Misty Fjords Flightseeing 1.5hr -includes 20 minute water landing

Experience a 1.5-hour Misty Fjords flightseeing tour with Seawind Aviation aboard our classic DeHavilland Otter or Beaver seaplanes. Just a short flight from Ketchikan, you’ll soar above towering 3,000-foot granite walls, deep fjords carved by ancient glaciers, misty peaks, waterfalls, and lush forested slopes. We’ll touch down on a remote mountain lake or calm saltwater inlet for a 20-minute stop, giving you the chance to step out onto the floats and take in the stillness of this pristine wilderness up close. After returning to Ketchikan, we’ll bring you back to the downtown cruise ship docks in plenty of time to board.

Private Boat Tour of Misty Fjords from Ketchikan

This is a private, custom boat tour led by a lifelong Ketchikan resident who has spent decades boating in Misty Fjords. The tour typically includes New Eddystone Rock and numerous sites in Rudyerd Bay. Rudyerd Bay is a stunning fjord known for its massive granite cliffs and breathtaking waterfalls that drop thousands of feet. The tour also covers the history of Misty Fjords. We often see ancient pictographs and wildlife such as bears, birds, seals, Humpback Whales, and Orcas. As mentioned above, this is a custom tour. If your group wants to spend more time viewing something (like a pod of Killer Whales), we can do that. Your guide will keep you updated on any adjustments to the tour and its timing. The tour narrative will cover key highlights but will be more conversational in style. We aim to avoid overwhelming passengers with a constant stream of information. That said, guests are encouraged to ask as many questions as they like. You will find the Explorer to be very comfortable

A great adventure

Van picked us up on time next to visitor center. At the plane we were given safety instructions. The pilot, Sean, was wonderful. Very experienced, skilled, and knowledgable about the entire area. He explained everything we saw in this amazing area. After landing, he took photos of each of us with the plane. We would recommend this advrnture.

Breathtaking

Wow! I was really looking forward to this excursion and it DID NOT DISAPPOINT! It was amazing. I took some breathtaking photos that will never do it justice. 10/10

Not 2 hours for the flight but the views were majestic!

The flight alone was majestic! The staff was all very friendly. My complaint was that the ad for the trip lists a 2 hour duration but the flight itself is only 1 hour. The 2 hours includes transfer to and from the pickup point by the tourist center.

Float plane and panoramic glacier views - extrordinary experience

Float plane and glacier views, what an amazing experience! Getting a taste of what life is like for the locals by flying on one of the planes that is the local postal service. You get to see so much more from the air, it was beautiful.
