Taku Glacier Helicopter and Airboat Adventure
Overview
Combine a helicopter, an airboat, and a glacier landing on this ultimate Alaskan adventure. Soar over the vast Juneau Icefield and Tongass National Forest to Taku Point. Board an airboat to cruise the five-mile face of the mighty Taku Glacier, getting remarkably close to the ancient ice. Your journey culminates with a helicopter landing on the icefield itself. Step out to capture stunning photos and stand amidst a majestic, remote landscape, taking in the immense scale of the wilderness before your return flight. This is a truly unforgettable activity.
