Misty Fjords Flightseeing

Great excursion!
July 28, 2021
This was a great excursion. Jim picked us up from the ship and was very friendly. He took us to the downtown area after the trip and was very helpful letting us know what to do. The actual flight was awesome! The pilot (also named Jim) gave very interesting running commentary while in flight. I would do this excursion again if ever in the area.

My husband and I went on the Misty Fjords Flightseeing tour in August. I was a little bit nervous to go on the small plane since I'm prone to motion sickness. However I had nothing to worry about. The weather was perfect the day of our tour, the pilot assured me I'd be fine and he was right. The flight was so smooth and the scenery breathtaking that I immediately forgot all my worries. Taking off and landing on the water was such a cool experience. This was definitely one of the highlights of our Alaskan vacation!

We really enjoyed our flight through the Misty Fjords. It was a beautiful day. Sunny with little wind. The flight allowed us to see things we would have never seen otherwise. The view were spectacular. Timing was great. We stopped on the water for a small break after an hour of being in the air and that was a great break. Then we continued for another hour of beautiful sights. Our pilot was terrific!

highlight of the trip
October 02, 2019
The Misty Fjords sightseeing trip was the absolute best thing I did while cruising with NCL. First off, Ketchikan is a beautiful town with some of the friendliest people I have ever met. We boarded the plane and within minutes we were airborne. The pilot, whose name I can't remember, was extremely knowledgeable and competent. He clearly loves his job. He flew us over and through the beautiful fjords and pointed out many areas of interest. At one point we saw a group of mountain goats. Slowly approaching them was a huge bear, clearly looking for a snack. We landed in a beautiful lake and disembarked onto one of the plane's pontoons. It was incredibly beautiful, and a once in a lifetime experience. After we returned to the port, the shuttle buses returned us to the downtown area, leaving plenty of time to explore this amazing little town. I highly recommend this trip!

My daughter and I took the Misty Fiords Flightseeing Tour in August. I'm a private pilot so I am always paying attention to what the pilot is doing and how it is being done. Ken was our pilot. He was very professional, friendly and gave us lots of history and information on the area. Everyone on the flight felt very secure with Ken. Landing on the lake was a special treat for us. We both highly recommend this tour.

Generous glimpse into a glorious landscape
January 23, 2019
Since I was on a cruise, my chance to see narrow fjords and mountainside views was limited, so this flight was worth every penny. The landscape was magnificent and everyone had a great view. Pilot's narration was helpful and we put down by a small island in the lake so we not only stood on pontoons, but could get out and walk, surrounded by water, listening to loons calling with mountains all around. If you wear waterproof hiking boots you can walk the whole area safely and even peer into the clear water from up close, wading in a few inches. On the way back we switched seats so everyone had a slightly different view. Awe-inspiring beauty and unlike anything else I saw on my Alaska cruise!

This was our first experience in a float plane. The pilot was experienced and the plane felt safe. Getting to see the scenery and marine wildlife at low altitude was spectacular. Everyone had a window seat. The only drawbacks were the old sound system did not allow us to understand what the pilot was saying most of the time, and mild motion sickness came easily. But we recommend this trip for those who want a unique view of the fjords. The highlight was landing in a fjord and enjoying the peaceful silence from our perch on the plane's pontoons.

The excursion was at 7.30.Pretty easy to locate the office.we waited for another 10/15 min. we were taken to the actual plane location through a Van. We were a party of 9 and we all could fit in the van plus 3 additional people. The drive was few mins. After we were out of van we met our float plane pilot. He was a very nice guy. We were told to keep any heavy backpacks ta the office since the float plane has minimum space. We just took our camera and binoculars and hopped into the plane. The sitting arrangement is decide by the pilot based on weight of each person. The scenery was amazing!! the total flight time must be around 1 hr. after 30 min of fly time we landed on water where they have build a wooden platform for tourist to enjoy yhe fjords and scenery surrounding it. We must have spent 15/20 min there.we saw 3/4 seals resting on the nearby rocks.

Our grandson flew in the co-pilot's seat and thoroughly enjoyed the trip, although his headset had some problems and it was difficult to listen to the pilot. They didn't see a lot of wildlife but he thought the scenery was awesome. They did land during the trip and each passenger got out of the plane on a pontoon for a photo.

Every aspect of this excursion was great. I have to totally agree with all of the positive comments in the previous reviews. Friendly, professional staff and pilot made the experience fun and worry-free (female, traveling solo, first flight like this - no problem). The scenery is spectacular, especially the aerial views of the waterfalls. The undisturbed quiet of the remote lake was a peaceful experience like no other. A great way to learn about explore this part of Alaska!

Misty Fjords Flightseeing Review
August 07, 2017
We used Shore Excursions because the price was better than the Princess Cruise offering and are so glad we did. We were very pleased from our booking experience to the actual flight. We were disappointed when we got scheduled for a later flight, but when we told you we were with other family members you were able put us all together on the earlier flight making it comfortable to get back to the ship on time. Everyone from the van driver to the office staff was delightful. Our pilot, Fred, was friendly and attended to every detail necessary to provide us with a safe, informative and enjoyable experience. We had beautiful flying weather and were able to see amazing views. When we landed on the water in the fjord, he took some group photos for us. He was constantly on the lookout for wildlife and even double-backed when he saw some mountain goats. We were a group of 6 ranging in age from 10 to 77 and everyone had a great time.

