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.
