We have booked our 3rd trip with Capt Larry for this May, we have booked a back to back with him.
Island Wings in Ketchikan have been recommended several times on these boards for the Misty Fjords flight. We have booked with them also. We did try a couple of years ago to take the trip with them but the weather was so bad they said it wasn't worth the flight as you wouldn't be able to see anything. They refunded all our money.
On the other hand people we met who had booked through the cruiselines didi the flight over the Misty Fjords as they were not given a choice and said it was dismal, nothing to be seen due to the heavy rains.

We took the Eagle Float trip out of Skagway on our first cruise to Alaska and it is one of our favourites! Very scenic and lots of eagles to be seen. It seems some people have had trouble with mosquitoes on this trip but we were lucky we didn't, we did the trip at the end of August /September.

Hope everyone has a wonderful time whatever they decide to do!

[QUOTE="BarbaraK, post: 721261"] We have booked our 3rd trip with Capt Larry for this May, we have booked a back to back with him. :) Island Wings in Ketchikan have been recommended several times on these boards for the Misty Fjords flight. We have booked with them also. We did try a couple of years ago to take the trip with them but the weather was so bad they said it wasn't worth the flight as you wouldn't be able to see anything. They refunded all our money. On the other hand people we met who had booked through the cruiselines didi the flight over the Misty Fjords as they were not given a choice and said it was dismal, nothing to be seen due to the heavy rains.
