Fly through the Misty Fjords National Monument on a once-in-a-lifetime floatplane adventure.

Wondering what to do in Ketchikan? We’ll fly you up and over the most breathtaking Alaska scenery, you may ever see. During your 60-minute flight, you’ll have an eagle’s eye view of Misty Fjords National Monument, a land of awesome natural beauty and rugged grandeur that’s best seen by air.

What it’s really like to see the Misty Fjords by air.

Here’s how your Misty Fjords floatplane tour will look and feel. Imagine yourself in a flawlessly maintained DeHavilland Beaver or Otter. A highly trained, experienced bush pilot is at the controls. You are on top of the world, with the Misty Fjords National Monument sparkling below. This ice-rimmed wilderness was slowly carved out by massive glaciers tens of thousands of years ago. You’ll see cascading waterfalls, jewel-like lakes, and abundant wildlife. Lock your eyes on sheer walls of granite plunging over 3,000 feet into the fjords, lush forests of spruce, hemlock and cedar clinging to snowcapped peaks.

All in all, flightseeing over this pristine wilderness may be the highlight of your trip.

Please Note: The weather is always part of your flight plan. You may see New Eddystone Rock and Big Goat Lake to the South or Neets Bay and Bell Island Hot Springs to the North, depending on how the weather alters your route. We are the first air carrier in Alaska to have a Safety Management System by the FAA; as you might expect, watching out for your safety is a high priority for us. We are recognized for our distinguished safety and maintenance record, something we would like to keep and continue to innovate in Southeast Alaska.

Passenger names and weights are required by the FAA for weight and balance calculations and flight manifesting. To ensure aircraft weight and balance is within operating parameters, guests weighing 250 lbs. (clothed weight) or more may be required to pay an additional surcharge of $168 over the published fare direct to the tour operator. A no-bag policy applies; however, if you have medical needs that require a carry-on bag, please see the Shore Excursion office on board. All other bags brought to our terminal will be stored until you return from your flight.
