The Misty Fjords National Monument is a 2.2 million acre park which was carved by glaciers some 10,000 years ago. During your 1.5-hour flightseeing tour, you will see a myriad of crystal clear alpine lakes gouged out by those very glaciers. Saltwater fjords surrounded by sheer granite walls are alive with waterfalls cascading down thousands of feet.This popular 1.5-hour tour takes you across Revillagegedo Island, over to the Alaska mainland where the fjords are located, and into the heart of the Misty Fjords National Monument. Headsets are provided to passengers so the pilot can narrate and point out some of the beautiful sights. Your pilot will be your personal tour guide throughout this amazing experience. He can answer your questions while sharing with you his beautiful home in Southeast Alaska.

For the highlight of the tour, you will land on a calm bay at sea level so you can take in the scenery from sea level as you drink in the silence of the vast wilderness. Your 15-minute stopover at the Monument gives you time to stretch your legs, take some pictures, and breathe in some of the purest air on the planet. Unbelievable scenery will surround you. This may be one of the most peaceful and breathtaking times of your life. Flying within the Misty Fjords is truly an emotional experience you'll never forget!
