Excursion Overview

View historical Ketchikan from up above!

This is a one-of-a-kind tour highlighting the townsite of Ketchikan in a manageable 10-15 minute scenic flight that allows guests to take photos of their cruise ship, and of the town.

Ketchikan isn't a huge city, so this is the perfect amount of time to take it all in from the sky. Your pilot guide will point out the highlights and do their best to give you the best viewing angles of SE Alaska.

Guests may also get the chance to see some of Alaska's most notable wildlife while airborne! Sit back, relax, and enjoy your ride!

After the tour, you will be transported back to your cruise ship terminal which is within walking distance of the local shops and eateries.

Fantastic tour! We were running late getting there but they were very accommodating to ensure we did not miss out on our trip. This was a great quick way to see Ketchikan from above and experience a quick trip in a helicopter. It was a blast!

We absolutely enjoyed the helicopter tour and to boot, we saved money. The two folks that handled this excursion were so sweet and both are assets to this excursion company. Would certainly take this excursion again in the future.

Great experience thank you. Our pilot was very knowledgeable. Due to another helicopter in the vicinity we were lucky enough to have extra time in the air.

Although we didn't do the normal route due to fog issues we still enjoy the tour of your beautiful Ketchikan. Oh and they gave us an option for refund but we want to go ahead. Thank you.

We were collected by a friendly girl on time who drove us to the helicopter pad - under 5 minutes away. We were given safety instructions, the girl took many photos for us on our own phone and off we went with our Spanish pilot. It was a four seater helicopter. I sat in the front beside the pilot and my husband sat behind me. He took us up, up and away to a stunningly beautiful lake over the top of the mountain, we saw a mountain goat, flew up the waterway and over the ship we were cruising on and back to base. It was an exhilarating experience and one to treasure in our memory bank. We were then driven back to the cruise terminal. All in all absolutely wonderful.
