You and your guide will participate in a few jumps into the glacial lake, making you feel as comfortable as possible getting in and out of the water. This will help to understand the drysuit / Personal Flotation Device system in the event you lose your balance on the paddleboard in the lake, you will feel prepared to get back on. Once you feel ready to take on your paddle, we will connect you to your leash and send you off into the lake for a serene paddle out and back to the end of the lake.

5.00Absolutely incredible from start to finish! The helicopter ride offered jaw-dropping glacier views, and paddle boarding on that turquoise water felt magical and completely private. Smooth, safe, and perfectly organized — an unforgettable, must-do experience!

5.00This Helicopter and Glacier Paddle Boarding tour was hands down one of the most stunning and unique experiences I’ve ever had! The views were absolutely breathtaking from start to finish. We spent the majority of our time paddle boarding through incredible supraglacial melt ponds and exploring icy tunnels — the flexible schedule allowed us to really immerse ourselves in the landscape. The guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and always made sure we were safe. I even discovered a new tunnel during the tour, and they helped assess its safety before guiding us through. When the water got too shallow for paddle boarding, they were quick to assist and ensure everyone was comfortable. And yes — we even got to swim in the glacier! An absolutely surreal and once-in-a-lifetime moment. If you're looking for a truly epic outdoor adventure, this is it. 100% recommend!
Best experience in Alaska!! 🚁❄️ 🏔️

5.00This was the highlight of my entire Alaska trip! Huge thanks to our awesome pilot Sam, we saw a black bear 🐻 running uphill and a moose 🫎 drinking by a creek during the flight 🐾. Even bigger thanks to our guides Szymon and Taval, they made everything fun and unforgettable. We went paddle boarding, jumped into glacier water, and even climbed ice! 🧊💦 I’ll remember this day for the rest of my life and recommend it to everyone I know. Can’t wait to come back someday! 💙✨
