Pilot's Choice Glacier Exploration

Enjoy an eagle's-eye view by helicopter of high alpine lakes, "icefalls" hanging from sheer cliffs, and some of the most remote peaks and glaciers in the Juneau Icefield. Your pilot will choose two different glacier landings among the 36 named glaciers stretched across 1,500 square miles of the Juneau Icefield; a few landing possibilities include the Herbert, Taku, Norris, Gilkey, Hole in the Wall or the famous Mendenhall Glacier. Moments after departing the Heli-base, you will enjoy a breathtaking view only seen by few. Your flight takes you over ice spires, deep blue crevasses, and meltwater pools. With approximately 50 minutes of helicopter time, you will have plenty of opportunities to take in the incredible views. During the two approximately 15-minute landings you will have the opportunity to explore, take photographs, and get an up-close opportunity to appreciate this ancient landscape. On the ice, your pilot will escort you on an informative walk on the glacier's surface while describing the magnificent area that surrounds you. The Pilot's Choice tour is an incomparable dynamic journey of discovery, a once-in-a-lifetime experience sure to provide enduring memories of Southeast Alaska.
