This seaplane ride in Sitka was hands-down one of the highlights of our Alaska trip! From the moment we took off from the water, the views were absolutely amazing. Snow-capped mountains, deep blue lakes, untouched wilderness, the scenery was truly stunning. Our pilot, Jackson, was great. Friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel safe and relaxed the entire time. He pointed out some landmarks and wildlife along the way. He even took us out over the water to see a whale and her calf he spotted earlier that morning. This was such a unique way to experience the raw beauty of Alaska. Awesome in every way. We wouldn't have missed it for anything!

An experience you Cherish, Birdseye Views of Alaska and it’s Beauty.

George_P, June 2026

Just Wow, experiencing the Beauty of Alaska from the air is a memory you won’t forget. Jackson was a great pilot and tour guide. He puts safety and providing a wonderful Sitka experience first. A Sitka Native, he was a wealth of knowledge of Sitka history and culture. His Communication was excellent from booking and throughout the experience. He was able to get us in the air early and gave us a wonderful birdseye view of the snow covered mountains, glacier lakes, mountain goats, and even took us over the sound to view some Grey whales. His Cessna Skywagon aircraft was in excellent condition and you can see he takes pride in the maintenance and presentation of his Aircraft. It only seats 3 passengers so larger groups will have to be split. From takeoff to landing, this was by far the best thing we did during our cruise to Alaska. Thank you Jackson McGraw for being such a great host and representing Sitka so well.

One of the best experiences in my 10 trips to Alaska

Plane is adjacent to the cruise terminal, very easy to get to the meeting point. Had a great flight seeing the volcano Mt Edgecomb up close, along with a second crater. Beautiful scenery all along the way, some waterfalls, great overview of the sound. Jackson gave us great information along the way, very smooth flight.

Floatplane fun

Amazing Experience!

Jake_H, Sept 2025

Absolutely amazing! This was our first excursion of of the boat and it made it difficult for any of the others to match up! Our pilot, Jackson rocked, pointed out many landmarks and even circled around a peak so we could see mountain goats that we had missed the first time. Highly recommended!

We throughly enjoyed our...

We throughly enjoyed our flight with Jackson. He did a fantastic job of landing near a bear for a photo opp. He also located mountain goats. It was a great tour.

Get amazing views from the sky

Beverly_S, July 2025

This personal sea plane tour is worth taking. We really enjoyed our tour with Jackson. We got to see whales and a brown bear along with showing us breathtaking Sitka view from the ski. Would highly recommend this tour.

Unforgettable Seaplane Adventure in Sitka!

Response from Host, July 2025

Thank you for the kind words Darin! It was a pleasure to show you Sitka by air!

Most Amazing Excursion!

Robert_W, July 2025

This was by far the most amazing excursion Ive ever been on. Jackson was a great communicator and took us to see things that were indescribable. The flight was very smooth which i didnt expect. We saw whales, sheep and even a bear! The scenery was like nothing ive ever seen.

Best Sitka Experience!

Ron_Y, May 2025

This was our favorite activity that we did in Sitka! Jackson was our pilot and made it really special for us as it was our first time flying in a float plane. The close views of the snow covered mountains, and the city below were breathtaking! Highly recommend!!
