Fly from Ketchikan over Misty Fjords’ granite cliffs and waterfalls, with a wilderness fjord stop when weather permits.
About this tour
Take off from Ketchikan and trade the harbor for a vast landscape of forest, waterfalls, and sheer granite. This 2-hour Ketchikan Misty Fjords floatplane tour carries you over Misty Fjords National Monument, where glacial and volcanic forces shaped dramatic fjords and jewel-like lakes.
Listen to your pilot’s narration through individual headsets as you scan the rugged scenery for eagles, bears, deer, and mountain goats. Look for the 1,000-foot waterfall flowing from Big Goat Lake, then, weather permitting, step out for a 20-minute stop at a wilderness fjord. The pause offers time to stretch your legs and take in the surroundings before the flight back.
Round-trip transportation from the cruise ship dock is included. Your guide meets you at the ship or tender disembarkation point, and the final voucher with meeting instructions is issued four weeks before the excursion. Make room in your Ketchikan plans for a memorable aerial view of Misty Fjords.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 4.00 from 123 reviews. We place that rating among all GetYourGuide ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in Ketchikan
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 4.1.
