We went on one of your tours and it was terrific! We have a bet on whether the plane had floats with wheels tucked up inside it not, though. It was the yellow DeHavilland Otter that we flew in. We did the 45-60min glacier tour out of Juneau. I can send a pic of the plane, if needed. Thanks!

Greetings from Juneau! All of our aircraft have what's known as "straight-floats", basically all float access and no wheels. You were on our N337AK and that is a straight-float airplane. We use these because we are always traveling from water to water! Other companies may need the diversity of traveling from a water runway to a land runway and we call those "amphibs" or amphibious aircraft. There are many of those in Southeast Alaska because of the diversity of our traveling needs. Now Im curious who won the bet??? Thank you for flying with us! From our family to yours HAPPY HOLIDAYS!! All the best, Holly
I am curious about the float plane ride. If you have a tendency to get motion sickness, would this flight be a bad idea? I only get queasy on a regular airplane if I can't see out while taxiing while still on the ground. Once in the air, I'm fine.
A:
My friend who gets motion sickness did great. We drank ginger tea and chewed ginger candy beforehand and did fine. Great excursion
