Alaska Helicopter Tour With Glacier Landing Near Anchorage
Palmer
1 hour
Make your own way to the meeting point, which is at a lodge outside Anchorage, or arrange pickup (additional fee) ahead of time. Give yourself plenty of time and check in 45 minutes before your scheduled departure time. Meet your guide and small group and board the helicopter. Soar over the astonishing wild Alaskan landscape of mountains, rivers, glaciers, and gorges before landing on the Knik Glacier. Embark on a guided hike over the glacier. If you book the tour in winter, between October and April, it may not be possible to land on top of the glacier due to snow cover so you’ll land next to the glacier, near massive ice formations, instead. Your tour ends with a flight back to the lodge.
