We start off the tour with a nice trip over the whale watching grounds on a 12 mile run to the crabbing location. From there we put your names on the crab pot buoys, bait the pots and toss them over. Huge Dungeness crab, rock crab, and even Puget Sound king/Box crab, starfish and other oddities are hauled up in our crab traps. We can spend some time doing a bit of fishing or whale watching in the middle of the tour. You are able to ship your catch home or eat it back at the dock. Approx 4 hours

Our stargazing activity stands apart as the only dedicated stargazing experience in Alaska. While the aurora might make a surprise appearance, we focus on the deep sky—constellations, planets, and galaxies—using a high-powered telescope. From our private, heated lodge near Fairbanks, we guide you through the cosmos. You’ll also learn astrophotography and how we reduce light pollution for the best viewing. It’s a unique, educational, and cozy journey into the night sky.

Choose this activity if you are all about maximizing your time to get your best chance at viewing the lights for a full rotation of the Aurora Oval throughout a night. Then activity is the one for you!!!
