Flightseeing tours and motion sickness

[cabland]

So my wife and I are headed back to Alaska for another cruise in June.  I, unfortunately, am prone to motion sickness to some degree.  During our last cruise we did the Tracy Arm small boar excursion and a helicopter ride to a glacier and I did OK (note: took Dramamine and wore wrist bands).  This time around I was originally going to book the same tours, but now am considering one of the small plane flightseeing tours - potentially the 5 glacier/Taku lodge tour out of Juneau or the Misty Fjords flightseeing tour out of Ketchikan.  The helicopter ride was crazy smooth, but I suspect the small float planes could be noticeably worse.  Does anyone have any feedback on these from a motion sickness perspective?

 

Thanks!

We did a flight seeing tour over the Misty Fjords with Island Wings and it was incredible this past May. The flight was so smooth and the air is the best way to see Alaska.  I highly recommend

The Taku Lodge flightseeing experience was amazing with breathtaking views.  Takeoffs and landings in the water were much softer than on concrete runways.  No radical turns were  made.  There was a minor vibration from the single engine but no bounding.  Every passenger had a window seat with accompanying headphones to hear the narration. 

 

The King salmon was caught the day before our dinner and the iced tea made with ice from the nearby Taku Glacier

 

Great glacier photos if you keep your camera lens with polarizing filter perpendicular to the window.
