This is a private, custom boat tour led by a lifelong Ketchikan resident who has spent decades boating in Misty Fjords. The tour typically includes New Eddystone Rock and numerous sites in Rudyerd Bay. Rudyerd Bay is a stunning fjord known for its massive granite cliffs and breathtaking waterfalls that drop thousands of feet. The tour also covers the history of Misty Fjords. We often see ancient pictographs and wildlife such as bears, birds, seals, Humpback Whales, and Orcas. As mentioned above, this is a custom tour. If your group wants to spend more time viewing something (like a pod of Killer Whales), we can do that. Your guide will keep you updated on any adjustments to the tour and its timing. The tour narrative will cover key highlights but will be more conversational in style. We aim to avoid overwhelming passengers with a constant stream of information. That said, guests are encouraged to ask as many questions as they like. You will find the Explorer to be very comfortable

Q&A

Q: What's the best time of year to book this boat tour?

A: The summer months, especially June through August, are the best for this tour. The weather is usually warmer and wildlife is more active, which means better chances of seeing whales and bears. If you can, book during early morning or late afternoon for cooler temps and fewer crowds. Just be mindful of occasional rain, even in summer!

Q: Are there any age restrictions for this boat tour?

A: No age restrictions! It's suitable for all ages. Kids love spotting wildlife, and there's plenty of comfort on board. Just make sure younger kids have life jackets, which are provided. The guide is really good with families too!

Q: What should we wear for the private boat tour?

A: Dress in layers! It can get chilly on the water, so a warm jacket and a hat are essential, even in summer. Waterproof shoes are a good idea too, since you might get splashed. Don’t forget sunglasses and sunscreen, as the glare off the water can be intense!

Considering the Private Boat Tour of Misty Fjords for my parents' anniversary!

I’m thinking of booking this tour out of Ketchikan as a surprise for my parents. They love nature and the idea of seeing orcas and waterfalls sounds amazing! Has anyone done this? What’s the best time to go? Also, any tips on what to bring?

Just got back from the Misty Fjords tour - WOW!

I just did the Private Boat Tour of Misty Fjords and it was one of the best experiences of my life! Our guide was super knowledgeable and adjusted the tour based on what we wanted to see. We got really close to some waterfalls and even spotted a pod of killer whales! Highly recommend this for anyone who loves nature.
