Board a float- or wheel-plane and soar over Glacier Bay National Park's tidewater glaciers, ice fields, and fjords — a perspective that simply cannot be experienced from the ground or sea.
What to expect
Lift off from Hoonah's airstrip and within minutes you're banking over Glacier Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage landscape still rebounding from the Little Ice Age. You'll trace the sinuous blue crevasses of tidewater glaciers, spot mountain goats on cliff faces, and watch meltwater rivers braid across outwash plains far below. On clear days the Fairweather Range crowns the horizon in blinding white. The windows are large, the altitude low, and the views utterly humbling.
Good to know
Flights are weather-dependent — book early and ask the operator about their rebooking policy. Hoonah airport is a short drive or shuttle from Icy Strait Point. Duration is typically 60–90 minutes; confirm departure timing relative to your all-aboard. Weight limits apply per aircraft.
