Glacier Discovery Tour via Helicopter - Skagway, Alaska

On this Skagway glacier tour via helicopter, you'll leave all traces of civilization behind and experience the infinite beauty of Alaska's remote glaciers.

From the pier, a short transfer brings you to the heliport where, following a safety video, you are outfitted with boots and vests and loaded onto the helicopter. Lift off from the historic Skagway waterfront and head into a rugged region of sheer mountains, majestic valleys and massive glaciers for the ultimate glacier discovery tour via helicopter.

Flight routes and landing zones are selected daily based on the weather forecast to ensure that you will see the best sights that the area has to offer. Jagged peaks towering over the Chilkat Glacier, cascading waterfalls surrounding the Ferebee Glacier, or the spectacular "river of ice" known as the Meade Glacier, may be among the wonders you will encounter in your 40 minutes of flight time!

Once you have reached your glacial destination, you are given the rare opportunity to explore one of Mother Nature's greatest marvels. Enjoy a walking exploration of the river of ice, while experienced glacier guides answer your questions and explain the awesome forces at work below your feet. With another 20 minutes on the glacier, you have plenty of time to wander, snap some pictures, and revel in the beauty.
