About this tour

Learn to catch crab beneath one of San Francisco’s most recognizable landmarks on this hands-on crab-snaring experience. With experienced local guides, you’ll discover West Coast crabbing from shore using a fishing rod and reel rather than traditional pots or traps.

Your guide will walk you through setting up the gear, baiting, and casting a crab snare, then explain how to identify species, measure your catch, handle crabs safely, and follow responsible crabbing practices. All crabbing equipment is provided, and no previous fishing or crabbing experience is needed. The 120-minute outing meets at Torpedo Wharf Fishing Pier near the Warming Hut, where you can look for the DURASNARE banner.

Whether you’re visiting or live nearby, San Francisco crab snaring offers a memorable way to spend time by the water and learn a practical new skill. Join a guided San Francisco crab snaring experience and try your hand at catching crab beneath the Golden Gate Bridge.

How this score is calculated

This tour has no TourTruth score yet: Viator doesn't show a usable rating for it. It gets a score as soon as a provider lists one.

How the score works
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10. Tours without a usable provider rating are not scored.
