Description

The Alaska Fishing & Wilderness Dining excursion is the ultimate Alaska cruise tour for those looking for an authentic, off-the-beaten-path experience! Live a day in the life of a local Ketchikan fisherman in this 'Salmon Capital of the World'. Expert guides take you on an adventure through the unspoiled wilderness in exclusive fishing locations and a beautiful shoreline campsite. This Alaska Fishing & Wilderness Dining excursion is sure to create lasting memories for you and your loved ones!

Your fishing excursion in Ketchikan Alaska starts with meeting the friendly guides right at your cruise ship, and a short walk to the gear center. You'll be looking like a local Alaskan in no time as you suit up in the provided waterproof bib, boots, hat, and gloves. After a short introduction and obtaining your state-required fishing license, it's time to head to the 21-foot open-air skiff! Enjoy gorgeous views and keep an eye out for eagles, seals, and whales on the 20-30 minute ride to the pristine fishing spots. Not to worry if you're brand new to fishing! Our seasoned guides show you the ropes of saltwater bottom fishing and provide you with quality gear to catch halibut, lingcod, rockfish, and more! Additionally, the experience is customized to fit your interests and skill level in this intimate, small-group excursion.

Get ready to enjoy a meal that might easily be the best you'll eat in Alaska! You'll head to the gorgeous and remote campsite where the chef prepares your gourmet lunch featuring your fresh catch! Walk the serene shoreline, explore through the lush rainforest, or just sip coffee and hot chocolate around the cozy campfire. Your meal includes the day's catch atop bouillabaisse, potatoes, fire-baked fresh bread, and spicy rouille. Finish it off with delicious blueberry and rhubarb bread pudding! While there are several fishing excursions in Alaska, you'd be hard-pressed to find one that compares to this Alaska Fishing & Wilderness Dining experience! This exclusive tour will leave you with lasting and fond memories of your time in Ketchikan.
