Getting Around
Air Taxis & Charters
The Misty Fjords fleet is extremely well-maintained and boasts comfortable seats and panoramic view windows. Depending on the number of people in your flightseeing group, you’ll fly in the De Havilland Otter (seats 10, the “cutting edge” in seaplanes), the De Havilland Beaver (seats 6, comfortable and reliable “workhorse”), or a Cessna 135 (seats 2 – 3, the “sports car” of seaplanes).
Fly through dramatically beautiful landscapes in a DeHavilland floatplane for an iconic Alaskan experience. In this 2‑hour adventure, you’ll visit Misty Fjords National Monument, where glaciers carved out the land 17,000 years ago. See an untouched world of deep fjords, lush green forest and sparkling lakes. Experience a water landing and venture out onto the floats to take in the beauty – and peacefulness – of remote Alaska.
Scheduled Airlines
Island Wings Air Service takes passengers flightseeing, bear viewing, on guided hikes, self-guided hikes, to forest service cabins, fly-out fishing trips and more.
Motorcoach & Bus
There’s lot of coverage to popular destinations, including Ward Cove, Totem Bight, and Saxman Park. Fares are cheap (just $1) for bus service, and two free shuttles run from May to Sept between the cruise ship docks and key downtown locations
Car Rental
Even if you’re just visiting the core of downtown Ketchikan, it would take you a few days to walk and see all the points of interest. By renting a car, you could double those sites.
