A must do excursion
We went in October fully knowing the weather is not great this time of year, we were blessed with sunshine and had an amazing time. Felt safe at all times and the 1 hour flight was very informative. Definitely a must!

Highlight of our Cruise!!
Aug 2022
Booked through Ruby Princess and was not disappointed. The flight over was amazingly beautiful. When we arrived at the landing point in Neets Bay we had a greeting committee of a mama and her cub and another bear scavenging for salmon on the beach. We were able to watch them for a bit before walking a short distance on a forest trail past the salmon hatchery to the main viewing platforms. At the viewing platforms we were able to view 2 different bears fishing in the river for salmon. We were also able to see a couple of eagles.

Great Tour, meeting location a trek
Aug 2022 • Solo
Very professional & accommodating staff. The only down side was the meeting place was downtown & my ship docked at the NCL terminal which was a 20 minute shuttle & 10 minute walk away. They did drop me and a couple others off at the NCL dock after the flight so that was good. Our flight did not land in the middle of it, as some reviewers have noted. The pilot told me this is an extra cost & they try to avoid doing it due to the dangers involved. My pro tip: sit in the co-pilot’s seat, it has the best view.

Wait on hot shuttle to be cancelled.
Cancelled after waiting in hot shuttle bus. Arrived at dock at 10am. Did extended checkin on shuttle bus with no ventilation, drove to terminal, sat on hot bus again to find flight canceled due to mechanical problems. Another ride on hot bus back to the boat. Understand they can have mechanical problems but they should have been able to tell us at the ship where we had a chance to make an alternative arrangement. Instead, whole day is blown.

Gorgeous!
Jul 2022
The views were absolutely gorgeous! So glad I got to do this. Only regret is that while we landed on the water, we didn't actually get to step foot on land as the description suggested. Great otherwise. Thanks

The ultimate views of Alaska
Wow what a ride! Not only do we get to see the beautiful waterfalls and waterfalls and pools of water among the mountains and the snow, we landed on a tiny Little Rock formation where the pilot let us get out and take pictures. The views were amazing and the tour was so fun! Talk about photo opportunities!

Otter or Beaver?
Oct 2021
I took a Float trip to Thorne Bay on Prince of Wales Island for business. Due to poor weather, this was my fourth attempt. Taquan very graciously rescheduled 3-times without charging me. The pilots are experienced, and the de Havilland plane float planes are in great condition. No white knuckles here.

Bucket list plane ride.
Super fun plane ride today with pilot Chuck. He’s been flying this route for over 25 years. He provided local commentary to enhance the company audio and music. We felt very safe. Wonderful scenery and our touch down in the middle of a fjord lake was just so great. We do recommend.

An amazing experience
Jun 2021
We had a great trip out on the floatplane. We had to reschedule due to cloudy weather. I appreciate that they really wanted us to be safe and have an enjoyable experience. Our pilot was great and was able to give us informational commentary on the trip. We flew over amazing landscapes and mountains and landed on the water near Misty Fjord. We were able to get out there and take pictures of the amazing scenery.
