Taquan Air was a great choice. This is a big operation. Very Professional.They have 5 or 6 planes, a big dock and check in/waiting room. The flight was beautiful. We went to the Misty Fjords where he landed in a cove, we got out on the pontoons, took pics, & flew back a different route. There are alot of choices... More

We recently took a flight seeing trip to Misty Fjords with Taquan Air. We chose this company because of the B1G1 free coupon offered in the Toursaver coupon book. I really didn't know what to expect but the company was very professional and well run. We were picked up at the ship and driven to the office. It was a... More

We took a flightseeing tour (and all-you-can-eat crab feast) during our cruise on the Sapphire Princess. The tour group met us at the bottom of the gangway, escorted us to the lodge for an early lunch, and then we traveled back to Ketchikan during a 30-minute flight on a DeHavilland Beaver. I had always wanted to take a flight from... More

This was one of the best things I have ever experienced in my 60+ years. Ethan - from West Virginia - was our wonderful pilot of the Floatplane that took us to Paradise! Ethan made us feel very comfortable and did an amazing job showing off the Alaskan scenery and looking for whales as we headed for the dock to... More

Let me first state that my wife doesn't like to fly in small planes, and she was very nervous about the water part. But being the trooper she is she agreed to go for me. We did book this through our cruise ship and upon leaving the ship immediately boarded their bus. We had a great informative ride to the... More

My wife and I were celebrating our 10th anniversary. We choose to go on a cruise aboard the Sapphire Princess. We did not book our sea plane through the ship. We choose to book at the dock. We saved $100 Per person and we were able to book our experience with Taquan Air Tours one hour before flying. Steve was... More

We pre- booked this bear watching experience with Taquan Air for our Ketchikan port visit. We were picked up by the Taquan shuttle at the port then given a video briefing at the Taquan office. We were then greeted by our pilot and boarded the 6 passenger float plane. The weather was sunny and water was like glass so we... More

So, first off, yes, this is a very expensive activity, but it is so worth it. The Misty Fjords are practically indescribable, but I'll try. They are some of the most dramatic scenery you will get to experience up close, and doing so in a float plane allows you to see the striking contrats and juxtapositions therein: mountains running right...

We took the Misty Fjords tour - spectacular scenery. The landing in the lake and sitting in the absolute stillness was sheer bliss. We just wanted to stay the place was so beautiful. It might be perceived as expensive but this tour is worth it - please don't miss this. More
