OVERVIEW

Fly over the majestic wilds of the Tongass National Forest in a floatplane and land in the waters off Salmon Falls resort, where you will feast on iconic Alaskan dishes. You will fly there in a DeHavilland Beaver aircraft – the workhorse of the Alaskan bush – on a route over America’s largest national forest and the crystal-clear waterways that rim Revillagigedo Island. The pilot will describe the natural wonders below, which include sea cliffs, deep fjords and mist-shrouded peaks. You may even spot black bears foraging on berries and humpback whales breaching the water’s surface. Shortly after the plane lands in Clover Pass Inlet, you will enjoy an enlightening tour of the fishing resort and then sit down to a classic Alaskan lunch. Come hungry as you can expect to dine on signature dishes that may include crab cakes, soy-glazed salmon and baked halibut with garlic lemon butter. Dessert will be just as mouthwatering. Once finished with the meal you will be driven back to the ship.
