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 Ice Field.
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:
Time spent on the glacier is approximate and may vary due to weather and glacial conditions. Tour requires walking approximately 30 yards from the building to the helicopter. This tour can be cancelled without penalty on the day your voyage commences. Cancellations thereafter are non-refundable. Wear sunglasses. Glacier boots are provided. Guests weighing 250 lbs or more (fully clothed) pay an additional surcharge over the published fare. Every guest is weighed at check-in. The tour operator endeavors to be discreet, but individual circumstances may not allow for complete privacy. The pilot alone decides if weather conditions are suitable for flightseeing. If the flight is canceled due to weather conditions, you will receive a full refund. The pilot decides where each guest sits based on weight and balance requirements. Bags cannot be taken on the flight; a secure location is provided for storing personal items. iPads, iPad minis, tablets, drones, and selfie sticks or other extendable items are not permitted. For optimal photography and views, wear darker-colored clothing to reduce window reflections. Mobility devices of any kind cannot be brought onto the aircraft. Participants must be able to take two 18-inch steps into and out of the helicopter and walk approximately 100 yards. Employees can give a helping hand into and out of the helicopters but are not allowed to lift or carry a guest. Mobility devices of any kind cannot be brought onto the aircraft. 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.
