Imagine towering Yosemite-like granite domes reaching thousands of feet skyward from where they stretch out of the sea. Picture bald eagles soaring overhead, dancing in and out of the mist that snakes along the vivid-green mossy cliffs around you. Good news! With our brand-new Misty Fjords Cruise, you can see this stunning, almost alien landscape firsthand on one of the most awe-inspiring shore excursions in Alaska. This dramatic geologic dreamscape, home to seals, countless seabirds, mountain goats, bears, wolves, and even killer whales (!), is perhaps one of the most gorgeous sites in an already gorgeous region, and this gem among Ketchikan Alaska tours lets you experience the wonder up-close and personal!
As with our other Ketchikan Alaska tours, your day on the water begins with pick-up at the cruise docks and transport to Misty Fjords National Monument, where you’ll meet your expert naturalist guide and board a state-of-the-art catamaran designed to give you the best possible views of this magnificent area. Enjoy complimentary food and beverages as you set out into the wild in search of natural wonders! Your guide will answer all your questions as you pass beneath thousand-foot cascading waterfalls and scan the emerald waters below for wildlife. You’ll explore these ancient glacially-carved fjords, sometimes referred to as the “Yosemite of the North,” to your heart’s content, weaving between eagles’ nests, bright green cliff sides, and even enigmatic Native American pictographs! Geology fan? Rejoice, as you’ll even Punchbowl Cove’s basalt columns and a volcanic plug called New Eddystone Rock that rises 200+ feet from the sea! Don’t forget your camera on this tour, one of the very best shore excursions in Alaska for lovers of scenic beauty, as it could be your chance for that hero shot you’ve been searching for! Shore excursions in Alaska simply don’t come more lovely than this one.
