Experience the Misty Fjords National Monument on this exhilarating 60-minute small-group tour in a DeHavilland Beaver or DeHavilland Otter floatplane. The spectacular seaplane features large windows for exceptional views, and individual headsets allowing you to enjoy the lively narrative and inspirational music, specially selected as an accompaniment to the stunning sights unfolding before you. Set aside as a fully protected wilderness area in 1978, Misty Fjords National Monument encompasses more than two million acres. Discover sheer granite cliffs, 1,000-foot cascading waterfalls, glistening lakes and low-hanging mists on your flight. Then marvel at the lush forests of spruce, hemlock and cedar clinging to snowcapped peaks, in this land of incredible natural beauty and rugged grandeur.
