Fly over the Misty Fjords National Monument on a flightseeing tour from Ketchikan. Enjoy a 20-minute stop at a wilderness fjord and listen to the pilot's narration through individual headsets.

Begin your adventure in Ketchikan, where you’ll board a floatplane and take off over the Tongass National Forest. Fly through the Misty Fjords National Monument, a 2.3 million-acre wonderland of waterfalls, sheer granite cliffs, and lush forests. Marvel at the dramatic landscape, formed over millennia by volcanic and glacial activity. See majestic fjords, cascading waterfalls, and jewel-like lakes from above. Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife, including eagles, bears, deer, mountain goats, seals, and maybe even whales. Enjoy a personal pilot narration with individual headsets as you soar over this rugged paradise. Make a 20-minute stop at a wilderness fjord, weather permitting, to stretch your legs and take in the breathtaking scenery. See the splendid 1,000-foot waterfall flowing from Big Goat Lake, named for the region's concentration of mountain goats. Spot colonies of these marvelous high mountain creatures from the air. After your flight, return to Ketchikan, where you’ll be transported back to the cruise ship dock.
