The adrenaline rush as you take off, the fascinating narration from your pilot, and the mountain, forest, and water landscapes below will stay in your memory for many years after your tour is finished. 

You won’t find a better value helicopter experience than the Herring Cove Helicopter Excursion. This low-cost but high-excitement flight will soar you over the beautiful Revillagigedo Island (where Ketchikan is located) taking in the salmon hatchery, the lush green foliage of the Tongass National Forest, and the twinkling waters of Revillagigedo Channel. Your pilot will talk you through what you’re seeing, so by the time you land, as well as being wowed by the views, you’ll also have a better understanding of the beautiful Ketchikan region.

The Ketchikan Combo Helicopter Tour will take you on a thrilling adventure over the best sights surrounding this quirky city. The pilot will swoop your helicopter over Revillagigedo Island, taking in the deep green trees of the Tongass National Forest, the gentle waters of the Inside Passage, and the stunning Mahoney Falls, a huge waterfall that plummets down the side of a steep tree-lined cliff.
