    Experiencing the magic of Alaska

    Water Landing in the middle of the fjord was magical. This tour was one of the highlights of our trip.

    Great trip at a great value.

    Great value for a wonderful trip. The office was helpful, efficient and friendly. The pilot was knowledgable and a great pilot, and a fascinating person. The flight was beautiful and the plane was comfortable and had great viewing.

    Wonderful experience with Seawind !

    We had a wonderful flight seeing experience with Seawind Aviation. Setup and meeting : We booked this excursion a week ahead. There was a last minute time change (first from 8.30 to 9.30am, and then back to 8.30). Time change happened for a friend of ours as well . What i want to say is - Don’t be alarmed if this happens - the fine people at Seawind know what they are doing, and will help you get from and back the cruise ship as needed. The office is almost like a log cabin, very cozy and welcoming ! Comfortable seating while you wait for your plane. 2 lovely dogs liven up the place 🙂 Experience - This is a once in a lifetime kind of experience. You get to truly experience the vast expanse of the “last frontier” with mountains, numerous lakes, waterfalls. The highlight undoubtedly was the water landing . this took place at one of the lakes high up in the mountains. the pristine surroundings are a joy to behold . Note - water landing is not included by default. please make sure you have this if you want while booking . We went on a plane with 6 passengers + pilot. everyone got a window seat. we had great weather, but in poor weather, some people could get a bit sick due to the rocking of the plane. Would love to do this again, but it is a steep price as you could expect.

    Misty Fjords Flightseeing 1.5hr -includes 20 minute water landing: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ketchikan.

    How much does Misty Fjords Flightseeing 1.5hr -includes 20 minute water landing cost?

    +

    Prices start at $470 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ketchikan usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Misty Fjords Flightseeing 1.5hr -includes 20 minute water landing take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Ketchikan is not rushed.

    Is Misty Fjords Flightseeing 1.5hr -includes 20 minute water landing worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 48 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Ketchikan, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Misty Fjords Flightseeing 1.5hr -includes 20 minute water landing?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Misty Fjords Flightseeing 1.5hr -includes 20 minute water landing suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Misty Fjords Flightseeing 1.5hr -includes 20 minute water landing?

    +

    Around 17 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Ketchikan can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Ketchikan and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Misty Fjords Flightseeing 1.5hr -includes 20 minute water landing start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Ketchikan within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Ketchikan?

    +

    Ketchikan runs short, cruise-timed excursions: Misty Fjords floatplane flights, Tongass rainforest zip lines, totem park tours, crab feasts and wildlife boats up the Behm Canal. On Outty we rank every Ketchikan experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ketchikan Kayak Eco-Tour, Off the Beaten Path Ketchikan Photo Safari - 3 hr., Ketchikan Shore Excursion: Rainforest Canopy Ropes and Zipline Adventure Park. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Ketchikan?

    +

    May to September, matching the Alaska cruise season. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Ketchikan?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
