This is our most popular tour, with 30 minutes of actual airtime as you take in the spectacular features of the Coast Range Mountains, North America’s youngest mountain range. Fly over the traditional lands of the Tsimshian First Nation and witness dense coastal rainforest and extensive muskeg flats that form the Tsimshian Peninsula.

Then its up and over to Quatoon Inlet to fly by the remarkable waterfall that feeds the inlet and experience the breathtaking scenery carved out by the glaciers. From here, its south to follow the Skeena River to its mouth at the sea, and then back along island-lined Inverness Passage dotted with abandoned settlements of ‘old cannery row’.

Misty Mountain Fjord Tour (903)
Departing from Prince Rupert, our trip combines aerial highlights of glacial valleys and rarely-visited snow-capped peaks and icefields with spectacular coastal and mountain vistas.
We depart Seal Cove for the rugged Khutzeymateen, a granite-walled fjord renowned for its unparalleled beauty and protected grizzly bear population. You'll see U-shaped valleys, cirques carved by glaciers, and remarkable gem-coloured lakes at high elevations. We'll watch for bears and goats in sub-alpine meadows, and look for orcas and humpback whales that feed in Work Channel.
We'll fly on to the ice shield that feeds our area rivers for breathtaking views of glacier peaks. We'll over-fly some snowfields and fly at right angles to others to get a sense of the depth and breadth of their natural wonder.
Then, you choose the route back to Prince Rupert, and track either southeast through more rugged Coast Range, or head south to see the contrasting backgrounds of mountain and sea.
