Misty Fjords National Monument by Seaplane

Description

Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.

Experience the Misty Fjords on this exhilarating 60-minute small-group tour on a DeHavilland Beaver or DeHavilland Otter floatplane.

The Misty Fjords National Monument is home to some of the most dramatic scenery in Alaska, and only by air will you be able to fully appreciate the dramatic beauty of land, slowly crafted by the hands of nature over tens of thousands of years. The spectacular seaplane features large windows for exceptional views, and individual headsets allowing you to enjoy the lively narrative and inspirational music, specially selected as an accompaniment to the stunning sights unfolding before you.

Set aside as a fully protected wilderness area in 1978, Misty Fjords National Monument encompasses more than two million acres. Discover on this once-in-a-lifetime flight, breathtaking 1000-foot cascading waterfalls, glistening lakes and low-hanging mists on your flight from the Tongass Narrows over the volcanic Revillagigedo Island to Misty Fjords. Then marvel at the sheer walls of granite plunging over 3,000 feet into the fjords and the lush forests of spruce, hemlock and cedar clinging to snowcapped peaks, set in this land of incredible natural beauty and rugged grandeur.

Special Notes:

Shoes with non-skid soles are recommended. Due to weight and balance limitations, as well as passenger safety and comfort, the airline has advised that guests weighing 250 lbs. or more (fully clothed) will be assessed a weight surcharge of $150. In any case where the necessity of the surcharge is verified, it will be paid directly to the tour operator just prior to the flight departure.

Carry-on bags are not allowed and there is limited secure storage at the hangar. Aircraft fly no higher than 4,000 feet. Oxygen for personal use is allowed but must be in the form of an FAA approved portable oxygen concentrator that can be secured to the user's body. Your flight route is dependent on the day's weather conditions - you may see new Eddystone Rock and Big Goat Lake to the south or Neets Bay and Bell Island Hot Springs to the north.

Flightseeing excursions are not refundable unless cancelled by 12:00pm on the day after embarkation.

Unaccompanied Minor Policy: Children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
