Would never book with them again. Arrived an hour and a half early, waited until our flight time and were told it was too foggy to fly. It was an absolutely clear day and several other helicopters and float planes went flying by. Spent $50 on a cab ride to get there, had they told us right away they didn’t want to take us, we could’ve gone a different route. Disappointed is an understatement. This was to be the highlight of our cruise and instead it wrecked it. Dont trust these people.

The company cancelled and other companies with same tour were running!!! So disappointed and not even apologetic about cancellation…. I have always had great success using La Vacanza Travel but not this time. Ruined our day as the call came 10 minutes before the tour left so couldn’t do anything else……

Joe was an awesome/knowledgeable pilot. The views are incredible and joe spotted 3 bears and mountain goats. The operators were super convenient and very easy to work with. The tour is worth ever penny

The pilot made it the best experience, sharing his personal stories of growing up in the area. Highly recommend this tour.

The staff and pilot at Taquan did an amazing job!! Had a seamless pickup and drive to the flight location. The weather in Ketchikan was foggy & rainy and we feared the flight would be cancelled. The pilot was able to find an alternative flight route so that we could still see the beauty of the Misty Fjord. Highly recommend!! Thank you!
