Adventure Alaska: Premium Alaska Tour Package

No trip to Alaska is complete without a Misty Fjords flightseeing adventure. Climb aboard a classic DeHavilland Beaver or Otter floatplane and soar over one of the state’s most awe-inspiring natural wonders. With 2.3 million acres of protected wilderness, Misty Fjords National Monument is a landscape of sheer granite cliffs, crystal-clear lakes, plunging waterfalls, and ancient forests covering snow-dusted peaks.

The experience begins just a short walk from your cruise ship, where you’ll be picked up and transferred to the floatplane base. After a quick orientation video, you’ll take off from the water and begin your journey into Alaska’s untamed frontier. This flight offers more than just stunning views—it’s a full sensory experience. Your seasoned bush pilot provides live narration through noise-canceling headsets, bringing the region’s geology, wildlife, and history to life as you fly. Every guest enjoys a guaranteed window seat, so you won’t miss a moment.

Your exact route may vary with weather, which only adds to the uniqueness of the journey. You may spot New Eddystone Rock and Big Goat Lake to the south, or fly north toward Neets Bay and Bell Island Hot Springs. No matter the direction, the views are unforgettable. Keep an eye out for wildlife along the way—mountain goats, black and brown bears, moose, bald eagles, and more inhabit this dramatic landscape.

Whether it’s your first time in Ketchikan or your fifth, this Misty Fjords Flightseeing Tour delivers a once-in-a-lifetime perspective on Alaska’s rugged beauty—and memories that will stay with you long after you land.

With respect for full transparency, we want to let our guests know that there have been tragic fatal accidents on the Misty Fjords flight in years past. While small aircraft is the main mode of transportation in Alaska, there will always be risks. Our operating partner, Taquan Air, takes every precaution to make the most informed decision about flight conditions for that day and will cancel the tour if the weather poses any threat. Their pilots are extensively trained, monitor weather conditions closely, and fly with at least 4 miles of visibility. The company has also voluntarily adopted safety practices beyond those required by federal standards.

This is a private whale-watching trip designed for groups seeking a relaxed, personalized experience on the water. From start to finish, the tour takes about 4 hours and 15 minutes, including transportation. Of that time, you’ll spend roughly three hours out on the water, which gives you plenty of time to look for whales without feeling rushed.

The day starts with a shuttle pickup near the cruise docks or downtown Juneau. From there, you’ll head out to the harbor, meet your captain, and board a boat that’s reserved just for your group. Before leaving the dock, there’s time to use the restroom on land and get settled. There’s also a restroom on board, though it’s small.

Once you’re cruising, the focus is simple: spend time where the whales are. Most days, you’re looking for humpback whales, which are commonly seen feeding and surfacing in these waters. You might hear them breathe, watch them roll at the surface, or see a tail come up before a dive. It’s also common to spot sea lions, porpoises, and bald eagles along the way. With a private boat, you can move around easily, ask questions, and take photos without competing for space.

On the way back, the shuttle usually makes a brief stop at Brotherhood Bridge for a view of the Mendenhall Glacier, weather permitting. After that, you’re dropped back where you started, with plenty of time left in your day.

Towering waterfalls, rugged cliffs, and abundant wildlife make the upper Lynn Canal one of Alaska’s most breathtaking waterways. The Skagway Waterfall & Wildlife Tour is a small-group Alaska shore tour that takes you deep into North America’s deepest fjord, where sheer rock faces rise dramatically from the water and lush forests cling to the mountainsides. Keep your eyes on the shoreline—harbor seals often rest on rocky outcrops, bald eagles circle overhead, and, if you're lucky, you might spot a whale surfacing in the distance.

Your experienced captain will guide you through these historic waters, sharing stories of Skagway’s past and pointing out the remnants of shipwrecks that still rest along the coastline. One of the highlights of the journey is a stop at a secluded glacial harbor, where the towering peaks and pristine waters create a scene straight from an Alaskan postcard. As you take in the scenery, enjoy a taste of Alaska with locally smoked salmon and crackers, a perfect complement to the crisp coastal air. 

This Skagway shore tour offers a rare opportunity to explore the region’s stunning natural beauty away from the crowds. With limited departures available, the Skagway Waterfall & Wildlife Tour fills up quickly—secure your spot today!
