 Take the ultimate tour by boat and plane through Misty Fjords National Monument, one of the most majestic creations on earth! Cruise in luxury aboard our comfortable high-speed vessel into the heart of the Monument, then enjoy an incredible tour through Behm Canal and Rudyerd Bay, surrounded by cliffs towering thousands of feet and waterfalls cascading into emerald waters. You’ll visit many points of interest, such as an active eagle’s nest, a mysterious Native pictograph, and Punchbowl Cove with its columnar basalt formations and the colorful Mossy Wall bird rookery. The towering volcanic spire known as New Eddystone Rock calls to mind the dramatic geologic forces that shaped this area six million years ago.
A knowledgeable naturalist will provide in-depth commentary on the natural history of the area as you enjoy an assortment of food and beverages. Watch for bears, mountain goats, timber wolves, seals, sea lions, and humpback and killer whales from the warm comfort of enclosed cabins or with the mist on your face on the outside deck. At the far reaches of Rudyerd Bay is a floating dock from which you’ll transfer to an authentic Alaska seaplane.
From the air, you can truly appreciate the magnitude and majesty of Rudyerd Bay, the crown jewel of this two million acre monument. Soar over pristine wilderness and enjoy the unspoiled forest, lakes and muskeg bogs. Keep a sharp eye out for more bears and whales. Upon your return you’ll see a wide, panoramic view of the city of Ketchikan before making a safe water landing.
Tour Includes: Transfer to or from seaplane dock, narrated cruise and narrated flightseeing. Complimentary snacks and beverages served aboard the cruise.
