This seaplane tour from Ketchikan lasts about two and a half hours, including a two-hour flightseeing segment and time for pick-up and drop-off. The flight covers the Misty Fjords National Monument, a vast wilderness area larger than Yellowstone, featuring steep granite cliffs rising 3,500 feet above the sea and numerous waterfalls. The seaplane flies over Revillagigedo Island to the Alaskan mainland and into the heart of the fjords. The aircraft used is a six-passenger DeHavilland Beaver floatplane, well maintained and equipped with voice-activated, noise-cancelling headsets for every passenger. The pilot provides interactive narration during the flight, and all passengers have guaranteed window seats. The tour includes a landing on a freshwater alpine lake or a calm saltwater fjord, where passengers can disembark for about thirty minutes to walk around, take photos, and enjoy the quiet surroundings. Pick-up and drop-off are provided by Island Wings vans at the Ketchikan Visitors Bureau near Cruise Ship Berth 2. The operator holds a US Forest Service Special Use Permit that allows shore stops within Misty Fjords National Monument.
