My pre-booked trip was a Wilderness Adventure and Crab Feast. “Come hungry” they said. Off we went in a rickety old bus, no seat belts, hurtling around somewhere north of Ketchikan past a mother bear and two cubs fishing, but no chance of photos, to a Lodge accessed by 500 steps to board a boat on Tarr Inlet where we saw seals, bald eagles and crabs.
The bald eagles were fantastic, swooping down towards our boat with wide outstretched wings to where our guide was holding out fish. “Do not feed the wildlife” “Keep our wildlife wild” say signs everywhere but perhaps that only applies to tourists. Our guide hauled up a trap full of crabs
Note the avid photographers, so avid you’re lucky to get any photos.
Back on land we were given half a crab each with butter and instructions on how to crack and eat it. Then they came with another half and another half. It truly was “all you can eat”. Lovely fresh sweet meat. Then we hurtled back down the mountain again and none of those who went on that trip ate dinner.
