Descrizione
Soar over the Misty Fjords National Monument on a floatplane tour from Ketchikan with commentary from your pilot. Admire the beauty of the Tongass National Forest and the Revillagigedo Island.
Take to the skies over the stunning Misty Fjords National Monument on a floatplane tour from Ketchikan. Admire the lakes, sheer cliffs, and waterfalls of Misty Fjords, a part of the Tongass National Forest covering more than 2 million acres (900,000 hectares) of alpine wilderness.
Meet your pilot in Ketchikan and climb aboard your 6-passenger floatplane. During the flight, hear your pilot’s commentary and a musical soundtrack via your headset. Ascend over Tongass Narrows, a body of water located between Ketchikan and Gravina Island, and fly past Ketchikan.
Take in the beauty of Tongass National Forest as you soar over Revillagigedo Island to Misty Fjords National Monument, about 40 miles/64 km east of town. Traveling through a low-hanging mist that gives the region its name, enjoy views of fjords, cliffs, and rock walls jutting out of the water.
Witness waterfalls cascading down narrow granite passages, and dense forests of hemlock and sprucing cover the vertical slopes. Fly over Rudyard Bay, getting a fantastic vantage point of New Eddystone Rock, a remnant of early volcanic activity.
Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife like wolves, bears, deer, and eagles, ending the adventure with a drop-off back in Ketchikan.
