Bering Sea Crab Fisherman's Tour from Ketchikan

Overview
A MUST DO TOUR IN ALASKA! One of the highest rated tours offered along Alaska's beautiful inside passage.  Find out what life is like as a commercial fisherman from men who have worked in the rugged Bering Sea.  These guys are the real deal! On board the Aleutian Ballad, a boat that was featured on the Discovery Channel’s popular TV show Deadliest Catch, you’ll cruise through the calm, protected waterways of the Inside Passage with an expert crew, watching as marine creatures of all kinds are caught and hauled up on deck. Catch is then held in a live tank for observation before being released back into the wild. You’ll see king crab, box crab, octopus, rockfish, prawns and more, plus you may catch sight of other local wildlife like sea lions and porpoise.  This tour has also become world renowned for a spectacular encounter with eagles in the wild.

We went on this trip in September and foolishly thought it would be more than stories of the fishermen on the boat. I thought the octopus in the barrel was horrendous

We are sorry you didn't enjoy the excursion. We would've hoped that you enjoyed the information about the sea life and area of Alaska.

Every thing about the Crab Fishing Tour was "the best". We loved it. We actually feel it was the best Alaska experience that we had. When they fed the Eagles, it was amazing. And the carb that we ate was incredible. If we get to Alaska again, we will absolutely do this tour again.
