Begin or end your visit to Ketchikan with a bird's eye view of our historic town. You will take off from the Ketchikan waterfront, fly over the community, and immediately enter wilderness. Your expert local pilot/guide will point out the highlights and provide insights of Alaskan lifestyles. Experience a richly forested fjord lined with massive granite cliffs, waterfalls, and the Ketchikan lakes below. Make sure your camera is loaded and ready as your pilot watches for bear and mountain goats in this area of pristine grandeur. Dramatically see how the residents of this frontier-style community live amongst islands and at the edge of a rich wilderness.

Marvel at the close-up views of the spectacular snowcapped Ketchikan Alps, including Deer, Fish, Achilles and Buck mountains. Your experience unfolds as you descend through a lush valley and over the rustic Herring Cove community, as your aircraft heads towards Ketchikan.

Pilot's Choice	Seaplane SafariThe Deluxe Seaplane Safari includes a 10 minute water landing on a pristine alpine lake located on Revillagigedo Island. Your pilot will invite you to step out onto the pontoons to enjoy the fresh mountain air and the breathtaking scenery that surrounds you. Your pilot will carry you along the Revillagigedo Island coast and by the Saxman Native Village. Admire Saxman's many totem poles as they tower into the sky and have one more glimpse of the mountainous background of town before descending onto the Ketchikan waterfront.
