My wife and I wanted to take a float plane trip while cruising Alaska. Did not like the sound of the excursions offered by our cruise line so we looked at other vendors and found Island Wings Air Service. We were able to reserve/purchase online. They picked us up and brought us to their dock/office, gave us an amazing flight... More

This was a beautiful flight. It was a highlight experience on our Alaska cruise. Michelle has a great plane, and as far as I know, her flight to Misty Fjords is the only one where you can get out of the plane when she lands. She allowed us to explore around 15 to 20 minutes and took pictures for us... More

Actually, we went before 2011 and take great exception with any negatives relating to Island Wings. Shawn and Michelle could not have been more accommodating or easier to work with from the pre-trip planning to the post-trip comments. They gave us good information about when, where, what and how --- and all were correct. Michelle is an amazing pilot and... More

Skip about half way down if you want to get to Island Wings......So I had booked a cruise down the Alaska inside passage. I start reading about things to do and lo and behold I find a woman writing about her experience at AnAn Creek Bear Observatory. This sounded like an opportunity of a lifetime for someone like myself. I... More

Whilst honeymooning in Canada at the end of July we wanted to organise a trip to see Bears catching Salmon, after much research on TA we decided to travel to Ketchikan just to do the Anan Creek tour with Island Wings- we were not disappointed!!! As many people have said before Island Wings is a class act- Shona was fantastically... More

All the reviews you read about Michelle are true. She makes the experience truly memorable. She doesn't seem to tire of sharing about the area and her knowledge of flying a seaplane. I would highly recommend bringing some kind of bug spray. Michelle landed on a lake up in the mountains and we loved getting out and wandering around. The... More

An amazing experience! We traveled to Ketchikan to get married back in June and decided to book with Island Wings last minute...so happy we did! The flight was breath taking and Michelle's wealth of knowledge of the area was incredible! A big highlight of our trip, would reccomend to anyone visiting the Ketchika! More

We went on the 4 hour Traitors Cove Bear Tour. Apparently the time of year was still great for viewing bears. We were picked up and taken to the dock for the flight. Now I'm very particular about safety with small planes and I must say the plane looked immaculate and we were given a safety briefing and met the... More

By now you've read the same reviews over and over again, but they are all true. I half-kidded with Michelle that she has achieved "rock star" status on Trip advisor but I think it is a worthy title for her. She truly gives an unforgettable presentation of this great wilderness that she loves so dearly. She lands that plane on... More
