boleynkid Posted November 12, 2017 #1 Share Posted November 12, 2017 I am having trouble re-locating a floatplane tour I saw when doing my research on excursions. It described a lake landing and then being able to stand on a pontoon for a while to enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Much appreciated for any suggestions of what tour I may have been looking at. Problem is I am not sure if it was Juneau, Skagway or Ketchikan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Becoming Posted November 14, 2017 #3 Share Posted November 14, 2017 I did Island Wings with Michelle in Ketchikan this summer. We landed on a lake in Misty Fjords with plans to walk on shore. Well, there was a bear on shore so we stood on the pontoon and watched the bear for a few minutes. A great memory! Enjoy Alaska! Patti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Coral Posted November 14, 2017 #4 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Not all Misty Fiords float planes do a landing during the trip (not just the end of the trip). Make sure you ask about this. I know Island Wings does. This is in Ketchikan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petefoss Posted November 14, 2017 #5 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Island Wings did a fijiord landing rather than a lake on our trip. We got out for a while on a nice large floating dock. Not sure how many people would be comfortable standing on a float. Pretty narrow. Sent from my SM-G950U using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G950U using Forums mobile app Standing on the plane's float, when I did it, contributed to the entire experience. Would I do it now as a less stable cruiser? No. And, I'd regret that loss of my confidence to do so. DO WHAT ONE CAN DO NOW WHEN ONE CAN DO SO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
