Description
Experience the thrill of a true Alaska glacier landing on this one-of-a-kind helicopter tour. Lift off from our Girdwood base (35 minutes south of Anchorage) and take in sweeping views of the Chugach Mountains, remote valleys, and massive glaciers. In spring and summer, vibrant blue meltwater pools appear across the ice, offering unforgettable photo opportunities. Your tour includes a 30-minute glacier landing, giving you time to step onto the ice, explore with your pilot, and enjoy panoramic mountain views. Keep an eye out for wildlife—moose, bears, Dall sheep, and mountain goats are often seen in the backcountry below. Fly with confidence knowing Alpine Air Alaska is the region’s most experienced helicopter tour company, trusted for over 30 years for our expert local pilots and strong safety record. Roundtrip shuttle from Anchorage is not included but may be added for an additional fee. Minimum 2 guests required for this tour. Solo passengers may be rescheduled.
