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.

One of very best tours we have taken anywhere in world. If you like nature, this is for you. If you like learning the stories of trial and triumph, this is for you. If you like digging into the culture and history of a place, this is for you. If you only do one tour in Alaska, do this one!

This was a great excursion while our Carnival cruise ship stopped in Ketchikan. The captain and crew were very informative and helpful, getting us suited up with insulated and rainproof gear for the rainy and chilly weather. We stopped to see Eagles as they swooped down to pick up fish that the crew through in the water for them. We saw a whale making a ring in the water and coming up to catch a mouthful of fish. We saw Box Crab that they pulled up in their trap cage along with some King Crab and a live giant octopus that they had on board.
