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).
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.
