Icy Strait Tlingit Village Tour with Crab Feast

Beginning at the picturesque Icy Strait Point excursion hub, this tour unravels the charm of Alaskan life, designed to connect you deeply with Alaska's core.

Your adventure begins as we take you to our harbored commercial fishing boat where we house our morning catch. Here, you get a firsthand look at the Alaskan fishing and crabbing scene, engaging with everyday gear and possibly even catching sight of Alaska's famed Dungeness crab, known to be of the highest quality.

We then take an enchanting stroll through our luscious berry patch and mesmerizing forest, our local garden and favorite foraging spots, where we share insights on how we flourish in this complex yet beautiful environment. Enjoy this rare opportunity to soak in Alaska's rich nature - you might even spot a coastal brown bear!

Following this, the tour steers back to the village to observe the artistry in action at the carving shed, as you witness Tlingit master carvers sculpt yellow cedar logs into totem poles. Afterward, we’ll head back to Hoonah Beach House for an irresistible crab feast on our private deck overlooking the water. Indulge in a bounty of crab, caught fresh and cooked to sheer perfection. Top it off with a homemade dessert crafted from wild Alaska berries foraged on our property.

Our deck offers a splendid vantage point for wildlife photography, with eagles often gracing the vicinity and humpback whales showcasing their grandeur. We welcome you to participate in our local way of cooking, cleaning, and cracking crab, or to simply enjoy the experience from your comfortable spot on our deck.
