Itinerary
Soar above the largest temperate rainforest in the world at 17 million acres, with endless valleys, lakes, and rugged wilderness stretching in every direction.
Fly deep into “The Yosemite of the North,” where sheer granite walls rise 3,000 feet, waterfalls spill from hanging valleys, and glacially carved fjords create one of Alaska’s most dramatic landscapes.
A striking volcanic spire rising straight out of Behm Canal, one of the most iconic landmarks in the monument.
Depart and return from our historic waterfront base, where your floatplane takes off directly from Tongass Narrows.
Take in sweeping aerial views of remote lakes, steep ridgelines, and untouched rainforest across this vast island within the Tongass.

5Fantastic view of the Fiords
Absolutely amazing experience seeing the misty fiords by air. Our pilot Maggie did a phenomenal job flying the sea plane as well as narrating the tour. There really is no way to see the grandeur of this national monument in the same way as by plane. Well worth the money to get the best views and experience. Highly recommend.
5Bet of the trip
Just magical. It's not inexpensive, but it is totally worth it. No better way than to see the beauty of nature.
1Cancelled at last moment due unsafe weather.
Cancelled by provider at last moment due to incremental weather. Was at site when cancelled. Recommend calling the day of to verify if a possibility of cancellation.
1Disappointed following same day cancellation
Extremely disappointed that the flight was cancelled just 5 mins before we were due to start the experience. Advised it was due to choppy waters. Will now wait for a week or two for the cost to be refunded. Unable to provide any feedback on the flight itself as we never got airborne.
5Cancelled due to weather safety first
They cancelled due to weather . So can’t really rate them - at least they did call us before we got there
5Incredible experience
If you would like to sit next to the pilot put it down in your notes when booking . However, that restricts your view slightly if you want to get some good photos .

About Ketchikan
Ketchikan, in the Alaska Panhandle, is a rainy fishing town of stilted boardwalks and totem poles, set among the forests and fjords of the Inside Passage.
Ketchikan clings to the shore of Revillagigedo Island in Southeast Alaska, squeezed between steep forested hills and the water of the Inside Passage. Houses and boardwalks stand on stilts above Ketchikan Creek, where Creek Street, a lane of old buildings on pilings, once formed the red-light district. The town calls itself the salmon capital of the world, and the creek fills with spawning salmon in late summer.
Top-ranked sights in Ketchikan: Tongass National Forest, Creek Street, Saxman Native Village.
