The experience was poor. The food was bland, especially the SALMON! Dessert was dry sheet cake. Food on our cruise ship was better and we wish we had skipped the expensive, overpriced salmon bake and boarded the ship prior to dinner instead. Would not recommend.
Don’t do it. The food wasn’t fresh except for the salmon which was fine, not amazing. ALL of the sides had been sitting in the buffet for awhile. The cheese on the au gratin potatoes was hard and cold, The dessert was dry. The cornbread was dry. Only water and lemonade included for drinks. It’s a rip off for $75-80. Get the salmon bake on the ship and it will save you time, money and taste better.
Our tour guide was late so another driver came to take us on tour. The salmon, clam chowder, baked beans and ribs were very good. But some of the salmon had bones. Everything else was just ok, nothing outstanding. The gold panning was disappointing- difficult and hard to get (tiny flecks of gold). The atmosphere was nice and there was a nice waterfall nearby.
The salmon was delicious and we enjoyed watching it being masterfully grilled. The buffet of side dishes was mediocre. I'm not sure that it was worth the price. We did enjoy the waterfalls at the back of the property.
Rather disappointed. I felt the description of this trip pointed to something much more intimate. The salmon was nothing special and the small buffet was rather uninviting. Self service. which was fine. An expensive touristy trip. I would have rather spent my money elsewhere. We were dropped off by the shuttle bus. The bus driver gave us a little guided talk on the way over. We found our own way to the outdoor covered seats. It was rather chilly in the late afternoon, although they did have some heaters on close to some tables. Very few people eating and a lack of atmosphere. The servers were welcoming. The singer, guitarist was rather lovely. There was a short walk to a waterfall and old mining equipment.
The setting was nice with live music playing while we ate. The salmon and ribs were a hit, and the walk up the creek to the falls was a nice finish to the trip.
A 10 bus ride though the city and dropped off at a location to eat & site see. The food could have been hotter and more tasty, very bland. Prior to boarding the bus. I advised The Guide, that three (3) of our friend got sick on the ship. She was advised that I tried at the 27th-30th hours deadline to cancelling, but the phone remained busy and the site was down. The Guide was like "oh well attitude". I'm requesting a refund for the 3 reservations.
The food was excellent! The bbq ribs were on point!! Actually probably better than the salmon which was also amazing with the glaze. The waterfall, the gold panning just a nice atmosphere!! Definitely worth your time and money!
Food was wonderful. Service great. The waterfall near by was a must see. The people were friendly and helpful.
Maybe I didn't research enough about this but I thought this was going to be a small group activity where we caught and prepared our own salmon. Turns out it was more like summer camp. Like 700 people in a buffet line. Went really quick though and was absolutely delicious. A little camp fire for roasting marshmallows and a nice little walk to a picturistic water fall. I would do again, just slightly disappointed I didn't get to catch and prepare my own.
