    Pickup details

    We will pick you up 30 minutes prior to the flight time on the Ketchikan pier on Berth 2 north side of the Ketchikan Visitor Center downtown. Our white van will pull up beside the Visitor Center located at berth 2. "Seawind Aviation" is on all sides of the van, and very bright. If your ship is docked at the Ward Cove Mill, we do pick up there directly if your flight is at 8am or 8:30am. (The pickup is 45 minutes prior as this port is 20 minutes from town). Otherwise, you'll want to come in on a bus to downtown and we will meet you at the Visitors Center. Very important: Once you arrive in Ketchikan, you'll want to turn your cell phone on, so we are able to communicate with you. It is important to connect by phone as flight times can change due to weather. We also have a direct phone line inside the Visitor Center you can reach us on if you do not have a cell phone. Thank you and we look forward to seeing you soon! Seawind Aviation

    The whole trip was great from start to finish. Booking was last minute. Leslie called within minutes and gave all the directions for pick up. The driver was right on time. Float plane ride was beautiful. What really made the trip was our guide Drew. Very knowledgeable, and a great sense of humor. Thanks Drew!

    Bear tour

    Amber_C, Sep 2025
    Highly recommend. Plane was smooth. Guide was wonderful and knowledgeable. We did see multiple bears and a cub.

    Highly recommend!

    Great experience, guides very knowledgeable. Saw bears and cubs up close. Pilots were experts. Be sure to go for the longer tour as you will not want to leave.

    Took a 15-20 minute...

    Stephen_M, Aug 2025
    Took a 15-20 minute seaplane to an island then walked down a trail to the river where all the salmon were jumping and then the bears showed up. Saw 4 bears including a mom and cub who walked ahead of us on the trail back to the plane. Our guide, Drew, was excellent.

    Dream come true

    It was a dream come true. Float plane was worth the cost of the trip but then we saw the bears interacting and one caught and ate a fish we were overjoyed.

    This experience was worth...

    This experience was worth every penny! The company was welcoming and the pilots and tour guide were fun, informative, and professional.
