After a telephonic booking which linked us in South Africa with Lesley in Alaska, we had a gut feeling that booking a trip with SeaWind Aviation would be right. We weren't wrong! Lesley has to be one of the nicest people we have ever met. Over the phone, she answered all our questions with such friendliness that when we finally... More

In one amazing hour with Steve at SeaWind Aviation we saw more of Alaska than we did in a week onboard the ship. Majestic fjords, beautiful lakes, soaring mountains, bears, sheep, deer, eagles - we saw it all in one fantastic flight! All while Steve regaled us with great stories of his many, many years flying in Alaska. HIs cool... More

My sister and I booked our flight to Misty Fjords with Steve and Leslie Kamm following the glowing reports we had read on Trip Advisor. I would highly recommend them for their integrity and concern for their passengers' safety. We arrived in Ketchikan by cruiseship on 26th August. The weather was overcast with light showers when we took off, but... More

We recently returned from an Alaskan Inside Passage Cruise. While in Ketchikan, we decided to take advantage of the seaplanes and booked a Misty Fjords flightseeing tour with Seawind Aviation. They are a small, family run business and their prices were much better than those offered by the cruise line. They even gave discounts for booking early and paying in... More

As part of our Alaska Inside Passage cruise, we were at Ketchikan during end of June 2011. We planned to do a 90 minutes float place flight into Misty Fiords but did not book anything in advance as Ketchikan weather can be very unpredictable. We booked our misty Fjords float plane trip when we arrived at Ketchikan. We booked with... More

We just finished a bear watching tour. We saw four bears an amazing lake and Steve flew us into the mountains for a chance to see mountain goats. If Seawind is the company your cruise ship sends you to you will not be disappointed. If you are debating booking through your ship vs independenty, definately go with Seawind. Leslie, Steve... More

In August 2011, my husband and I had the opportunity to go on a float plane trip to Misty Fjords. We chose SeaWind Aviation for our trip. The company is family owned and do a 100% professional job. Steve and Lesley Kamm are the owners. Lesley was great to work with over the phone when making our reservations. Steve is... More

Support the people who live in Alaska - fly local with Steve and Leslie. This is a one plane family operation with a spotless record and exceptional service. They are delightful people who take pride in their business and love what they do. I give it my highest recommendation. We found SeaWind on the internet when we were looking for... More

Leslie was very helpful in setting up our reservation. I emailed her with my inquiries and she called me quickly to set everything up. Seawind is definitely the best value that I could find anywhere for this type of tour. Because I had 7 people in my group (just what the plane holds minus the pilot), I was able to... More
