Junte-se a nós para um passeio pela vila do Alasca e um banquete de caranguejo! Nosso tour de propriedade e operação local é sua chance de estabelecer uma conexão mais profunda.

Também levaremos você ao redor da vila e ao nosso local de coleta favorito para mostrar um pouco de como sobrevivemos e prosperamos neste paraíso remoto.
Opções de passeio
Itinerário
A primeira parada é no cais da vila de Hoonah. É aqui que guardamos nosso barco comercial de captura de caranguejo e nossa captura matinal de caranguejo. Escolha seu caranguejo fresco enquanto respondemos a quaisquer perguntas que você possa ter sobre a pesca comercial e a captura de caranguejo no Alasca. Nós pescamos salmão rosa para usar como isca em nossa pesca comercial de caranguejo. Todo o equipamento está a bordo para que possamos fazer uma demonstração de como funciona no cais.
A próxima parada é no deck sobre a água da Hoonah Beach House. Esta é apenas uma parada rápida para colocar nosso caranguejo no gelo para mais tarde, e talvez usar o banheiro se necessário. Voltaremos a este local mais tarde para a festa do caranguejo!
A próxima parada é em alguma propriedade privada florestada nos arredores da vila. Ocasionalmente vemos ursos marrons costeiros aqui, então prepare sua câmera. É aqui que Srisa e eu colhemos as frutas silvestres do Alasca que você irá saborear em sua sobremesa no banquete do caranguejo. Temos também um pequeno jardim e pomar. Gostamos de conversar sobre o que é necessário para sobreviver e prosperar em nossa localização remota.
Em seguida, voltamos à aldeia para ver nossos amigos no galpão de esculturas. Esta é a sua chance de observar os mestres escultores Tlingit locais fabricando totens com troncos de cedro amarelo.
A parada final é o deck do Hoonah Beach House para comer caranguejo fresco! O caranguejo que cobrimos anteriormente está pronto para ser cozido e preparado. Relaxe e observe enquanto mostramos a maneira local de cozinhar caranguejo. A maioria das pessoas nunca experimentou caranguejo recém-saído do barco. Normalmente, as barracas de caranguejo servem caranguejo pré-cozido, congelado e reaquecido. Mesmo aqueles que anunciam “frescos”. Nós não! Este é o verdadeiro negócio e você não vai acreditar na diferença. A maioria das pessoas nos diz que é o melhor caranguejo que já comeu.

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!
