Seward Grand Glaciers & Kenai Fjords Helicopter Adventure

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.

There are no age restrictions for this tour. Please select the appropriate ticket type during checkout.

Lockers and restrooms are available for guests at the Seward Airport area.

The pilot balances the helicopter based on the weight and number of passengers. We cannot make any promises for specific seat because safety cannot be compromised. If you have a preference ask the pilot and when it is safe the pilot will try to accommodate you.
