Discover Misty Fjords National Monument in Alaska's Inside Passage, the nation's second largest wilderness region and accessible only by floatplane or by cruise. Whether you are visiting Ketchikan by cruiseship, extending your Alaska land tour or vacation, touching base with friends and family nearby or just looking for a day trip out of Ketchikan while on business, a Misty Fjords floatplane tour is a great way to see this unique corner of Alaska in just an easy afternoon or morning excursion.
Misty Fjords National Monument in Southeast Alaska spans more than two million acres with towering, sheer granite cliffs, 1,000-foot waterfalls, beautiful lush and remote valleys and serene crystalline lakes. Misty Fjords is one of our country's greatest national treasures and includes the best in Alaska treasures - from wildlife to landscapes to history and geology. On Promech Air's Misty Fjords floatplane tour, you will board one of our expertly-maintained floatplanes, taking off to soar above the city of Ketchikan and begin your flightseeing journey to this enchanted monument in Alaska's Inside Passage.
As your Promech Air pilot flies into Misty Fjords, you see spectacular Rudyerd Bay and New Eddystone Rock, a striking volcanic spire and remnant of early geological activity in this part of Alaska. Midway through your flight, your pilot will land in a pristine lake or saltwater inlet, where you will step out of the seaplane onto its floats, to absorb the incredible Alaskan wilderness scenery, serenity, and sweeping silence. Eagles, bears, mountain goats, whales, and sea lions are some of the wildlife you may observe on your Misty Fjords floatplane trip.
Our specially equipped Promech Air floatplanes, including both de Havilland Beavers and de Havilland single-turbine Otters, offer all the amenities to make your Alaskan flightseeing trip a memorable experience. You will enjoy digital CD audio systems and individual passenger headsets to listen to your guides description of what you are flying over and accompanying music. All Alaska floatplane passengers are guaranteed window seats for the best flightseeing, and a souvenir guidebook of Misty Fjords National Monument will help you identify landmarks and scenic highlights, and also will serve as a memento of your Alaska floatplane trip.
