What happens on the day
Experience one of the most unique activities in San Francisco! During this 3-hour lesson, you’ll learn the art of crabbing, all from the picturesque shores of San Francisco Bay.
Your adventure kicks off when you meet your expert guide and instructor near the Golden Gate Bridge. Together, you’ll learn about each piece of equipment and the bay’s unique ecosystem. Then, it’s time to crab!
Standing along the shore (no pesky boats or sea sickness necessary), you’ll carefully toss in your crab snare and bait. The bay is home to a variety of crabs and if you’re lucky, you might just reel in a Pacific Rock Crab or Brown Rock Crab. Your guide will provide instruction on cooking and cleaning your catch. So, you can take it home and enjoy one of the freshest meals around.
No matter what, you’ll admire jaw-dropping views of San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge – the perfect backdrop for your crabbing adventure!
