Once airborne the flight path takes you over the 700,000 acre expanse of Revillagigedo Island and the Tongass National Forest. You’ll soar across the 100 mile stretch of Behm Canal which cuts its way through the wilderness dividing Revillagigedo Island from mainland Alaska. You will see New Eddystone Rock, an imposing volcanic spire and reminder of ancient geological activity.

You then fly into the 2.3 million acre Misty Fjords National Monument. This pristine country is considered to be one of the last untouched landscapes on the planet and is guaranteed to overwhelm your senses. You'll see massive vertical rock formations, snow capped peaks 3,000 to 6,000 feet high and cascading waterfalls reaching into deep freshwater lakes and saltwater fjords. We may also see Brown or black bear, mountain goats, bald eagles, and whales in this isolated setting. Your experience will be complete when the pilot touches down on one of the many waterways within the monument to allow you a closer look at the landscape. Don't forget your camera as we frequently view Alaskan wildlife up close and personal! Sunglasses, suitable waterproof outerwear and comfortable footwear are recommended for this land excursion.

5 Star Lighthouse Explorer

Explore the unique lighthouses and sites of Southeast, Alaska on a seaplane flightseeing excursion. Fly in style aboard an executive class floatplane, fully equipped for your comfort and pleasure with whisper quiet headsets, plush seating, and large bubble windows for a bird’s eye view of the landscape below. Your seaplane Captain will personally narrate your flight and will welcome questions about the history, geography and wildlife that you’ll encounter during your voyage.

On this unique 90 minute flight you’ll fly around and above “Tree Point Lighthouse”, poised to warn mariners of treacherous ‘Lord Rocks’ below. We’ll continue on to “Mary Island Lighthouse”. Just 25 miles from the Canadian border, it was named in 1872 for the daughter of Admiral John Winslow. Next we’ll search out the Lightship Umatilla LV 196 which served at Umatilla Reef from 1961 to 1971, when it was decommissioned. It then mysteriously disappeared for 29 years, finally being discovered in Ketchikan in 2000. “Guard Island Lighthouse” is our last destination. It was first illuminated in 1904 and is one of 4 wooden buildings resting on tiny Guard Island today, still leading mariners to safety.

In addition to these amazing structures you’ll explore the vast landscape of Southeast, Alaska. Marine and land animals are abundant in this region of the world and we often spot brown and black bear, killer whales, and the majestic American bald eagle.
This once in a lifetime experience will delight lighthouse and flight enthusiasts alike. Soar above the clouds and re-visit a time when the wind and stars guided your way and a glowing light on the horizon was your pathway home.
