About this tour

Explore Misty Fjords by private boat with a guide who has spent decades on these waters and calls Ketchikan home. This Ketchikan private boat tour brings you close to the dramatic scenery of Rudyerd Bay, where granite cliffs rise above the water and waterfalls plunge down the rock faces.

The custom-built Explorer typically visits New Eddystone Rock and several sites around Rudyerd Bay. Along the way, hear about the history of Misty Fjords and keep watch for ancient pictographs and wildlife, including bears, birds, seals, humpback whales, and orcas. The route and pace can adapt to your group; if a pod of whales appears, you can spend more time watching. Your guide shares the highlights in a relaxed, conversational style and welcomes questions.

Settle into the heated cabin, enjoy comfortable seating, and make use of onboard Wi-Fi, a private bathroom, soda, and bottled water. Pickup is arranged at a convenient location near your cruise ship or hotel.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 1 review. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Ketchikan
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.1.
