Excursion Overview

Fly Over Seward’s Glaciers and Fjords with Scenic Landing

Lift off from Seward and leave the crowds behind as you soar above jagged coastline, dense forests, and massive glaciers on this 1-hour Kenai Fjords helicopter tour. Drift over Bear Glacier, the largest in the park, and peer down on crevassed ice, waterfalls, and iceberg-strewn lagoons. Keep watch for moose grazing along the shore, Dall sheep on rocky ridges, or seabirds riding the coastal winds, Alaska’s wild inhabitants are as spectacular as the scenery itself. This light-activity flight is designed for guests of all ages, offering a front-row seat to some of the state’s most dramatic landscapes.

Touch down on a remote beach or a high alpine ridge for 20–30 minutes of exploration, photography, and pure immersion in the wilderness. Stroll along ice-mottled lakes, gaze across sweeping mountain and icefield vistas, and feel the quiet majesty of a place few ever reach. Guided by an expert pilot, this Seward glacier adventure blends breathtaking flightseeing with intimate, up-close encounters with the raw beauty of Kenai Fjords National Park.

This tour is typically available from May through September. Our excursions were designed for cruise ship passengers but are available to everyone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Wear layered clothing with a weather-resistant outer layer. Sturdy, closed-toe shoes are required for walking on uneven surfaces during landings. Sunglasses are recommended for glare from snow and ice, and a camera is encouraged for capturing the scenery.

For a worry-free day, we highly recommend storing your luggage at your hotel or the Seward Train Depot before embarking on the tour. We also recommend seeing if your cruise line can transfer your bags directly to your hotel or the Train Depot for you. We can hold your luggage, but only during the time of the tour.

We recommend booking this tour earlier in the day when possible, as it allows more flexibility to adjust your flight if weather conditions change. With departures available throughout the day, you can still choose a time that best fits your schedule.

No. Due to FAA regulations for the helicopters that we fly, we cannot fly anyone over 300lbs. This weight includes all clothes/gear guest may be wearing.

No. Passengers under 24 months are required to sit on a guardian's lap. You must be able to get in and out of the helicopter without assistance.

We fly as long as visibility permits us to do so. Our flights generally go out unless there is a considerable amount of cloud coverage or high winds. We have an impeccable safety record and only fly if the conditions warrant.

Our helicopters can accommodate 3 or 4 passengers in addition to the pilot.

There are 2 helicopters available throughout most of the summer season. If you are part of a large group and give us advance warning, we will try to make more machines available.

We fly Robinson R44 and R66 helicopters.

Wildlife is abundant in Alaska and sightings are possible on any tour. Typically we see moose, dall sheep, mountain goats and sometimes bears depending on the time of year. However, this is not a designated wildlife tour and nothing can be guaranteed.
