It was an incredible trip with magnificent scenery. Our pilot was informative, funny and a super nice person. It was a windy day so it was a bit bumpy at times. The trip was well worth the money.

Not much to say other than "wow"!! We missed our port in Juneau, so had to do a pick of rearranging in Ketchikan to be able to see more during extended port times there. Shona was GREAT to work with in rescheduling our time (VERY thankful as it allowed us to also do a whale watching trip). Our pilot Adam was the BEST!! He was very knowledgeable, and clearly very passionate about what he does. After doing a bit of flightseeing inside the Misty Fjords Monument, we landed on a small lake that was the most peaceful place we have ever been....once in a lifetime opportunity. We returned to the port after a bit more flightseeing...it was a top 3 experience ever!!

This was an awesome experience. Really the highlight of our trip. Adam was a great pilot and was super friendly and knowledgeable. It is something you cannot make miss if you are in Ketchikan.

My husband and I booked a last minute seaplane tour while in Ketchikan for a cruise. Michelle, the owner was our pilot, and it was the highlight of our whole trip. We loved every second. Views are gorgeous, and she is a fantastic pilot and tour guide.

The Misty Fjords Seaplane tour is a "must do" in Ketchikan. Michelle Masden the pilot is very knowledgeable and with many years of experience flying. I give Misty Fjords Tour "5 stars".

Wow! Wow! Wow! Our floatplane experience with Island Wings was incredibly awesome! The weather was not great so Adam and Michelle scouted the best locations to visit. Adam did a great job of navigating the area and giving us why best view from above of the scenery. He is a wealth of knowledge of the history of the area. The whole experience was a once in a lifetime opportunity. We would highly recommend it.

We booked this excursion last minute and are so glad we did! Our pilot was Wiley and he handled everything perfectly. After we took off he began to tell us the history of everything we passed over. The scenery was breathtaking! Highly recommend this experience and this company!
