Overview

Experience one of Alaska’s most dramatic flightseeing adventures on this extended 90-minute helicopter tour over the Columbia Glacier—Alaska’s second-largest tidewater glacier. Soar above jagged crevasses, towering icebergs, vivid blue melt pools in summer, and watch for possible calving events. You may also spot seals lounging on floating ice and mountain goats high on the surrounding cliffs.

During the flight, your pilot will land on a remote glacier for 30 minutes of on-the-ground exploration, giving you time to drink pure glacier water, explore with your pilot guide, take incredible photos and video, and experience the massive scale of Alaska’s icefields up close. This longer tour is perfect for travelers seeking a deeper, more immersive look at Alaska’s dynamic glacier landscapes.
