Ketchikan Transportation

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).

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

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.
