For over 20 years, Rolan Ruoss has been flying sportsmen, tourists, and local Alaskans throughout our Islands, serving their recreational, business, and personal flying needs year-round from our base in the city of Kodiak.

The Weather here changes often and can frustrate the best laid plans. We recommend that you allow extra days in your itinerary for Weather delays and be prepared to alter the timing of activities during your Kodiak visit. The Scenery and Wildlife will reward your patience.

Rolan Ruoss, the current owner of the Company, started flying Kodiak Island in 1979, joined Sea Hawk Air in 1986, and has accumulated over 15,000 hours of Kodiak area flying in de Havilland Beaver seaplanes. Rolan operates the Company as a single-pilot service and his years of experience are recognized by our many repeat customers as an excellent reason to fly Sea Hawk Air.

.........."Before arriving in Kodiak, I thought that we would view a bear from the plane, perhaps landing for a little while to get a distant view. You can imagine how surprised and happy I was to spend HOURS observing the BEARS (at least 10) at close range, walking through the beautiful landscape and even seeing a Wolf! It was one of the best experiences in my life! Jo is such a knowledgable and patient guide, explaining the intricacies of bear behavior, ecology and conservation. Your company provides a rare glimpse into the life of the bears in the wild, and it is impossible to leave with anything short of respect, appreciation and a desire to learn more about these amazing animals. The entire experience, including the sea plane ride and lunch, was phenomenal.
Thank you!!!".........Jennifer Schultz
