Flightseeing tour
Awesome tour! Pilot was very good - smooth landing and taking off. You can hear the pilot explaining the features on the flight through headsets. Plus - we landed on Nooya Lake and pictures on the pontoons! Bucket list trip! Definitely worth the money!

Land and take-off on the lake.
Unbelievable scenery on a perfect day!! Saw beautiful lakes, wildlife, and mountain peaks. Landing and taking off on the lake was a wonderful experience. Enjoyed my time taking pictures and soaking in the sun on the lake. This is something to do at least once in a lifetime while vacationing in Alaska. This excursion was expensive, but worth it.

Breathtaking views, lake...
Breathtaking views, lake landing stop was a nice benefit, got close enough to some of the ridges you could almost touch them. Everyone was very friendly. Be warned seats are not for comfort but even at 6’6’ I was able to mostly fit.

Did he just land ON the lake??? WOW!
We loved our experience in Misty Fjords with the bush plane tour. Our pilot Steve was very knowledgeable. Lesley, the owner, was so communicative and helpful! Her crew picked us up and brought us to the sight. We lost our minds when Steve landed in the water in the middle of Big Goat Lake. We saw some incredible sights. Worth the money, and for someone who flies commercial even somewhat regularly, not scary. You’re under the clouds so it’s a different kind of air pressure. Plane holds 10 passengers.

Once in a Lifetime Experience
This is a beautiful quiet view of The Misty Fiords which are absolutely beautiful. There is no other way to see it with such tranquility and amazing views. I would do it again when I visit Alaska.

Gorgeous scenery!
Another spectacular tour of the Misty Fjords in Ketchikan. The pilot was skilled, informative about the landscape and native people. My daughter and I took the Misty Fjords and Wilderness tour by boat the day before and it was really awesome to see it from both perspectives, sea and by air! Gorgeous scenery!

Unreliable , poor customer service
Terrible customer service . Leslie is rude . They booked me on a different time slot and I found out about it the day of . While talking to other people, it was obvious that they have a reputation for doing this . Do not book with these people . They are unreliable and will ruin your sightseeing schedule in Ketchikan
