I made a thorough review of the alternatives for this king of tour in Ketchikan, and after the positive reviews I saw here and other forums (i.e. Cruise Critic); I booked with Michelle this amazing tour! First of all, being a privately owned and operated company, the service you receive is much better and personal. Booking directly with Michelle, saved... more

I have read some negative reviews, mainly due to scheduling problems, but I would recommend that these reviews not deter one from booking a flight with Michelle at Island Wings. It was simply the highlight of our trip to Alaska, with a flight around Denali tied for first place. It might be best to book a flight directly with Island... more

Our trip to the Misty Fjords was the trip of a lifetime. Michelle was professional and relaxed. I sat in the cockpit for incredible views. Michelle gave us a choice of where to land. The group voted to land near a mother bear and cubs. We were able to observe them for 20 minutes or so. She really went above... more

Wasn't sure if it was our luck (bad?). The day we took this Misty Fjord flight seeing trip the sun was out bright (which happens very rarely in Misty Fjord according to the pilot).

I was interested in taking an excursion that was different then the ones planned for the masses that you can book on the cruise ship. Island Wings looked like the one. We were picked up promptly at the... more

Her staff was also helpful and friendly. Having never been in a float plane, and only once in a small plane of that size, I was a bit nervous, but the flight... more

My husband and I took my Mom and our 2 children on this adventure when our cruise ship was in port at Ketchikan. We booked it with Island Wings after reading the positive reviews here on Trip Advisor. Flying in a floatplane was a first for all of us and we were a little nervous at first, but we were... more

My wife and I were in Ketchikan on July 14 and had the priviledge of taking a tour with Michelle of Island Wings. It was by far the best tour for us of the entire cruise.Michelle was very professional and at ease the entire trip. It was so nice to be around someone who takes so much pride in her... more

My wife and I booked our Island Wings Float Plane tour before we left home (Wollongong, Australia) mainly because Michelle offered time on the ground at Misty Fjord.. We thought that'd be nice....and we weren't dissapointed. Michelle was t eperfect hostess and did a brilliant job of settling te nerves of one of our party who was a "little" nervous... more
