 Verified  Seawind 5++ My first seaplane experience and there are no words except WOW, and thanks Seawind. The scenery was breathtaking, the weather perfect, but the ground crew, the pilot and the plane made us feel comfortable, safe and valued... If we saw orcas, the pilot flew towards them. Bears, mountain goats, waterfalls and cruise ships all up close(&personal). Rolf is a top seaplane pilot and we can not wait to return and repeat this experience of a lifetime.

 Verified  Very nice experience We splurged and did this with our kids ages 9, 13 and 13. Leslie was great and offered a child discount which some of the others did not. Steve did an awesome job and we really appreciated the beauty of Alaska. I highly recommend this company.

 Verified  SeaWind Aviation will not let you down! Worth every penny. We had an incredible time on our flight through the Misty Fjords. We lucked out with a gorgeous sunny morning. I had no idea there are so many lakes! Waterfalls, rivers, everywhere you look the view is unbelievable. Absolutely beautiful. The take off and landing were so smooth we couldn’t tell if we’d landed on or left the water. The flight was smooth and comfortable. The noise canceling headsets with microphones were awesome and made it so easy to still interact with each other and the pilot during the flight. The lake landing was a treat to get out and wander nearby. We had a rough start realizing that the third party we had booked through hadn’t communicated with SeaWind and they didn’t have our reservation the morning of our flight! You can only imagine our panic! Leslie went above and beyond to find a way for us to get in a plane, even though they were fully booked for the day. She worked a miracle and we could not be more grateful! Don’t hesitate for a second to book a tour with SeaWind Aviation. They care about their customers, their prices are very competitive, the employees are friendly, welcoming, and put us right at ease. I can’t say enough good about our experience. We will definitely fly with them again. Thank you SeaWind for a marvelous time!

 Verified  Worth it! Amazing! Friendly staff and very accommodating. I was mid-cruise when I called to see availability. Knowing that I didn't have access to much communication being on a cruise they handled everything for me and when I got to my next port. I had an email confirmation waiting for me. Everyone was organized well and the flight was great. I was a bit scared but once we took off, all that fear was gone. Beautiful views all around and a very comfortable flight. The hour flew by, pun intended? Not intended? You decide.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  I met with Pia Larson of Fingerprint Marketing to discuss marketing for a preschool business I was considering purchasing in a new (to me) market, or an expansion of my existing preschool in a market where I am well established. Pia was great at explaining how her company would be able to benefit either situation I chose, even though both would have very different marketing needs. I love that Fingerprint Marketing really looks at your individual business and what it needs for a successful marketing plan. There is no one size fits all when it comes to building a brand and marketing it successfully. She helped me understand how important it is to optimize search engine results and provided me with some great information on gathering customer reviews. As I decide whether I will be creating a new brand from the ground up and breaking into a totally new market, or revamping and expanding my current preschool brand, I am confident that working with Fingerprint Marketing will help me achieve success either way. I’m excited to make a final decision and get started with Pia and her team as soon as possible!

 Verified  Loved it! Allow a few hours for this, but it’s so worth it! Made our trip to Alaska. Max our pilot was fantastic, pointing out spots on the way and looking for animals on the flight, the scenery was absolutely incredible. If you are considering this it’s definitely worth the money and you will not regret it! Highlight of our trip for sure! The playlist as we were flying was awesome too. Thank you!

 Verified  Floatplane Excursion What a wonderful experience we had on our floatplane excursion with Seawind Aviation. Steve went out of his way to make sure we had a safe and personalized experience. Instead of a taped narration Steve talked with us about where we were, the history, geography, wildlife and highlights of the area. The areas he took us to were breathtaking. Leslie met us at the doc promptly and with a warm smile, it was great getting a feel for the area from the perspective of a young mom. They made us feel so at home. This will be our first excursion we will book when we go there again. Best time ever!!!

 Verified  Highlight of our trip!!! We were a group of 12 and half of us did a bear tour and the other half did Misty Fjords and carb feast. Both groups agreed that the Seawind Aviation tours were highlight of our trip. From the moment of booking, customer service was impeccable... and we drove them crazy with last minute changes. They were able to accommodate all of our requests and communication was always timely. It was a pleasure working with them and we cannot recommend enough!!!
