Ketchikan
Ketchikan, otherwise known as the First City, has a population of almost 14,000 and is on the southwest side of Revillagigedo Island, only 90 miles from Prince Rupert. The town grew around salmon canneries and sawmills. In fact, at one time Ketchikan was proclaimed the “Salmon Capital of the World,” a title that reappeared in 1996 with a new welcome arch in town. Tourists flock to Ketchikan for their first look at the North Country, and rarely are they disappointed.

Experience the thrill of a lifetime during this awe-inspiring seaplane adventure from Ketchikan's bustling harbor to the Misty Fjords National Monument.
Depart the picturesque harbor aboard a seaplane for an exhilarating flight to the Misty Fjords National Monument. Your specially-equipped Dehavilland or Cessna aircraft will offer all of the amenities required to make your trip a memorable one, including window seats for all passengers, digital CD/audio systems, and individual headsets to hear the complimentary narration and music. A souvenir route guidebook will be provided.
Upon arrival at the Misty Fjords National Monument, you will experience the dramatic beauty of a land slowly crafted by the hands of nature over tens of thousands of years. Once buried under a solid layer of thick glacial ice, the Misty Fjords National Monument is now home to some of Alaska's most dramatic scenery. The sheer granite cliffs, plunging 1,000-foot waterfalls, beautiful river valleys and serene crystalline lakes surrounded by pristine untouched forests are truly sights to behold.
During your tour, a landing will be made on a remote mountain lake or saltwater fjord for an opportunity to absorb the silence, serenity and monumental beauty of your surroundings.
Following your visit, you will re-board your seaplane for the return flight to the harbor.
Please note: This tour includes approximately 65 minutes of total flight time, along with a ten-minute water landing at Misty Fjords (weather permitting).
