Misty Fjords National Monument is one of Alaska's most majestic National Parks. Cruise Alaska's Inside Passage out of Ketchikan, AK aboard a high-speed catamaran into the heart of Misty Fjords National Monument, then enjoy an incredible Alaska wildlife cruise through Behm Canal and Rudyerd Bay, surrounded by cliffs towering thousands of feet and waterfalls cascading into emerald waters. You’ll visit many points of interest, such as an active eagle’s nest, a mysterious Alaska Native pictograph, and Misty Fjord’s Punchbowl Cove with its columnar basalt formations and the colorful Mossy Wall bird rookery. The towering volcanic spire known as New Eddystone Rock calls to mind the dramatic geologic forces that shaped this area six million years ago.
A knowledgeable Alaska naturalist guide will provide in-depth commentary on the geology and history of this area in Alaska’s Inside Passage as you enjoy an assortment of delicious food and beverages. Watch for Alaska brown bears (also known as "grizzly bears"), mountain goats, timber wolves, seals, sea lions, and enjoy Alaska whale watching for humpback and killer whales from the warm comfort of the enclosed salon of your catamaran or go out on deck with the mist on your face - but don’t forget to grab your camera! At the far reaches of Misty Fjord’s Rudyerd Bay is a floating dock from which you’ll transfer to an authentic Alaska floatplane.
From the air, you can truly appreciate the magnitude and majesty of Rudyerd Bay, the crown jewel of this two million acre National Monument. Soar over pristine Alaskan wilderness and enjoy the unspoiled forest, lakes and muskeg bogs of her Inside Passage landscapes. Upon your return you’ll see a wide, panoramic view of the city of Ketchikan, Alaska before making a water landing.
