Misty Fjords & Wilderness Explorer

Explore Misty Fjords - one of nature’s most spectacular creations - while cruising in luxury aboard one of the fastest sightseeing vessels in Alaska. Enjoy the service and narrative provided by your crew, and watch for wildlife as the water jet-powered catamaran "flies" at sea level past rugged coastlines. Voyage into Behm Canal, surrounded by the pristine beauty of Misty Fjords. Stop to view a bald eagle’s nest, and a Tlingit pictograph. Admire New Eddystone Rock, an immense volcanic spire rising from the sea. You’ll explore Rudyerd Bay, an ice-carved masterpiece deep within the Monument. Learn the natural history of the fjords while gliding quietly beneath 3,000-foot vertical cliffs. Feel the mist of glistening waterfalls and listen to the call of seabirds nesting on a rock face sculpted by glacial forces. Enjoy a selection of complimentary snacks and beverages while watching for other species of wildlife that thrive here. En route to Ketchikan, you’ll have the opportunity to experience Native culture and history presented by a Tlingit storyteller, watch a native artist at work, or enjoy a tour-related video presentation. Note: Be sure to bring a warm, rainproof jacket to wear on the topside observation deck, as this tour operates in all weather conditions. Wildlife sightings are frequent, but not guaranteed. Wheelchair access may be limited - for details, please consult your Shore Excursion staff before booking.
