Misty Fjords National Monument

Alaska's Inside Passage or Southeast Alaska is home to some of the most breathtaking scenery on earth. One of its jewels is the majestic Misty Fjords National Monument. Completely road-less and consisting of 2.3 million acres, an area larger than Yellowstone, makes a seaplane tour the only way to comfortably experience the many different levels within the deep, narrow fjords. More dramatic than the Grand Canyon, the fjords are steep walled inlets of the sea. Created by glacial gouging long ago, snow capped, sheer granite cliffs rise dramatically 3,500 out of the sea, ribbonned with waterfalls plummeting sensationally thousands of feet. Nestled within the steep walled canyons, lie pristine bowl-shaped alpine lakes suspended at many different elevations above sea level. Fed by more than 150 inches of misty rain annually, the lush rain forest, made of giant stands of spruce, hemlock and cedar, cling to the rugged rising terrain. Wildlife abounds in the area, with mountain goats and harbor seals being the most frequently sighted animals. Our most popular tour lasts 2 hours and takes you across Revilliagegedo Island over to the Alaskan mainland where the fjords are located, and into the heart of the monument. Headsets with voice communication are provided to passengers so you can chat in flight and ask questions as we fly. For the highlight of the tour, we will land on an alpine lake or on a calm bay at sea level and let passengers get off of the floatplane for a quiet excursion. Relax, stretch your legs and take some photos as you drink in the silence of the vast wilderness. Flying within the Misty Fjords is truly an emotional experience you’ll never forget!!

Monument national des Fjords brumeux

Le passage intérieur de l'Alaska ou le sud-est de l'Alaska abrite certains des paysages les plus époustouflants de la planète. L'un de ses joyaux est le majestueux monument national des Misty Fjords. Complètement sans route et composé de 2,3 millions d'acres, une superficie plus grande que Yellowstone, fait d'un tour en hydravion le seul moyen de découvrir confortablement les nombreux niveaux différents dans les fjords profonds et étroits. Plus spectaculaires que le Grand Canyon, les fjords sont des entrées de mer aux parois abruptes. Créées il y a longtemps par les gouges glaciaires, les falaises de granit enneigées et abruptes s'élèvent de façon spectaculaire à 3 500 mètres au-dessus de la mer, entourées de chutes d'eau plongeant de manière sensationnelle à des milliers de pieds. Nichés dans les canyons aux parois escarpées, se trouvent des lacs alpins immaculés en forme de bol suspendus à différentes altitudes au-dessus du niveau de la mer. Alimentée par plus de 150 pouces de pluie brumeuse par an, la forêt tropicale luxuriante, composée de peuplements géants d'épinettes, de pruches et de cèdres, s'accroche au terrain accidenté qui monte. La faune abonde dans la région, les chèvres de montagne et les phoques communs étant les animaux les plus fréquemment observés. Notre visite la plus populaire dure 2 heures et vous emmène à travers l'île de Revilliagegedo jusqu'au continent de l'Alaska où se trouvent les fjords et au cœur du monument. Des casques avec communication vocale sont fournis aux passagers afin que vous puissiez discuter en vol et poser des questions pendant que nous volons. Pour le point culminant de la visite, nous atterrirons sur un lac alpin ou sur une baie calme au niveau de la mer et laisserons les passagers descendre de l'hydravion pour une excursion tranquille. Détendez-vous, dégourdissez-vous les jambes et prenez des photos tout en buvant dans le silence de la vaste nature sauvage. Voler dans les Misty Fjords est vraiment une expérience émotionnelle que vous n'oublierez jamais !!

What a fantastic experience! Our captain was Adam and he was knowledgable, friendly, and a great pilot. I was surprised at how effortlessly we took off and landed you couldn't even feel it! The tour? AMAZING! The scenery is breathtaking - in addition to the Fjords and the snow-capped mountains, we saw a whale in the water and a goat on the mountain! We landed on a crystal clear lake in one of the mountains for a short stop and took a walk on the shore. One of the best experiences we've ever had, it was simply idyllic. Note - when you land on the shore, your feet will get a little wet as you are walking in squishy snowmelt. Not a big deal, but you might not want to wear fancy shoes or flip-flops. Island Wings as a company was also fantastic to work with, Michelle and the crew were accommodating and friendly and we definitely recommend and will be back ourselves. Great job, Island Wings!

Our party of 4 were on a 7 day Alaskan cruise on Norwegian Bliss May 28- June 4 2022 and let me just say this, as great as the ship, food and sites were...NOTHING compared to our flight with Island Wings! If you make the trip to Alaska and dont take this trip, you are going home emptyhanded. Not only were the views exceptional but our pilot was great, informative and took a great interest in us as a group. His knowledge of not only the plane but the land and surroundings as he narrated to us all the entire trip through headset was incredible. If you dont do this, its your own fault!

My wife and I took a Misty Fjords Seaplane Tour on May 19, 2022. I arranged the tour through Island Wings Air Service the previous October. Communication via email was excellent. The trip confirmation gave detailed information about where to meet and what we could bring on the plane. Michelle was our pilot. Having flown seaplanes in the Ketchikan area since 1985, she was a wealth of knowledge about logging and wildlife in the area. The Misty Fjords scenery is well worth the price of the trip. Michelle flew over the different coves of Misty Fjords and then did a water landing on nearby Lake Nooya. Her skill as a pilot was on display as the landing was smooth as glass. We were allowed out of the plane to witness firsthand the serenity of a remote, Alaskan, mountain lake. All we heard was the sound of water cascading down the canyon walls. Michelle took photos of each couple. Some with the plane and lake in the background and another set with the lake and snow covered mountains in the background. When the two hour tour ended, we were presented with a brochure about Misty Fjords and a DVD of a flight over the fjord. I highly recommend a Misty Fjords Seaplane Tour with Island Wings Air Service as your guide.
