Itinerario
El pasaje interior de Alaska o el sureste de Alaska es el hogar de algunos de los paisajes más impresionantes de la tierra. Una de sus joyas es el majestuoso Monumento Nacional Misty Fjords. Completamente sin carreteras y con 2.3 millones de acres, un área más grande que Yellowstone, hace que un recorrido en hidroavión sea la única forma de experimentar cómodamente los diferentes niveles dentro de los fiordos estrechos y profundos. Más dramático que el Gran Cañón, los fiordos son empinadas ensenadas amuralladas del mar. Creada por la piratería glacial hace mucho tiempo, nevadas, escarpados acantilados de granito se elevan dramáticamente a 3.500 del mar, cubiertos de cascadas que caen sensacionalmente miles de pies. Acurrucados dentro de los cañones empinados de paredes, se encuentran prístinos lagos alpinos en forma de tazón suspendidos en muchas elevaciones diferentes sobre el nivel del mar. Alimentada por más de 150 pulgadas de lluvia brumosa cada año, la exuberante selva tropical, formada por gigantescos soportes de abeto, cicuta y cedro, se adhiere al accidentado terreno en alza. La vida silvestre abunda en la zona, siendo las cabras montesas y focas de puerto los animales más avistados. Nuestro recorrido más popular dura 2 horas y lo lleva a través de la isla Revilliagegedo hacia el continente de Alaska, donde se encuentran los fiordos, y al corazón del monumento. Se proporcionan auriculares con comunicación de voz a los pasajeros para que pueda conversar en el vuelo y hacer preguntas mientras volamos. Para lo más destacado del recorrido, aterrizaremos en un lago alpino o en una bahía tranquila al nivel del mar y dejaremos que los pasajeros se bajen del hidroavión para una excursión tranquila. Relájese, estire sus piernas y tome algunas fotos mientras bebe en el silencio del vasto desierto. ¡Volar dentro de los Fiordos Misty es una experiencia emocional que nunca olvidarás!

We took a floatplane out of Ketchikan, Alaska, today to see the fjords and wilderness of Tongass National Forest and Misty Fjords National Monument. It was a fun way to experience a part of Alaska that’s hard to reach any other way with no roads and few boats because so remote. The scenery was incredible—steep cliffs, quiet waterways, and forests that seemed to go on forever. I’ve been fortunate to see the fjords in Norway, and these were every bit as impressive. We learned that just the Misty Fjords National Monument covers about 2.3 million acres—roughly 3,600 square miles of protected wilderness. Seeing even a small portion of it from a floatplane made the scale of the place hard to comprehend.
We had the most amazing trip and cannot recommend this company highly enough. Adam was knowledgeable and we felt safe in his experienced hands. The scenery was breathtaking and landing on the lake to spend sometime taking in the utter beauty was a chance in a lifetime. Today we made memories never to forget. Book you will not be disappointed.
Great day. Adam, our pilot was courteous, friendly and informative. Great experience. Highly recommend
Adam and Island Wings were great! Adam our pilot explained in detail the sites we were seeing. Landed on a lake and we were able to get out on shore and feel the wilderness. Thanks for filling my bucket list!
This is truly a bucket list experience that I would recommend to everyone! We happened to be in Ketchikan on a cruise on a gorgeous sunny day and were able to book this on the pier. Michelle is a fabulous pilot and guide. It was an experience I will never forget! It was definitely the highlight of my two weeks in Alaska!
Our floatplane tour with Island Wings Air was the highlight of our Alaska vacation. Michelle, the owner and pilot, has more than 40 years of flying experience, and it was obvious from the moment we took off. Her flying skills were evident as she expertly navigated through the breathtaking fjords and mountain valleys surrounding Ketchikan. Watching her land the floatplane on a remote alpine lake was nothing short of amazing. The scenery was stunning. Towering mountains, waterfalls, snow-covered peaks, and pristine wilderness that you simply can’t experience any other way. Being able to step out onto the shore of a secluded mountain lake felt like something out of a postcard. What made the tour even better was Michelle herself. She was warm, engaging, and very knowledgeable. She shared interesting information throughout the flight and was wonderful with our children, making them feel comfortable, included, and excited about the adventure. This wasn’t just a sightseeing tour. It created some of our favorite memories from Alaska. If you’re visiting Ketchikan and can only choose one excursion, make it Island Wings. We would recommend Michelle and her team without hesitation and would do it again in a heartbeat.
This was a memorable trip. Highly recommend, even if you're afraid of small planes like me. You'll see extraordinary sights. Michele, our pilot, was knowledgeable and made the tour enjoyable.
This is a once in a lifetime experience and worth every penny! It exceeded our expectations. Thank you, Michelle and crew!
Wonderful experience. Adam our pilot was really nice, gave great commentary through out our flight via noise cancelling headphones. Landed at a beautiful lake in the middle of Misty fjords National monument park to take some beautiful photos and chat with the other passengers. Could not fault anything about the very enjoyable experience 🥰
This was my 4th time flying with Michelle of Island Wings. I can not say enough good things about the experiences I've had flying with her! Today was cloudy and because of safety reasons, we were given the option of canceling and getting a refund or flying to Prince of Wales Island instead . Of course I chose to fly anyway and I was not disappointed at all. Michelle is such a wonderful and professional pilot but a really good person as well! We ended up seeing a whale, stellar sea lions, dolphins and an eagle. We landed on Salmon Lake that had a forest service cabin that we could check out and Michelle told stories of her many times camping there. I was with my special needs son and Michelle was so kind and helpful getting him in and out of the plane!! Just another magical day with Island Wings.
