Anchorage · ANCHORAGE FLIGHTSEEING & HELICOPTER TOURS
10 reviewed
Most of Alaska has no road to it, and a small plane or helicopter is how you reach it. These are the best flightseeing tours from Anchorage, from glacier landings to bear-viewing flights, with flight times, whether you touch down on the ice, and which give the most air time for the money.
Grand Knik helicopter tour pairs a smooth flight with up to 3 glacier landings and a guided hike, departing from the Palmer area.
“Absolutely worth it! Turner, our pilot, made us feel safe and our 3 landings were unbelievable. We especially loved the cascade glacier. He found us a mountain goat, bear and a moose, too.”
Helicopter to Punchbowl Glacier for guided dog sledding with Iditarod stories in a small group from Girdwood.
“Such an amazing and memorable experience! Everybody was so nice, the dogs were so amazing and well loved. The helicopter ride was short, but beautiful, and the mushing on the glacier was phenomenal! So much fun!”
Fly by helicopter to Godwin Glacier, ride real huskies on snow, and warm up at a professional dog camp near Seward for about 90 minutes.
“Helicopter ride is very scenic and the top of the glacier looks surreal. The dogs are beyond impressive and the puppies are adorable.”
A scenic Denali flight from Talkeetna with optional glacier landing, pilot narration, and views of the Wickersham Wall from above.
“Beautiful views. Richard, our pilot, did a good job of pointing out the glaciers and different mountains. The glacier landing was cool.”
Talkeetna Denali flight with a real glacier landing. Window seats, headset narration, and Ruth Glacier overboots in a small group.
“The flight was awesome! Well worth the price. The pilot was professional and knowledgeable about Denali and the glaciers. He did a great job flying the aircraft and as a pilot myself, I was impressed with the whole experience including the folks in the office and on the ramp. The flight around the mountains and around the sunlit clouds is breathtaking. Well done”
Fly the Knik River Valley and land on the Knik Glacier for a 30-minute walk on thousand-year-old ice from Anchorage.
“Tour bellissimo, sopra le aspettative, mezz’ora sul ghiacciaio e volo stupendo”
30-minute Seward helicopter intro flight to Godwin Glacier with 15 minutes of glacier views, Resurrection Bay ice, and a quick landing stop.
“Our Glacier landing was scheduled for 11am and it was raining and cloudy, but the excursion left on time and my daughter and I are glad it did. We had a GREAT time. The ladies in the office were friendly and even helped us decide where to eat afterwards. The pilot was informative and professional. Since it was raining hard at the glacier we only stayed for about 10 minutes but the pilot took the extra time to fly us around a little longer on the way back to the airport. We say three bull moose and several other animals. It was my daughters first helicopter flight and she loved…”
Fly from Seward to Bear and Aialik Glaciers on a small-group 45-minute helicopter flight with bird’s-eye Kenai Fjords views.
