This brilliant one-hour helicopter tour provides flightseeing, numerous photo opportunities and a glacier landing.
You'll fly over the landscape of Valdez and the Chugach Mountains and look for wildlife from above. Then, your pilot will find the perfect place for you to land on top of a glacier.
Hop out onto the ice and drink some glacier water, throw rocks into a moulin, or just walk on the glacier and explore.
Notes:
Flight time is 30 minutes. Time on the glacier is 30 minutes. Dress warmly in layers with gloves, a scarf, and a hat; outer layer should be windproof and waterproof. Tour operates with a two-person minimum. Tours cannot be guaranteed to be private unless all seats in the helicopter are reserved and paid for. Maximum height is 6'6". Maximum weight is 290 lbs (132 kg). Guests weighing 250 lbs or more (fully clothed) pay an additional surcharge of $150 over the published fare directly to the tour operator just prior to the flight. 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. Children up to and including the day prior to their second birthday can be added (at no cost) to the parent's weight if seated on the parent's lap (maximum weight remains at 290 lbs); each child aged 2 years or older is required by the FAA to occupy a paid seat. Lap children cannot occupy front-row seats.