My wife and I, along with three others boarded a single engine pontoon type plane, and took off from the harbor. Our pilot was very personable, and would check with us regularly to make sure everyone was OK. One passenger had a bout of motion sickness, but that did not detract from a lovely experience. WE saw great scenery, made a stop on one of the fjiord, to get out and stretch our legs (10 minutes). Our pilot took pictures for us, so we didn't need selfies. We boarded the aircraft again, took off and flew back to the harbor. Nice experience.

The floatplane excursion was awesome! Our pilot, Kevin, was excellent. He's been flying in Alaska for 30+ years and loves what he does. We met our pilot, were given our seats on the aircraft - I got to sit in the co-pilots seat- given our safety brief and we were off. The takeoff was so smooth and unlike any conventional plane I've been on. Once in the air the scenery just kept getting more and more beautiful. We had perfect weather - bright blue skies with no wind. The Misty Fjords weren't misty but were so amazing! We saw waterfalls hundreds of feet tall, mountains dropping into the sea and plenty of snow capped mountains. We landed on a remote lake somewhere in the Misty Fjords and the sound of nothing but waterfalls was unreal. The beauty of this lake was remarkable. We were able to get out onto the floats to snap some pictures. If I ever return to Alaska, I will definitely do this excursion again! I highly recommend it!

We had a beautiful week of weather cruising Alaska and our stop in Ketchikan was yet another spectacular day. The flight was so breathtaking. Even on a sunny day the Misty Fjords remain misty. Kevin pointed out several interesting features and found some wildlife too, (seals basking in the sun). We shared our Beaver airplane with two couples who spoke Spanish. Kevin translated for them also. Returning we were were welcomed back by Gus the black Lab special for us as we were missing our black lab back at home. Hubby was so pleased he purchased a tee shirt!

Awesome views and a great local pilot
July 15, 2013
Our pilot Fred was a true pro. We had hoped for an unforgettable experience and he delivered! We had a super smooth lake landing and takeoff as well. The views and photo ops were outstanding. The vendor is very local to the pier and drives you to and from the plane. Great tour for anyone. Very accommodating for people with mobility issues. Best excursion in Ketchikan.

Float plane experience itself is a must let alone the best way to see the incredible sights of the Misty Fjords - 1 of only 4 fjords in the world!!! We were fortunate to have a clear day with perfect viewing of mountain lakes, waterfalls, & mountain goats on top of snow covered peaks. Landing on the river allowed us to see if from all perspectives. Truly a once in a lifetime experience. Excellent pilot (thanks Fred!) and tour was well organized & on time.

Me and my girlfriend booked this trip prior to our cruise and we couldn't have been more happy. It turned out to be a great excursion. I have never been in a seaplane before and was a little worried when I saw the plane but it couldn't have been smoother or a better experience. Our pilot (I forget his name) was great and very informative. It takes a little while to actually get to the Fjords but when you do the views are breathtaking. We stopped and landed in one the Fjords and walked around a little and took some pictures. I highly recommend.

It was a very enlightening flight. A lot of photo ops, and we even got to land and sit on the skids! Pilot was a big Coldplay fan, which he played through the headsets for us to ""enjoy"". Very knowledgeable!

This trip is a little pricey for a pretty short excursion but I still reccommend it if you want to see the real Alaska. For miles in every direction there is mtns. covered with snow and lakes . Landing on one of them was pretty awesome. We even saw herds of the mtn. goats on top of a few mtns. no bears though. Great experience overall!

This was a first for us. The experience couldn't have been better...even the weather was perfect, overcast and misty! The music was a plus and suited to all ages, accentuating the vistas perfectly. The pictures we have turned out great...able to relive again and again.

June 14, 2012
I love to fly. I, also, love photography. This flight afforded both to a very high degree. Taking off and landing were especially fun. We were able to see much of the surrounding landscape right outside the window of the plane. We landed in a small, secluded lake with beautiful scenery that you have to see (and photograph) to believe. An adventure of a lifetime.

Fabulous Aerial Views
August 20, 2011
This was a thrilling experience in a floatplane that provided us with spectacular aerial views over the Tongass National Forest and Misty Fjords National Monument. The pilot was terrific and gave us a beautiful view of the peaks and valleys in the Fjord. He spotted a Bear along the shore of one of the lakes and made two passes to allow everyone on the plane an opportunity to spot this rare site. We landed on one of the lakes deep in the Fjord and had several minutes to walk out onto the pontoons and view the landscape and listen to the quiet of nature. The was an experience that you should not miss and a unique and fun adventure. We would recommend this highly.

This Excursion was one the best we have done while on the cruise. The Fjords were magnificent and the lake in which the float plane landed was amazing. It was the most peaceful place in the world. It is a tour that can be done once in life time as the cost is steep, but definitely a must do.

A flight back in time
July 19, 2011
The ground staff and our pilot were very professional and friendly. The 1955 De Haviland Beaver float plane was beautifully maintained. The trip into the Misty Fjords was like flying back in time to what the area must have looked like thousands of years ago before western exploration. Our pilot was very knowledgable and put us down on a mountain lake where we saw signs of brown bears. We didn't want the excursion to end.
