Excursion Overview

Charter an adventure to the majestic Misty Fjords National Monument

Your memorable journey starts when you board a 30' Aluminum Chambered boat from the downtown waterfront of Alaska's first city, Ketchikan to the beautiful Misty Fjords National Monument. After entering this majestic wilderness area at the entrance to Rudyerd Bay you will be surrounded by towering cliffs, sheer rock faces, and waterfalls cascading into Punchbowl Cove, emerald lakes, and fjords.

Misty Fjords is about 40 miles east of Ketchikan, Alaska, along the Inside Passage coast in southeastern Alaska, and approximately two hours (one way) by boat. What makes this Misty Fjords boat tour unique is you become the captain of the ship! You will work in close partnership with the captain to determine the course. If you decide you would like to stop and enjoy certain areas of the Misty Fjords longer, perhaps New Eddystone Rock, an immense volcanic spire rising from the emerald sea, or the abundant coastal and marine wildlife including bald eagles, black and brown bears, humpback and orca whales, and more, we will do so.

Enjoy your time through the splendid two million-acre wilderness preserve surrounded by 3,000-foot vertical cliffs, glacial fjords, and cascading waterfalls. Bring your camera, as photo opportunities of spectacular scenery and wildlife opportunities abound! A day cruise to Misty Fjords National Monument is an experience you'll always remember.

Great scenery, but a little too long.

My husband and I really enjoyed the boat excursion to Misty Fjords. Our captain Keith took us to the beautiful nature. His narrative was very knowledgeable and professional. We had a great experience to see wildlife. We will highly recommend this excursion to our friends!

This was an incredible excursion with a very knowledgeable guide. The views here were breathtaking. It s about 1.5-2 hrs from where the cruise ship docs, but well worth the ride. We saw whales and seals and even a deer swimming from one island to another! Sheldon was a great captain who tailored our trip to what we wanted. He knew our time constraints and was able to work to get us back to our cruise ship on time. I would highly recommend Sheldon and the trip to Misty Fjord.
