Winter Ice Cave Helicopter Adventure-1 Landing-Anchorage Area
Overview
Accessible only a few months each year, these beautiful ice caves let you explore glaciers from a whole new angle— inside the ice. This experience includes more flight time than our typical winter landings, as the caves lie further within the Chugach Range.
Fly down the scenic Knik River Valley, with sweeping views of rugged mountains, frozen waterfalls and glaciers; en route to a remote ice cave within the Chugach Range. Led by your pilot guide, you’ll land and explore an ice cave carved at the toe of one of Alaska’s vast glaciers.
Come enjoy this unforgettable winter experience!
Approx. 50 minutes flight time with remaining time spent exploring the ice caves.
