This exclusive, personalized boat tour is led by a lifelong resident of Ketchikan, who has extensive experience boating in Misty Fjords.

The tour usually features New Eddystone Rock and various locations in Rudyerd Bay. Rudyerd Bay is a breathtaking fjord renowned for its towering granite cliffs and awe-inspiring waterfalls that cascade thousands of feet. The tour also delves into the history of Misty Fjords. Participants often encounter ancient pictographs and wildlife such as bears, birds, seals, Humpback Whales, and Orcas.

As highlighted, this is a tailored tour. If your group wishes to spend additional time observing something (like a pod of Killer Whales), accommodations can be made. The guide will keep you informed about any changes to the tour and its schedule. The tour commentary will focus on key highlights and will be delivered in a conversational manner. The aim is to avoid overwhelming guests with excessive information. However, guests are encouraged to ask as many questions as they wish.
