During the 1-hour flight, the plane flies over Tongass National Forest, the world’s largest temperate rainforest covering 17 million acres, showing extensive valleys, lakes, and rugged terrain. The flight goes deep into Misty Fjords, where granite walls rise 3,000 feet and glaciers have shaped the fjords. Passengers also see a distinctive volcanic spire rising from Behm Canal and the remote landscapes around Revillagigedo Island and Orchard Lake. The tour includes narrated commentary and guarantees a window seat.
