Soar over ancient ice fields by private helicopter and land on a living glacier for a guided walk across a frozen wilderness — one of the most awe-inspiring experiences Alaska offers.
What to expect
Board a gleaming helicopter at a private terminal and sweep upward over dense Tongass rainforest before the world turns brilliant white. Land on the Juneau Icefield — one of the largest in North America — and strap on crampons for a guided walk past turquoise seracs, moulins, and crevasse edges. Your expert glaciologist narrates the story of ten-thousand-year-old ice beneath your boots. The panoramic silence, broken only by wind and distant cracking ice, is genuinely otherworldly.
Good to know
Flight time is approximately 30 minutes each way; total experience runs 2.5–3 hours, well within all-aboard. Book directly weeks in advance — weight limits apply (typically 250 lbs max). Dress in warm, waterproof layers; crampons and poles are provided.
