Overview

This is a private, custom boat tour led by a lifelong Ketchikan resident who has spent decades boating in Misty Fjords.

The tour typically includes New Eddystone Rock and numerous sites in Rudyerd Bay. Rudyerd Bay is a stunning fjord known for its massive granite cliffs and breathtaking waterfalls that drop thousands of feet. The tour also covers the history of Misty Fjords. We often see ancient pictographs and wildlife such as bears, birds, seals, Humpback Whales, and Orcas.

As mentioned above, this is a custom tour. If your group wants to spend more time viewing something (like a pod of Killer Whales), we can do that. Your guide will keep you updated on any adjustments to the tour and its timing. The tour narrative will cover key highlights but will be more conversational in style. We aim to avoid overwhelming passengers with a constant stream of information. That said, guests are encouraged to ask as many questions as they like.

You will find the Explorer to be very comfortable
