My husband and I are avid oyster lovers and when I saw this as an excursion choice I knew we had to go! Pick-up from the dock was easy and since we were the first tour, it was just us and one other person! Everyone from our driver, the capt, and staff at Hump Island were so welcoming, friendly, and informative about the area. With our group being so small, it felt more intimate and enjoyable. Our boat ride was great to and from Hump Island because our captain made sure to show us around and we were able to catch glimpses of bald eagles and whales! Once we arrived to Hump Island Oyster Co we were greeted and given such detail about the process at the farm. Our kids got to enjoy their touch tank and even spotted some jellyfish! Once upstairs, we enjoyed raw and charbroiled oysters along with some amazing salsas and sauces. The whole experience reminded my husband and I of that of wine tasting, but with oysters. Conversation flowed and the laid back atmosphere was comfortable and enjoyable. It was magical being in this part of Alaska and enjoying fresh oysters shucked right in front of us and grown right there. Thank you, Hump Island Oyster Co! We look forward to making our way back in the future and can't recommend this tour enough to others on cruises or visiting Ketchikan!

I love oysters and it was great seeing how much work and care goes into farming of oysters, especially in Coldwater such as Alaska because the water is so cold they still lose about 50% of the oysters they begin with. The setting is just spectacular and the tour is very well organized. I would suggest that if you're ever in Ketchikan Alaska on a cruise or other vacation that you take part in this fun activity.

Unfortunately, after much prebuilt excitement to visit that little shop, we left disappointed…read more Lured in by the owner to sample various salmon products and loving the taste of them, we were made to believe those products were exclusively made for this specific shop. So we stocked up on items worth over $200 total, including some gifts for our friends. Then, on the way out we saw another shop just around the corner and decided to see if we could get a few more things. Well... that other shop had mostly the same items but at much lower prices. In the most extreme case, we're talking the same exact item (brand, size, and packaging) costing $5.95 when we just bought several of those at the Salmon Market for $16.95 each! I could understand a $1-2 price difference between different stores, but this was ***3x the price***... We went back to see if we could return them so we could buy them at the other store, and Salmon Market ended up price matching which means this item was never worth anywhere near that price and they absolutely knew that. This left a sour taste in our mouths and I suggest you shop around 2-3 other stores before buying anything there.

This place is way cooler than your average coffee stop. During the day it's got the cozy café vibe, but you can tell it flips into a bar at night kind of a two-for-one personality. Now, the front-of-house situation deserves a shoutout. One woman was doing it all: host, server, cashier, barista you name it, she was wearing all hats. Service was on the slower side (understandable with one person running the show), but her energy was so upbeat, friendly and engaging. For drinks, we went with an extra-hot vanilla latte and a chai latte. That chai? Easily top five of my life spicy, creamy, just perfect. We couldn't resist grabbing a snack too: crispy king crab wontons (can't remember the exact name, but you'll know them when you see them). They came with this cheesy dipping sauce that was ridiculously addictive. Here's the kicker though two lattes and that appetizer set us back about $40. Not cheap, but honestly, that's kind of the Alaska way. Everything up there runs pricey, so you just roll with it. All in all, The Krabby crab is a great spot to hide from the elements, recharge with some caffeine, grab a little bite, and yes they even have a nice bathroom, which every traveler knows is a big deal.
