Embark on a calm, scenic cruise through a passage to the waters of Annette Bay -- home to the Tsimshian Native Americans. The maritime predators of Alaska also live along this rocky shoreline -- seals swim about, and North American bald eagles dive-bomb the boat to catch fish.
Watch as one of the crew demonstrates the oldest techniques of catching fish. Crabs, prawns, starfish, sea urchins and octopus are brought on board and placed in the live tank for you to view fresh from their natural habitat. Touch and learn about the vast sea life in this North Pacific ecosystem.
As you head back to port, enjoy a half-pound portion of the finest king crab, served picnic style, and listen to the stories of people who spend their lives on Alaska waters.
