About

Embark on the Wilderness Exploration & Crab Feast and dive into the heart of Southeast Alaska's breathtaking Tongass National Forest. Feel the pioneer spirit as you immerse yourself in the daily life of a local Alaskan. Get hands-on and volunteer to pull up crab pots from the bountiful waters surrounding Revillagigedo Island, teeming with delectable Dungeness Crab. Breathe in the crisp, fresh air and marvel at the stunning scenery while your crew shares captivating stories and the rich history of this magnificent waterway.

No Alaskan crabbing adventure would be complete without a feast of fresh Dungeness Crab! Indulge in a fresh Asian salad and a scrumptious cheesecake with blueberry topping for dessert, rounding out this hearty meal. This feast is known for being a "Rowdy good time!" as your hosts entertain you with local tall tales and demonstrate the easiest way to crack your crabs. The remote location at the rustic yet elegant George Inlet Lodge adds to your dining pleasure. This historic building, once an old cannery bunkhouse, was moved to its present location at the site of an old gold mine. The lodge's warmth and charm create a relaxing experience that will be the highlight of your Alaskan journey. Don't forget to visit the gift shop for a special souvenir to remember your trip.

Don't miss out on this opportunity to catch crab’s Alaskan style! Bring the kids, bring your camera, and get ready to have the time of your life on this unique crabbing adventure.
