This was the highlight of our Alaska cruise! The pictures can't even do it justice. Steven, the pilot, shared lots of great info and took us over the most amazing sights. When we passed over a whale, he circled once so everyone could see it. Same thing when he spotted a black bear eating dandelions! Leanne, the shuttle driver, was sweet as can be. And their dog was so friendly and adorable. If you can only afford one shore excursion during your cruise, do this one!!!

This was an excellent trip through the fjords, despite the cloudy, rainy day. It does rain 200 days a year in Ketchikan, so we were not surprised. Lesley worked with us as we tried to sort out an itinerary conflict which she brought to our attention and made sure that we were able to enjoy this excursion and get back to the ship in time.

Wow, just wow! We were really excited for this trip, just for the mere fact that we were flying in a float plane. That was cool, but the views were amazing. The pictures don't do it justice.

This was a very lovely relaxing experience
I have severe motion sickness and somehow did not barf all over everyone
The views were absolutely breathtaking
The pilot was knowledgeable and safe and talked just enough to give you info but not distract your zen
The office was clean and new and their two dogs were icing on the cake- such sweet babies!
I would absolutely recommend this company (over the others) because the others did not inspire confidence.. I kept thinking …
“That guy is taking people in a plane?!”
Ignore the weirdo guy and just book with these guys- there IS a difference

Amazing trip! Would definitely recommend and do again. Lovely pilot and perfect landing and cruising. Once he heard we were interested in wildlife it became a Find Waldo adventure in addition to taking in the breathtaking views. Wonderful!

This was a great experience. We were originally scheduled for the Bear Viewing trip but they called us and said it was getting too late for bears - would we like to cancel or switch to Misty Fjords, which is what we opted for. When we first arrived it was raining with low ceilings. So we waited around for a bit with the owners two goldens. After the weather cleared we had a terrific flight into the fjords are with a landing at a lake. Got out and walked the pontoon for a while and then took off for more sightseeing through the fjord area. Never knew seaplane takeoffs and landings could be so smooth. Even my wife, who was a little apprehensive felt safe and had a great time. Flying that low over the landscape gave you a wonderful opportunity for sightseeing and pictures. The owners are a husband and wife team that went the extra mile to make this an unforgettable Alaska experience. Top that off with two Golden retrievers in the lobby!

what an experience to get an aerial view of this beautiful scenery. my family enjoyed every moment. it's well worth it. the pilot was informative and the staff was professional. there was fog in the area and didn't want us to go up until the fog cleared out so we got the best views. would highly recommend this tour to anyone

I am so glad I chose Seawind Aviation. My dad has mobility issues and was worried about being able to get in and out of the float plane. The staff is great and so helpful. They made sure he got on and was comfortable.
