On this beautiful 45-minute scenic tour you will fly over the Bear Glacier and Aialik Glacier areas.
Not only is Bear Glacier the largest glacier coming off the Harding Icefield, but its lagoon also features impressive and expansive icebergs that you can see from the air. This glacier is the most East and marks the beginning of the Kenai Fjords National Park. It measures at 13 miles long and is a sight to behold!
You'll continue next to the Aialik Glacier. With an impressive ice wall that is over 500 feet high, watch for calving on this incredible glacier. You'll have a chance to get up close to icebergs on this stunning tour, so have your cameras ready! There is also a lot of wildlife in this area, so keep a lookout and take some time to appreciate the grandeur of Alaska's environments on this flight!
