The Misty Fjords boat tour is one of the top-rated excursions in Ketchikan, and after reading several Misty Fjords boat tour reviews, I couldn’t wait to experience the breathtaking scenery firsthand. The Misty Fjords National Monument is a spectacular wilderness area featuring dramatic cliffs, cascading waterfalls, and stunning forests. Known as the "Yosemite of the North," the Misty Fjords National Monument Wilderness offers an incredible landscape that leaves a lasting impression.
Our Misty Fjords boat tour was perfectly organized, with the guides providing fascinating insights into the area. We saw incredible Misty Fjords National Monument photos come to life, and the beauty of the fjords, including places like Rudyerd Bay, was even more awe-inspiring in person. The Misty Fjords seaplane tour added an aerial perspective, which allowed for stunning views of the landscape from above.
For those flying into town, there are convenient flights to Ketchikan Alaska, and transportation options like Island Wings Ketchikan Alaska or Seawind Aviation Ketchikan provide seamless access to the area. We used Family Air Ketchikan for a scenic flightseeing experience that complemented our fjord exploration. The Ketchikan Misty Fjords tours come highly recommended, with the Misty Fjords and Wilderness Explorer being a favorite among visitors.
For an all-encompassing experience, we also enjoyed the Ketchikan all-in-one tour, which provided everything from seaplane adventures to local Ketchikan taxi tours. Misty Fjords air and outfitting services made the experience safe and unforgettable, and we found the local taxi cabs in Ketchikan Alaska helpful for getting around town.
