    Great tour! I did a ton of research before booking with Mountain Air Service. Yes, at first…read moreglance, this tour is a little more expensive than others in Ketchikan, but note that Mountain Air Service provides a tour that's significantly longer in duration. Everything went off without a hitch. We were picked up at the Ketchikan Visitors Center at the designated time and shuttled over to the dock. Randy loaded us up and we took off not long after. Throughout the flight, we were provided with a lot of history about the region and everything we were flying over. We landed in a secluded part of the fjord and Randy took us for a short walk into the forest, even pointing out some wild blueberries the bears missed. On our return leg, Randy flew a little lower than on the way out to provide a different perspective of the region. He also spotted some goats on the mountainside and took a minor detour to look for more. Overall, we found Randy and Mountain Air Service to be extremely professional, safe and honest. Randy comes off as almost too modest about his services and tours. If you're looking for a Misty Fjords tour, book with Randy. You will not regret it.

    Awesome flight through the Fiords ! Randy is a very personable guy , easy going and informative…read more VERY good pilot too, I felt comfortable right away , I've been in high performance airplanes as well as the Cessna's and you can tell who is skillful , great experience ! I was on a cruise and while they will certainly book a flight for you , I more like to deal with local folks direct as it is more money in their pocket as well as yours ! The cruise lines seem like they want to overcharge for everything from oxygen to cocktails . Call Mountain Air Service direct !

    Hands down the highlight of our Alaskan cruise. We called two days before to see if we could…read morepossibly get on a helicopter last minute. Our cruise had canceled our Juneau port and so any helicopter tours there were cancelled, so we were pretty bummed and hoped that Ketchikan would be a little better when it came to getting on a helicopter. My husband booked the flight with the nicest woman over the phone who didn't make us feel pressured in any way. She was super informative and sweet. Our email told us to meet someone from the company near the bronze statue near berth 2, so we waited a few minutes and no one approached us and there wasn't anyone with a sign for the company, so we were a little confused at first. Eventually we were able to find the person picking us up and he was apologetic that he didn't have the sign on him, so no worries there. The tour headquarters is one of the comfiest places I've been, it was so welcoming and everyone is just so nice. We were given a safety demo and Ryan Maehs flew us in one of the cleanest helicopters I've ever seen. Ryan was super knowledgeable and took us to see great wildlife and even landed for about 20 or so minutes while we were able to put our feet in the water and enjoy Alaskan nature away from the crowds. Truly an awe-inspiring moment. Thank you, Ketchikan Helicopters, for being so great. And thank you, Ryan, for putting up with us and allowing us to enjoy Alaska.

    My husband, son and I were in Alaska on a Disney cruise and I had specifically left our stop in…read moreKetchikan free of excursions while planning our trip. After my husband enjoyed the excursions at the other two stops on the cruise, he asked if we could book something for our day in Ketchikan, hopefully a helicopter tour. So the night before we docked, I looked on Yelp and found Ketchikan Helicopters and explored their website for almost an hour. I emailed Ryan at Ketchikan Helicopters and he responded very quickly with all of the information I needed. When we pulled into port the next morning, I was able to call Ryan and finalize the details for our trip. Ryan made it extremely easy to find him when it came time for the tour. He was so welcoming and reassuring. And he went out of his way to build a rapport with our six-year-old son, who very quickly lost all anxiety about going up in a helicopter for the first time. My husband is retired from the Army and he immediately felt comfortable with the helicopter given it's immaculate condition, which helped me feel more relaxed. (I had never been on a helicopter, so I have no idea what a well-maintained helicopter looks like. My husband on the other hand has been on dozens and dozens of helicopters.) Ryan made sure we experienced everything we asked for with the tour. He was able to take us where we saw five black bears. He sat the helicopter down for 20 minutes and let us explore the terrain ourselves. (This was amazing! It was so beautiful. It gave us our first experience in Alaska where we were far removed from anyone, which is rare for people who tour Alaska by cruise, but is common for backpackers.) It was a long tour and we felt we really got our money's worth for the excursion. We felt safe with Ryan's decades of experience and his well-maintained helicopter. And the landscape he flew us over was breathtaking. Words and photos can't come close to doing it justice. What's really cool is that both my son and my husband say this way the highlight of the trip for them. I think that's a pretty good endorsement, given the six-year-old really enjoyed all Disney was offering on the ship and my husband had a trip to Alaska on his bucket list.. Everything about the helicopter tour was wonderful. It was very easy to book it, even with very short notice. Ryan was not only a skilled pilot, he was also very warm and informative. You can book your tour with confidence.

    Ketchikan Helicopters - Look how comfortable the six-year-old is. Ryan, the pilot, went out of his way to ensure our son was relaxed and happy.
