Ketchikan...Flightseeing Misty Fjords

[oratheeexplorer]

Can anyone recommend a private tour company or a Princess tour for a flightseeing tour of Misty Fjords? We will be there Thursday of next week. Thanks for any info.....

I would highly recommend Southeast Aviation in Ketchikan.

I've read a lot of great reviews on Island Wings:

We are booked with them in Sept. They actually do a lake landing during the tour and let you get out and take some photos and spot wild life.

Most of the smaller independents include the mid-tour landing.

I just went with Island Wings two weeks ago. Our ship was very late getting in and she rearranged her whole day for us. It was wonderful! I highly recommend Island Wings.

I would second Island Wings. Flew with them in June and loved it. Michelle does a great job.

I flew with Island Wings last month. I chose Michele ultimately because of the mid-trip landing. Here's the view from that spot.

thanks for all the replies.......we are on a land tour right now and our flightseeing tour with Talkeetna Air Taxi got canceled due to cloud cover,etc. so are hoping to do a float plane of Misty Fjords in Ketchikan. I have called Michelle with Island Wings and I am awaiting a call back from her. In the meanttime I will check out Southeast Aviation just in case Michelle doesn't have an opening. Trying to do this this morning before we leave McKinley Lodge for Denali.

 

Thanks again!

We used Michelle with Island Tours for this exact trip in 2006 for our first AK cruise -- HIGHLY recommend her.

We did it many years ago and don't have the name of the company but it was a Princess shore ex. Don't miss it; it was wonderful, and we did a landing on a lake high up in the mountains with a huge waterfall. It was spectacular. joyous

We booked the princess flight tour at the last minute on the ship. Beautiful sunny day, breathtaking scenery as well as glacier lake landing. Island Wings was booked so we waited until last minute.

Hope you have a great time! We just got home and also had our Talkeetna Air trip grounded due to cover.
