Land on a glacier and take to the skies on this Juneau adventure by helicopter!

This adventure begins with a short drive from downtown Juneau to our private heliport on Douglas Island. Here, you will be outfitted with glacier overboots, wind/rain protective pants, and a flotation device. Our professional staff will provide a thorough safety briefing before helping you load into one of our A-Star helicopters.

Your pilot will choose one of many scenic routes to fly over the lush Tongass National Rainforest and dramatic mountain peaks surrounding flows of ice. Next, you'll land on one of the many local glaciers where photo opportunities abound. Your pilot will guide your 30-minute exploration of the surface where you will enjoy discovering the natural features of the glacier. After exploring the surface of the glacier, your pilot will return you on a short, scenic flight back to our heliport. Our comfortable vans will then return you to your pick-up point.

With viewing opportunities of the glacier's deep blue crevasses and the surrounding mountain peaks, this tour is sure to be a highlight of your Alaskan experience.

This tour is designed for most ages and physical abilities to enjoy with a light amount of walking over relatively flat to rolling terrain. The pilot will land on one of the local glaciers from the Juneau Icefield for approximately 30 minutes. Flight plans are determined by local weather conditions. Guests must be able to walk unassisted for the duration of the tour on moderately flat but uneven terrain. You will be outfitted with glacier overboots, wind/rain protective pants, and a flotation device.

This excursion operates in late August and September only.
