Anchorage Heli Hiking

Experience the remote raw beauty of Alaska

Take a 20-minute flight over the Knik Glacier and land at your hiking location. There are numerous high alpine locations and glacier landing sites suited for your incredible experience. Most of the locations have a view of at least one glacier, sometimes you can see two or three! Based on the weather and glacier conditions, interests, and your hiking preference (leisurely hike vs. a steep scramble), your guide will suggest the best route. If you prefer, you can also land on top of a glacier and hike down to check out amazing glacier features.

Once you arrive at the starting point, your guide will help you get out of the helicopter which will return back to the lodge until your return flight. This tour is absolutely customizable. Simply let your guide know how you want to spend your 4 hours in nature. You can stop, relax, take pictures, or run up the ridge to see what is in the back at any time you want. The group size is typically 2 to 4 guests, and it will never be more than 6 guests per guide. If you have more than 6 people in your party, we can divide them into smaller groups with multiple guides.

If you are bringing tripods, multiple camera bodies, and big lenses for photographing, you can stay close to the landing zone and keep your gear nearby. Your guide is happy to wait with you for the perfect time for the best scenery and wildlife photo opportunities.
