The Misty Fjords National Monument landscape and the living things in it are a protected 2.3 million acres. The area has been managed by the U.S. Forest Service continuously since it became a wilderness area in 1978. Your pilot will call your attention to any spectacular Alaskan wildlife often seen in the monument and the Tongass National Forest. Sightings may include brown and black bears, mountain goats, bald eagles, orcas and humpback whales. By the time you begin the journey back to Ketchikan, you will have made memories to last a lifetime.
You’ll be able to learn all about the magnificent Misty Fjords through the live narration and conversation with your pilot. Every passenger is provided a voice activated headset that is designed for aviation and allows communication between you, the pilot, and others onboard. During the 1.5 hr flight, we will touch down on either a remote mountain lake or a calm saltwater inlet. When the weather permits, we have the flexibility to alter itineraries and cater to personal preferences. This ability allows the opportunity to view nearby whales, watch bears fish in the wild, celebrate a special occasion or simply spend as much time as possible in this unique landscape. We are often able to take the airplane to shore, giving you the opportunity to step out and enjoy the beauty, take priceless photos or simply breathe in the freshest, most fragrant air anywhere.

“We were very happy with the trip—I was literally grinning the entire time, it was so fun! So this year, when we planned a return trip to Alaska, including Ketchikan, I looked them up and was pleased to see that they were still there and evidently thriving, with more planes and pilots. We had a different pilot this time, same plane, and loved the trip just as much if not more! I highly recommend them!”
— TripAdvisor Review“SeaWind was awesome. From the super convenient pick-up at the cruise ship, to the friendly staff at the office to the actual flight. I witnessed the staff being super helpful and patient with customers that had mobility issues. The flight was amazing and included actually getting out at the fjord on a dock to allow for photos. The pilot was super friendly and knowledgeable. We had the ability to actually talk via headsets while in flight to the pilot and the other passengers. The value for the price was exceptional. It was the highlight of our entire trip to Alaska and Canada. The folks at SeaWind were genuine, warm and down to earth… not a corporate or cold experience. Loved it!

Our first trip on a seaplane and it was all I could imagine. Jill is great to book your trip and very knowledgeable about the area. These are all local residents who know lots about the area. This is a must do! You will not be disappointed!”
