About us
SeaWind Aviation is a family operation committed to providing the finest of Alaska, including flightseeing in the Misty Fjords, viewing wildlife on a bear viewing tour, fishing or enjoying crab feasts, or simply embarking on an air charter in the Southeast Alaska panhandle.
Our Alaska-based business was founded on experience and knowledge that dates back through generations of seaplane and floatplane adventures. Seawind Aviation has been a top-rated tour operator since its inception and we invite you to experience the difference between our airline in Ketchikan.
What makes a SeaWind Aviation tour different from the tours offered on our cruise ship or by the larger operators?
Our tours are much more personal. You don’t have to compete with large groups of cruise ship passengers for available seats and where you’re called aboard by number.
Owner and pilot, Steve Kamm and his crew of pilots have over 50 years of flying experience in Southeast Alaska. Unlike the larger operations, we don’t have seasonal pilots that migrate up to Ketchikan Alaska in the summer with little experience or are getting first-time experience flying in the Southeast panhandle.
We pick you up in our van on the dock where your ship moors and drive you 3-5 minutes directly to our dock. Your van ride is complimentary and not part of your tour price – others may charge or leave it up to you entirely.
Your tour is longer with us. Unlike many other flightseeing operations in Ketchikan Alaska, your tour starts when you depart on the plane and NOT when you get in our van. We don’t understand it either.
Each flight is unique. We do go to the shoreline on our Misty Fjords flights and let you out on land to walk a bit, take pictures, and breathe in the fresh air. There are exceptions when we have the opportunity to see wildlife up close, especially bears or whales. If we do, feel free to step out onto the floats for some great pictures!

What we'll do
Seawind Aviation’s guided Ketchikan fly-in fishing trips to the Misty Fjords National Monument take anglers to extraordinary places. Our guests experience a scenic chartered flight that ends on a lake-and-stream system where very few people are privileged to go each year. Most of the hand-picked lakes in Misty Fjords receive just a handful of visitors each summer making these fishing holes gorgeous and serene. The fly fishing for Alaska trout is superb and these guided trips are for spin or fly fishermen, novice or experienced. Choose a zone, grab a few friends, and then let’s go fishing.
*Protected Wilderness Areas:
Our fishing guides live in Ketchikan and have been on the water most of their lives. They are a perfect match to take you into the Misty Fjords National Monument for a wilderness fishing experience you won’t soon forget. After a scenic and narrated flight, you will touch down on a pristine freshwater lake where world class fishing awaits. Lake selection will be based on the current quality of fishing, the scenery, and the current / forecasted weather conditions. Due to the limited number of permits allowed on those wilderness lakes, the experience is usually undisturbed and pristine.
*The Amenities:
All fly-in fishing trips include a licensed guide, box lunch, snacks, bottled water, raincoats, and fishing equipment (if needed). Fishing equipment includes a fly rod (or spin casting rod), flies (or spinners), and Gore-Tex waders. All ground transportation in Ketchikan is included with a pick-up and drop-off at the Ketchikan Visitors Information Center (the building behind our courtesy van) in front of Ketchikan’s “Liquid Sunshine Gauge” on the cruise ship dock. Our fishing guides are avid fishermen and love the Alaska outdoors. They understand how to safely enjoy Alaska’s beautiful backcountry.
