This spectacular small-group tour across Juneau’s Icefield will take you off the beaten track, and away from typical flightseeing routes. You will spend a thrilling 50 minutes of flight time and 30 minutes of landings in the company of your friendly helicopter pilot, who will introduce you to the kinds of places the pilots generally keep to themselves, on this intimate once-in-a-lifetime tour. You and your pilot will choose the two different landings amongst the 36 named glacier coming off the 1,500 square miles of the Juneau Icefield. Glaciers such as the Herbert, Norris, Gilkey, Hole in the Wall, or Mendenhall are a few of the possibilities. Once on the ice, your pilot will also act as your guide, and you will have the opportunity to explore and take photographs of the stunning, untouched landscape, before heading back to port.
Special Note: Duration of the tour is approximate as transportation to heliport, flight routes and the time spent on the glacier may vary due to weather, road and glacier conditions.
