of the little sea creatures!
This is a "do not miss" tour on a real Bering Sea fishing boat - used in Season 2 of "Deadliest Catch". Tour given by real fisherman who are absolutely delightful - they love what they do and it shows! This is an interactive tour - you will handle crabs and other sea creatures (if you want). The eagles are plentiful and plenty of whale sightings as well. There are snacks, drinks and even crab legs available on the boat. The 3 hours fly by. Highly recommend while in Ketchikan!
If you come to Alaska, you have to do this excursion! You won’t be disappointed! They definitely know their craft! You get close and personal with some of the most interesting of gods creations!
