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.

Cool Alaska wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Alaska over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
