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. Norwegian Cruise Line guests who are docked at Ward Cove (20 min outside Ketchikan) will be dropped at the free shuttle stop for easy transport back to their ship.

From: $0.00

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for kids to go on the Misty Fjords tour?

A: There’s no strict age limit, but kids should be at least 3 years old to enjoy the experience and wear headsets properly. Just make sure they can handle the noise of the plane and stay seated for the duration of the flight. It’s a fantastic trip for families, just keep an eye on younger ones during the water landing!

Q: What happens if the weather is bad on the day of the tour?

A: If the weather's not favorable for the flight, Seawind Aviation will usually notify you and help reschedule. They prioritize safety, so if it looks questionable, they'll make the call. It’s good to have some flexibility in your plans just in case!

Q: How do you recommend dressing for the Misty Fjords flight?

A: Layering is key! It can get chilly up in the air, so I'd wear a light jacket on top of a t-shirt. Closed-toe shoes are a must since you'll be stepping on the floats. And don’t forget sunglasses to block the glare off the water!

Thinking of gifting the Misty Fjords Tour! Anyone done it?

I’m planning to give my brother the Misty Fjords tour for his birthday! He loves nature and flying, so I think this will be perfect. I read that they guarantee a window seat, which is awesome since it’s such a scenic trip. Has anyone done this? Any tips or experiences to share?

Misty Fjords tour - is it as amazing as it sounds?

I’m seriously considering booking the Misty Fjords flight for my family trip next month. I’ve seen pictures, and it looks stunning! But I’m a bit worried about the motion sickness since some of my kids get car sick. Would it be rough flying in the seaplane? Anyone have any insights?
