À quoi s'attendre

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 !!

Island Wings Air Service owner Michelle Masden was my pilot. I went on a ‘Misty Fjords flightseeing tour’ (US$249/£200) in a De Havilland Beaver during my holiday in Alaska. Tour = 1 hour 50 minutes, including flying over the Misty Fjords National Monument/Coast Mountain range and a 30 minute stopover at Punchbowl Lake. Pros: -Michelle is a skilful and experienced pilot. -Ground-based staff (Shona, Jensen) were polite and personable and would helpfully answer any question. Cons: -Michelle needs to work on her customer service skills. She was abrupt, surly, condescending and borderline rude to me on numerous occasions during the tour. Unfortunately, Michelle was the most disappointing person I met whilst in Alaska. Notes: -The best views are at the rear two rows of the Beaver, otherwise the wing & wing-strut will obscure your view and enjoyment.

We had a great view of the Misty Fjords. Everyone on board had their own window. Michelle circled around the best views so that all of the passengers could see. She is very knowledgeable. This was the highlight of our 7 day cruise.

Dear BittFam, Thank you for the nice review and for flying with me! I'm always happy to hear that my passengers enjoyed their flight with me. I feel very fortunate to be able to do what I love for a living and to be able share it with others. I hope you enjoyed all of your days in Alaska and wish you many happy trails! All the best, Michelle

While we were a little nervous taking our first-ever floatplane tour, especially with the weather being a little nasty in downtown Ketchikan, we are so glad we trusted Michelle and her team. The flight was super smooth and the views were incredible once we were just 10 minutes outside of the city. Michelle had interesting insight and stories to share the entire ride, and took some great photos for us at our mid-flight lake landing.

Dear Seth W, Thank you for the lovely review! Glad to hear you enjoyed your flight with us! The weather in Ketchikan is often the cloudiest in the area. Often is the case that a mere 10 minutes flying out of town and the weather clears up. We have access to FAA installed weather cameras all over Alaska. These cameras upload a photo every 6 minutes to show pilots what the weather is doing in the outlying areas. These cameras have been very helpful as there are huge areas in Alaska with no human habitation and no one to tell you what the weather is doing. Thank you for flying with us! All the best, Michelle
