Royale Air Service is the only Air Transportation to Isle Royale and is an Authorized Concessioner of the National Park Service.
|
As the only air service, we are by far the quickest and most exciting way to reach the Park. In our seaplanes everyone gets a window seat and with your pilot as your personal tour guide, it is a sight-seeing flight you won't soon forget. In fact, we have many passengers whose sole purpose of going to Isle Royale is to experience our flight. The National Park lies in the deep blue waters of Lake Superior, 70 miles due north of the Michigan peninsula.

| We make regular runway takeoffs and landings at Houghton County Airport and smooth water landings and takeoffs in the protected bays at Windigo and Rock Harbor. Operating an amphibious Cessna 206, we can carry up to 4 passengers plus the pilot with 50 pounds of gear per person. You'll be able to board our plane at the airport, enjoy breathtaking views of the Keweenaw Peninsula of Michigan and Isle Royale, and step onto the dock at the Park a mere 35 minutes later.
