MIsty Fjords floatplane at the pier

[rshillman]

What is the liklihood of getting a floatplane trip (for 3) without pre-booking?
RCL Radiance of the Seas in Ketchikan June 17th.
Are they priced less at the dock than the average posted price of $199 ?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Go to the web-site for the Ketchikan Visitor's Bureau. The companies offering flight seeing tours and information re: contacting them are listed.

Prices will be similar whether you buy on board or on the dock.

Check out: Island Wings, SouthEast Aviation or Carlin Air. Michelle at Island Wings has an excellent reputation for giving a quality narrated flight.

Whether you will be able to book while you are in town depends upon the number of ships visiting that particular day. Ketchikan can have as many as 6 large and 2 small ships visiting at once. The ship's schedules can be viewed at the Ketchikan Visitor's Bureau site. Look for a section called "Cruise Ships" and locate the "Ship's calendar".

Thanks for the info.

Island wings cannot accomodate my party of 3 together on our date in Ketchikan, so I will have to book with someone else. Will probably get Toursaver book and go with Southeast Aviation

Can't wait for departure day!
