Soak up spectacular aerial views of Alaskan wilderness then land on a glacier and explore it up close on this bucket list helicopter tour!
Knik Glacier comes down from Mount Marcus Baker, the highest peak in the Chugach Range. Over 25 miles long and more than 5 miles wide, this is one of the largest glaciers in South Central Alaska with vertical ice walls that rise straight out of the lake. On this exciting 1-hour tour, you’ll land on this National Natural Landmark and explore its fascinating beauty up close!
Climb aboard your FAA Certified helicopter, hear the rotors rev to life, and feel the rush of a vertical ascent as your pilot lifts you expertly off the ground. From your comfortable seat, you’ll see breathtaking views as you fly over the majestic Chugach Range, Knik Glacier, Colony Glacier and more.
Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife like moose, Dall sheep, and maybe even a bear. Snap photos of glacial crevasses, moulins, glacial rivers, and water falls before heading down to the glacier for an opportunity to experience these things up close and in person.
Land right in the middle of the Knik Glacier and venture across the ice. Listen as your guide shares about the life cycle of glaciers and why they are so important to human life. Explore the fascinating features of the glacier like the blue melt pools, deep crevasses, and ice ‘sculptures’ created by wind, sun, and time. Take plenty of photos to memorialize your trip before boarding the helicopter and heading back to base.
