Float Plane Tours

For a Bird’s Eye View…

Timber Bay is now a registered airbase, so you can fly in or out any time you’d like. We also boast the best aerial tour guide in the region, Jeremy Harmon with Higher Ground Aviation. As an FAA Licensed Air Tour Operator, he brings over 7,000 hours of backcountry flying and instruction experience to provide personalized service in his vintage 1960 Cessna 180 Skywagon.
