My husband and I flew with Ryan after reading these amazing reviews. We were on a Norwegian cruise and booked this trip on our own by phone when we arrived in Ketchikan in early May 2012. Don't let Ketchikan's weather deter you from doing the flight. It rains and is cloudy in Ketchikan most of the time but once you... More

Ryan took us out to Prince Wales Island on Sept 15th 2011. Was an absolute gorgeous day in Ketchikan and was a great excursion to Prince Wales Island. The flight was great, the island and the spot Ryan took us to was spectacular. Salmon were jumping everywhere. There were a number of sea lions there feeding on them and the... More

Our party of 6 was in Ketchikan on August 3, 2011 as part of a cruise trip. We had signed up with Southeast Aviation for a float plane trip to the Misty Fiords. We were picked up promptly and taken to the plane. Met "KOS", the owner, and "Ernie", our pilot. This was the best excursion we had for the... More

We had booked this trip in England before we left on our cruise. Previous pickups in cruise port stops had been bit hit and miss, but this went very smoothly and efficiently. Despite wet weather with low cloud, it was an amazing flight and even more so as we didn't know what to expect and how we were going to... More

Loved the Bear trip to the Fjords... Ryan is a wonderful pilot and we had a great time hunting down bears in this awesomely scenic park. We were picked up timely and enjoyed the flight out to search for the Bears in the Fjords. Catching Bears eating salmon ..... I felt like I was doing the photo spread for National... More

Booked tis company by a referral from a friend..Tiger picked us up on time and delivered us back to same location. Was a little nervous but ride was smooth even thru the mist and dense fog in some places..the scenery is beautiful and serene..waterfalls, amazing greenery, wildlife. Landed in a deserted lake area and walked around and took some pictures.... More

My float plane trip into Misty Fjords National Monument was the highlight of our 12-day Alaska land sea tour. While the rest of our group of five couples went gold prospecting among the multitude of jewelery storess in Ketchican, I prospected for a low-cost floatplane tour into Misty Fjords National Monument where I hope I would get to see grizzly...

I settled on Alaska Seaplane tours after by first two choices were booked. Despite not having my top choices, everything went smoothly. We had a reliable and friendly pick up and a quick 5 minute drive to the launch site. Our pilot was friendly and pleasant throughout the entire trip. We were blessed with extraordinary weather making for fantastic pictures.... More

We paid the Alaska Seaplanes more than $200.00 each person for bear view. The pilot did not say any word during the trip and landed us in the place with no fish. If you want to join bear watching in Alaska, don't do it in Ketchikan. More

Ryan,pilot was personable. Wonderful time, but once we got there we were in and out. The pilot took our group picture and the glare was so bad you could not tell who was who. The sights made up for it though. Our trip on the sea plane will stay in our mind, but the pic will never come out of... More
