Since 1962, guests have visited Tillicum Village for the fresh salmon dinner and to experience Northwest Coast Native American Culture. Your 4-hour adventure begins with an Argosy cruise on Puget Sound to Blake Island. 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 Longhouse for your buffet dinner.
Guests can watch whole salmon being cooked on cedar stakes over an alder-wood fire in the traditional NW Coast Indian Style.
As you finish your meal, the lights dim while the myth and magic come to life in the spellbinding performance featuring the Tillicum Village dancers. The highly acclaimed show leads visitors through an enchanting tour of the customs, beliefs and dances of the Northwest Coast Indians.
After the show, you have approximately 30 minutes of free time when you can watch carving demonstrations, browse through the gift gallery featuring artwork of local artisans or stroll along the pleasant beaches and forest trails.
