Here, you'll make your way up a path strewn with clam shells bleached by the sun. Enjoy an appetizer of clams and nectar before entering the long house for your buffet dinner. Guests can watch whole salmon being cooked on cedar stakes over an alder-wood fire in the traditional Northwest Coast Indian Style and watch a dance show in the spirit of Northwest Coast Indians. « less

Great for tourists and visiting family. Nice ferry ride w/tour guide, delicious salmon dinner, great show, fun time exploring the island. Definitely would recommend everyone do once- be sure to bring your out of state friends, this event really gives them "a taste of Washington". More

Whether a local or out-of-towner, this is a must do!! You will love the water and the sights of Puget Sound.

Out-of-Towners love to visit this attraction. On a nice day the cruise itself is worth the expense. The show provides an interesting look into a piece of Northwest Native culture and walking the island is a wonderland. More

I was extremely dissapointed. The cruise part was nice and relaxing, but once you get on the island it was a complete bore. I was expecting live performances. There was some, but most was a video. My kids and I had a hard time not dosing off thourghout all the slow talking videos. Food was okay, but we are locals... More

The boat ride over is nice, but the experience feels a little hokey and the food is just OK. More

Accessible only by boat, but worth the trip. By day, the park is very peaceful. By night, the island comes alive with native American drums, a fabulous show and delicious planked salmon dinner. More

A boat ride, a show built off of PNW Native American culture, alder planked salmon and ... do take the time... a walk in the State Park. Check for discounts on sites like Goldstar for discounted last minute tickets. More
