 Take
the ultimate tour by boat and plane through Misty Fjords
National Monument, one of the most majestic creations
on earth! Cruise in luxury aboard a high-speed catamaran
into the heart of the Monument, then enjoy an incredible
tour 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 Native pictograph, and 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 naturalist will
provide in-depth commentary on the natural history of
the area as you
enjoy an assortment
of food and beverages. Watch for bears, mountain goats,
timber wolves, seals, sea lions, and humpback and killer
whales from the warm comfort of enclosed cabins or with
the mist on your face on the outside deck. At the far
reaches of Rudyerd Bay is a floating dock from which
you’ll
transfer to an authentic Alaska seaplane.
From the air,
you can truly appreciate the magnitude and majesty
of Rudyerd Bay, the crown jewel of this two
million
acre monument. Soar over pristine wilderness and enjoy
the unspoiled forest, lakes and muskeg bogs. Keep a
sharp eye out for more bears and whales. Upon your return
you’ll
see a wide, panoramic view of the city of Ketchikan before
making a safe water landing. INCLUDES: Narrated
cruise and flight, snacks aboard the boat and transfers.
