White Pass Summit Panorama: Private Helicopter Flightseeing

Lift off from Skagway and soar above the jagged peaks, hanging glaciers, and turquoise lakes of the Coast Mountains — a perspective on the White Pass corridor that simply cannot be reached any other way.

What to expect

You're airborne within minutes of leaving the dock, climbing over dense boreal forest before the world opens into a cathedral of ice and granite. The pilot circles iconic peaks and descends toward ancient glacier fields, with optional touchdowns on blue-ice surfaces for a moment of profound alpine silence. The flight lasts 30–50 minutes depending on the package chosen. On clear days, visibility extends deep into British Columbia and the Yukon Territory.

Good to know

Weight limits apply (advised at booking). Book directly with Temsco well before embarkation; summer departures fill quickly. Transfers from the pier to the helipad are short and straightforward. Weather-dependent — Temsco will communicate any changes promptly.
