Great tour! Very family friendly! My kids were able to throw fish off the boat to the eagles. (Not only the normal 4 pairs that have nests were in the area, but also 20 or so more birds were there also waiting for the salmon to start running.) The birds were as close 20 feet of the boat. Everyone had... more

My husband said he could have flown home the minute we walked off the crab boat and he would have had the best vacation (first port, first excursion)! This, from a man who didn't want to go for fear of getting sea sick. The crew was awesome, knowledge and so friendly. Everyone we have told about it, and showed our... more

This is a fantastic excursion for all ages, except maybe the smallest of children. The crew is truly exceptional. They entertain and educate. I agree with other reviews that they genuinely care whether you are having a good time and do all they can to make sure that you do. Don't leave Ketchikan or Alaska without taking this tour. You... more

We took the Bering Sea Crab Fisherman Tour while in Ketchikan on May 29, 2009 and we really enjoyed it. I'll preface my review by saying that I am a water lover, boat lover and a hardcore fisherman in my home state of Louisiana, so my love of this sort of thing may be a little biased. I watch the... more

Well worth the time and money. We will never forget our experience on The Aleution Ballad, we saw all kinds of sea creeatures including a huge octopus, who knew they were in Alaskan waters. The crew was warm and friendly and genuinely interested in making sure we had a good time. It is set up so that you are up... more

We were fortunate enough to take this trip in Ketchican while on the Diamond Princess. It has to be one of the most intresting and informative of the trips we have taken lately. The crew were hospitable, energentic fun and full of real life experiences. Most people have watched the Deadliest Catch and these men have worked on their own... more

So glad we splurged on this tour. Having been on the tour, we would've been sorry if we'd missed it. We got to hold a couple different kinds of crab. A couple crab pots were hauled. A couple octopus were brought aboard. And then there were the bald eagles. The swoop down so fast, seeming to come out of nowhere.... more

I am a huge fan of Deadliest Catch and was excited the day my boyfriend and I booked this tour off our cruise on the NCL Pearl. Little did I know that the tour would better well beyond any expections either of us would have. Even if you are not a fan of the Deadliest Catch show, you will love... more

This wasnt just a tour or excursion, it was an amazing experience we wont forget. The crew was very knowledgable, friendly and fun. If you like the tv show about crab fishing, you will love the tour. TV doesnt do it justice but the Aleutian Ballad that you get to go on, was in season 2 and took a 50ft... more

The tour was awesome! The crew was friendly, professional and fascinating to listen to. We saw eagles, Alaskan king crab, Opelio crab, box crabs, prawns and much more. This was actually one of the best shore excursions I've ever been on during a cruise and I would highly recommend it... the ONLY drawback was that my ship was in Ketchikan... more
