Itinerary

  • Misty Fjords National Monument

    Alaska's Inside Passage or Southeast Alaska is home to some of the most breathtaking scenery on earth. One of its jewels is the majestic Misty Fjords National Monument. Completely road-less and consisting of 2.3 million acres, an area larger than Yellowstone, makes a seaplane tour the only way to comfortably experience the many different levels within the deep, narrow fjords. More dramatic than the Grand Canyon, the fjords are steep walled inlets of the sea. Created by glacial gouging long ago, snow capped, sheer granite cliffs rise dramatically 3,500 out of the sea, ribbonned with waterfalls plummeting sensationally thousands of feet. Nestled within the steep walled canyons, lie pristine bowl-shaped alpine lakes suspended at many different elevations above sea level. Fed by more than 150 inches of misty rain annually, the lush rain forest, made of giant stands of spruce, hemlock and cedar, cling to the rugged rising terrain. Wildlife abounds in the area, with mountain goats and harbor seals being the most frequently sighted animals. Our most popular tour lasts 2 hours and takes you across Revilliagegedo Island over to the Alaskan mainland where the fjords are located, and into the heart of the monument. Headsets with voice communication are provided to passengers so you can chat in flight and ask questions as we fly. For the highlight of the tour, we will land on an alpine lake or on a calm bay at sea level and let passengers get off of the floatplane for a quiet excursion. Relax, stretch your legs and take some photos as you drink in the silence of the vast wilderness. Flying within the Misty Fjords is truly an emotional experience you’ll never forget!!

Additional Water Landing with the Views of the Fjords and Alaska from the air - Unbelievable experience!

Published on Nov, 2024

5 Star - The office helped with every question we had before arrival. Our Pilot was Adam. It was a very comfortable and relaxing flight. He provided an excellent trip with information of the area for our family flying thru the Misty Fjords. The additional water landing was one of the best experiences of the tour. He took us to an incredible location for the water landing and had an incredible take off with the water ending in a massive waterfall! What an experience this was. We saw mountain goats and the views of the Fjords were breathtaking. We wanted to see as much of Alaska as we could, and this was an amazing way to do just that. Thank you for the lifetime of memories this adventure provided for our family.

AMAZING Misty Fjords Seaplane Tour By Island Wings Air Service!

Published on Oct, 2024

My husband and I planned an Alaskan cruise to celebrate our 30th anniversary and my husband did the research for our excursions. I am a nervous flyer and I was very reluctant to agree to a flight in a floatplane through the Misty Fjords. Am I ever glad I agreed to it! Adam was an excellent pilot and his calm demeanor and educational commentary were just what I needed to appreciate the grandeur of what we got to see. The weather was picture perfect, too, which added to our enjoyment. I highly recommend this tour and encourage anyone who might be hesitant, like me, to go for it!

Incredible trip! A must do!

Published on Sep, 2024

Our tour was incredible! A highlight of our trip for sure!! This is a must do on your Alaska trip! Our pilot Adam was great! He was so informative and kind! He has a good eye for bear! He spotted 3!

Ketchikan Highlight

Published on Sep, 2024

Michelle was our pilot and her decades of flying this area and passion for both Alaska and her aviation service are apparent in the knowledge she shared with us.

Low clouds were no issue

Published on Sep, 2024

We had bad weather for the fjord but this team had a backup plan that still let us still see some amazing sights and wildlife. Still worth every penny.
