This tour combines three activities into one exciting and delicious expedition.
Enjoy a narrated tour of Ketchikan by motorcoach en route to Clover Pass Resort -- the oldest continuously-operated fishing resort in the State of Alaska. At Clover Pass, you'll boarding the boat and meet the crew before you head out in search of today's excitement.
Your pause near and active eagle's nest to learn about "America's bird" and look for hatchlings in the nest. Your skipper will navigate his/her way through bays and inlets while the narrator offers insights into the land, air and sea. Learn about the timber industry and how it shaped the development of Alaska, and get a feel for life on Revillagigedo Island.
Next, venture past the Back Island Naval Testing Facility -- home to some of the most sensitive ears on the planet. Learn about their work on cruise ships and Navy vessels, including nuclear submarines. Keep your eyes open for wildlife, as porpoises and seals are frequent visitors along the route. During May and September, whales are often sighted inside Clover Passage.
Your final stop is at Silverking Lodge, located in the heart of Grant Island State Marine Park. At this working fishing lodge, you'll check out the day's catch as fishermen make their way back from a day on the water. Walk the elevated boardwalk into the heart of the rainforest for an up-close look at the flora and fauna of Southeast Alaska, and take your picture next to the largest-known red cedar in the Tongass National Forest.
Beneath the covered gazebo, dine on a delectable seafood meal of crab, shrimp, clams, mussels, potatoes, onions, garlic, corn, and sausage -- all cooked in one delicious pot and served piping hot at your table. Top off your meal with dessert if you still have room.
Use your last few minutes to take photos, grab a souvenir from the gift shop, or savor the atmosphere in this very special place before heading back to Clover Pass Resort and the ship.
