Our signature flightseeing and glacier landing tour, includes 30 mins of flightseeing and 30 mins landed at 3 Glacier areas including on the glacier itself. This tour includes an alpine landing where you will have 30 mins to see the grand size of the 5 mile wide and 29 mile long Knik Glacier with a birds eye view. Your 2nd landing takes you to a 100 foot ice wall where you may even be able to see the massive ice calve . After 30 minutes exploring you go to the glacier landing right in the middle of Knik Glacier, where you can get out of the helicopter and spend about 30 minutes exploring ancient ice.

First time in a helicopter (scratch one off of the Bucket List); Pilot was GREAT - very knowledgeable, friendly and courteous; Flights were smooth despite some wind and landings were good also; Safety was observed at all times; 3 outings were diverse so we got to see different aspects of the glacier; Saw 7 mountain goats, one small black bear and 3 moose. GREAT FUN! Well worth the price.
