Gold Creek Salmon Bake

Trees, mountains, and the rushing water of Salmon Creek surround the comfortable, canopy-covered benches and tables at this authentic, all-you-can-eat salmon bake operated through Alaska Travel Adventures. After dinner you can pan for gold in the stream, wander up a hill to explore the remains of a gold mine, or roast marshmallows over a fire.

If you're on a one-way cruise there are other panning excursions inland in AK, and down here near Vancouver there's the excellent Britannia Mining Museum which includes gold panning - but if it's an RT with just your two mentioned ports having any free time and you can't manage the Gold Creek excursion out of Juneau, then I think Liarsville is your only other option for panning. This is a salmon bake in a Ye Olde Historick Golde Rushe Campe outside Skagway with costumed entertainers regaling you with tall tales - at least the name is appropriate😉 Especially since there was no gold in Skagway, just the start of the trails up into Canada where the gold was!

The Gold Creek Salmon Bake is an all-you-can-eat Alaskan feast that also includes the opportunity to sift for gold at Wagner Mine and even watch a Tlingit Master Carver work on totem poles and silver.

This salmon bake tour on Viator truly offers history, nature, culture, and food.
