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.

Just returned from an Alaskian Cruise with NCL and the Bering Sea Crab Fisherman's Tour made is it the most memorable experience of a lifetime. I have been on many excursions and this one TOPS them all. David, Kiwi, Cheif, and the whole crew was remarkable. This is a tour for the whole family to enjoy TOGETHER. I have to say this is very educational for EVERYONE. You interacted with the crew and learned about the local marine life. You were able to get the most majestic bird, a Bald Eagle, caputured on camera up close. This is one excursion you will continually want to take pictures. So make sure your batteries are charged and you have plenty of film or memory on your digital camera. You could feel the crew's passion and desire felt as they told their adventurous stories as they shared their personal experience with the guests. This excursion was not just someone that just talked and went through a script. You should NOT miss the opportunity to go on this excursion.
