KTN-155 Misty Fjords Wilderness Cruise
(2008)
A Family Friendly
Tour
Experience
Misty Fjords National Monument on our high-speed jet catamaran. A cruise
to the heart of the 3,570-square-mile Monument provides an opportunity
to view Misty Fjords from a dramatic perspective. A naturalist will
provide in-depth commentary on the natural history of the area as you
enjoy an assortment of complementary food service including a
continental breakfast in the morning and clam chowder and smoked salmon
throughout the rest of the day.
Bring your camera, as photo
opportunities of spectacular scenery and wildlife opportunities abound!
Watch for mountain goats at dizzying heights up the rocks or brown or
black bears on the shore. We'll take you near seal rocks, the summer
home for scores of seals. You'll see soaring bald eagles. Guillemots and
Marbled Murrelets dot the waters of the fjords, and other seabirds nest
in mossy niches on the cliffs. You'll be surrounded by cliffs towering
thousands of feet and view waterfalls cascading into emerald waters.
Your
cruise includes many points of interest; an active eagle's nest, a
mysterious Native pictograph, Punchbowl Cove with its columnar basalt
formations and the colorful Mossy Wall bird rookery. Enjoy the dramatic
landmark New Eddystone Rock, an ancient volcanic plug that juts up 237
feet from the water. Learn about Captain George Vancouver's exploratory
trip through the area in 1794 and how the rock was originally mistaken
for a tall ship.
A day cruise to Misty Fjords
National Monument is an experience you'll always remember.
