Mid flight there will be a thrilling landing on a remote alpine lake, or perhaps a fjord or protected bay, enabling you to step out on the floats to marvel at the incredible sights.

A lively commentary by your expert pilot will entertain and inform you. special video camera jacks enable you to capture this experience complete with music and narration, while large windows ensure you don't miss a thing.

A 16-page complimentary route guide filled with maps and descriptions of the area's scenery, wildlife and history will help you keep track of the sights. From the quaint waterfront community to the far reaches of the wilderness, you'll experience an Alaska few have ever seen.
