Even in the wind and rain, this excursion is a MUST. :) - My husband and I picked the Wilderness Dining and Alaska Fishing excursion with our Celebrity Edge cruise. This was such an AMAZING experience. We had Lindsey Parent as our guide and she was excellent at helping everyone into their gear, explaining the fishing rod/equipment and making sure we were all taken care of once it was time for our meal! She made sure everyone caught a fish (or five!) and was great about helping us take pictures of our catch! The food was incredible (I don't normally like fish, but I could eat this meal over & over) and sitting by the fireside with some hot chocolate was PERFECT for a very chilly, windy and rainy day. The rain and wind did not dampen our experience one bit! Highly recommend!! :)

Cruise ship fishing excursion - We had a fabulous time with our guide James. Our group consisted of two couples and a young man on his own. James put us on the fish and we caught fish the entire trip. We caught a variety of rock fish, several cod and salmon. The boat was large enough for everyone to fish comfortably. The trip was topped off with a shore lunch that rivaled or surpassed any restaurant preparation. Everyone in our party agreed that this was the best excursion of the week on our Norwegian Cruise.

Captain Kinani Knows Her Stuff! - Captain Kinani was AWESOME! A truly local experience with a highly gifted guide, she made the whole day perfect for me and my daughter. We learned so much along the way and enjoyed a delicious campfire meal with the rockfish and rock bass our group caught. We were on the Disney Wonder and had 2 other excursions in 2 previous ports - This one was by far, my favorite!

Must Do / Highly recommend - This was awesome! I didn't know what to expect and almost cancelled the excursion. So glad I didn't! I booked through Alaska shore excursions which was cheaper than though the cruise line. My tour guide Jonathan was professional, knowledgeable, courteous and just overall great. He guaranteed that we'd make a catch and indeed we did. Immediately after catching enough for us, Jonathan to us to the campsite, cleaned and fileted our catch. We sat next to a fire and drank coffee while his partner cooked. This was one of the highlights of my trip!! A must do / highly recommend. Thanks Jonathan and staff!!

Great! Would highly recommend! - Zane was our fisherman; I called him the Ketchikan fishing cowboy! He was very nice and helped make our day very enjoyable. Was a rough ride out, but was great fishing and delicious campfire dinning!

Best activity we did in Alaska - Tim was a great fishing guide! We had an amazing experience and made lots of memories. Learning the basic fishing skills was simple and Tim made sure to take us to several locations to catch a variety of fish. We caught some cool fish, some strange fish, and some really tasty fish. We learned a lot about the fish varieties in the area and Ketchikan wildlife. You can tell it’s really important to Tim that his fishing group have a good experience. The meal at the camp was phenomenal - the best fish meal we had during our entire Alaska cruise. 100/10 would recommend.
