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!
