Know More about this tour

The helicopter leaves from Seward, Alaska's local airport, and the views from the flight up to the ice are spectacular. After flying through an alpine canyon, the helicopter lands relatively close to glacier access just a short hike to the ice.

With guidance, hike deep into the glaciers crevasse fields on a tour to get up close with the awesome power and beauty of this massive mountain of ice. Up higher, in the faster moving sections of the glacier where the landscape is still being created, it's possible to almost feel the ancient flow of ice make its way down the valley.

After the hiking tour is done, the helicopter takes a thrilling canyon run down the mountain and over Resurrection Bay back to Seward.

This tour provides the hardy hiker with three hours of exploration, plenty of time to become intimately acquainted with what feels like another world.
