Appreciated the safety instructions and that they don't fly if the weather is questionable. (We missed out on our tours in Juneau because of the weather there- so we understand the disappointment) Well worth the money- can't think of a better way to see the grandeur of the misty fjords! Highly recommend! More Read Less

On a Viking cruise and booked this outing with friends. The company was professional and efficient and our pilot instilled confidence. Because the ceiling was too low the pilot turned around after about 20 minutes in the air (the view was great!) and said we couldn't complete the trip. We were all happy he readily ended the flight in consideration of our safety first. I gave it a 4, only because of the weather. We would use them again if we find ourselves back in Alaska.

Slightly concerned by a drab day with low cloud in Ketchikan, we were assured that conditions in the Fjords would be different and so it proved. We had a great flight with Captain Davy, relaxed, comfortable, informative and highly picturesque. Landing on the Fjord was smooth as silk as were the other take offs and landings. If flight-seeing over Misty Fjords is for you, then we would highly recommend this company.

Although not as breathtaking or awesome as the "5-Glacier Seaplane Exploration" flight we took a couple of days before from Juneau (with Wings Airways), the Misty Fjords Seaplane Tour was absolutely beautiful. With 2 mishaps involving 3 other company's aircraft within the 2 months before (resulting in several deaths), we were a little apprehensive. Our apprehension wasn't helped when we were informed that our flight would go ahead notwithstanding the very low clouds and light rain, or by the casual atmosphere that seems to permeate...

With 2 mishaps involving 3 other company's aircraft within the 2 months before (resulting in several deaths), we were a little apprehensive. Our apprehension wasn't helped when we were informed that our flight would go ahead notwithstanding the very low clouds and light rain, or by the casual atmosphere that seems to permeate the organization - from the counter agent, to the aircraft facility (a single hanger with the only accommodation for passengers being a port-a-pottie), to the pilot. (By contrast, Wings Airways in Juneau was far more organized and polished.) But we learned that what appeared to be casual was really confidence born of experience. The organization had never had a mishap in their 30 years of business, and our pilot had been flying in Alaska for much longer than that. Although not as polished as Wings Airways, we felt very safe with Misty Fjords Air and Outfitting. The flight was awesome. While the term "fjord" may be technically accurate, what you see is a significantly scaled-down version of the Norwegian fjords that likely come to mind. Still, the scenery is spectacular. We landed on one of the fjords and spent about 20 minutes on a floating dock just enjoying the surroundings. Highly recommended - this is...

This is a great tour where you see waterfalls, fjords and lakes. The landing on the lake was awesome. Very quiet and peaceful once you stood outside the seaplane. Our pilot was excellent. It was raining in Ketchikan when we left, but the pilot said they have access to cameras in the fjords and said the weather would be better there. And they were right. Glad we took this tour and happy we chose Misty Fjords Air & Outfitting.

Having been marooned in Ketchikan by the Alaskan Marine Highways System ferry strike, the only way to reach Canada was by Misty Air. Their booking system was good and there were no hitches. The aircraft was modern and spacious. The flight was excellent, smooth and we were kept informed by our pilot, Dave. Altogether a wonderful experience which managed to restore some of our depression on losing our Alaskan holiday highlights.

Well worth the price. We loved the beautiful float plane ride w our awesome pilot George and beautiful plane. Felt really safe and had a hour plus ride over the magestic preserved mountains to the lodge were we met Mady our awesome host. Our crab feast was the best ever. We will always remember this excursion because Mady' s hospitality was great. We hated to leave. PS. The Alaskan beers were great. Thanks.

An exceptional value compared to the price of every other tour. The views were seriously breathtaking and priceless from the moment you depart, until the time you land. Honestly, the highlight of my trip.

What a trip! - an incredible morning out flying over the stunning scenery around Ketchikan, and eventually landing on one of the lakes in Misty Fjords.

Our pilot (Chuck?) was amazing - his commentary superb, as was his obvious love for the area, he even brought along his own tailored playlist for the journey which was excellent (the choice of Stairway to Heaven was particularly inspired).

A truly fantastic trip and one that we would really, really recommend to others to take.

Excellent Pilot!! Evan gave us a flight of a lifetime!! Beautiful scenery breath taking views of mts rivers and area. Very knowledgeable of area and made us feel very comfortable. Best part of Alaskan vacation. Would recommend this flight and Evan to everyone traveling to Alaska

What a great adventure! Beautiful sights! Up close and personal with Misty Fjords. Must do for everyone!
