Marvel at vistas seen by few -- high alpine lakes, 'icefalls' hanging from sheer cliffs, and some of the most remote peaks and glaciers on the Juneau Icefield.
Your pilot will create the best possible flightseeing based on the weather and glacier conditions.
You'll land in two different locations, leaving the helicopter for a brief glacier stroll. During these two landings, you will learn about the environmental and geological processes at work, creating moraines, crevasses, seracs, and the glaciers themselves.
Notes:
This tour can be cancelled without penalty either on the day your voyage commences or up until 12 noon on Day two of your voyage. Cancellations thereafter are non-refundable. Tablets, iPads, Go-Pro sticks, and drones are not allowed on the flights to ensure a full field of vision for pilots and guests alike. Glacier boots are provided. For security purposes, no bags are allowed on the flight. Guests weighing 250 lbs or more (fully clothed) must pay an additional surcharge over the published fare. Every guest will be weighed at check-in. The tour operator will endeavor to be discreet during this process, but please be aware that individual circumstances may not allow for complete privacy. Time spent on the glacier is approximate and may vary due to weather and glacial conditions. Guests must be able to get into and out of the helicopter and walk approximately 30 yards from the building to the helicopter. Employees can give a helping hand into and out of the helicopters but are not allowed to lift or carry a guest. Guests can remain on board the helicopter during the landings if they wish. Canes, crutches, walkers, etc., cannot be taken on the flight. Infants up to and including the day before their second birthday can be considered a lap child and should be added to the parent's weight they will be sitting on and are at no cost. Thereafter, each child is required by FAA to have a seat and will be charged accordingly.
