OVERVIEW

Discover the diversity of the southeast Alaska landscape via helicopter as you fly over temperate rainforests and granite peaks that surround Alaska’s capital city. After your flightseeing tour, your pilot will land at our trekking site on the Mendenhall Glacier. Your guide will teach you how to use trekking poles and crampons for balance and traction, enabling you to travel easily on gently rolling glacial terrain. During this non-strenuous, one-hour interpretive walk, your guide will point out and explain the glacier features and allow you ample time for photos.

No experience is necessary. Guests are outfitted in wind and waterproof outerwear, hard shell mountaineering boots with crampons, gloves, a waist pack complete with a granola bar and water, and a trekking pole for added stability on the glacier. Dress in comfortable layers, wear mid-length socks, and bring sunglasses. No bags, loose items or tablets are allowed on board the helicopter, safe storage is provided at the base. Group seating is not guaranteed although every effort will be made to seat groups together. Due to aircraft weight and balance limitations, the flight company charges an additional rate for passengers that weigh 250 lbs. or more fully clothed. Space is capacity controlled, please call (11) 3177 3131 for assistance. We arrange seating based on the weight, balance, safety, and comfort of the whole departure, and cannot guarantee that we will be able to keep groups together on the aircraft. Please note that we will do everything possible to keep groups together for the flight portion of the tour, but we are sometimes required to split a group between multiple helicopters. All groups will be together for the glacier portion of the tour.
