Summary:
The whole experience was wonderful. Experiencing a trip on a sea plane was a bucket list item for us and it didn’t disappoint at all. Take off and landing was a real thrill and we loved it. Once we were at cruising height we marvelled at the vast expanse of Alaska and the lakes hidden in the mountains that we flew over.
We were looked after from start to finish and never felt rushed in any way.
Thank you.
