Anchorage Helicopter Tours

Knik Glacier Tour with Glacier Landing

---

Our signature flightseeing and glacier landing tour, available in three different versions. All tours include a glacier landing right in the middle of Knik Glacier, where you can get out of the helicopter and spend about 30 minutes exploring ice thousands of years old with your pilot/guide. See the azure blue melt pools, crevasses and the bizarre ice formations created by water, wind and the sun.

Highlights

Flight over the majestic Chugach Range, Whiteout Glacier, and landing on Knik Glacier Birds eye views of glacial crevasses, moulins, glacial rivers and water falls Land right on the glacier, and explore on foot with your pilot or guide Fly down the Great Gorge or the Knik, awarded National Landmark status for it's beauty Longer flight time means more chance of seeing wildlife

Itinerary

Three great options to choose from: 60 minute tour Best Value The 60 minute flight departs from our Chugach Adventure Base (April September) and takes you over the Knik river and glacier through the Great Gorge towards Whiteout Glacier, Colony Glacier and Lake George. We almost always see moose, mountain goats, bands of Dall sheep and often times bears. 75 minute tour Most popular The 75 minute tour is our most popular version as it includes everything you see on the 60 minute tour but adds more time to explore around Mount Gannet, Lake George Glacier or the upper Knik, depending on weather that day. 150 minute tour Available Year Round This tour departs from our base in downtown Anchorage and is available year round. This tour shows you all the scenery along the way ship creek, Eklutna Lake, plus the glaciers that you see on the shorter tours. More time in the air means more changes for wildlife. Great tour option in the winter months with the orange and purple light over the glaciers.
