Private Helicopter Glacier Odyssey & Ice Walk

Lift off from port in a private helicopter and land on a remote, pristine glacier for a guided ice walk — a truly once-in-a-lifetime Arctic encounter. Sweeping aerial views of ice fields, peaks, and fjords seal this as the ultimate bucket-list moment.

What to expect

Your pilot traces a breathtaking flight path over icefall valleys and sculpted seracs before setting down on the glacier surface. A certified glacier guide leads your small party across blue-ice terrain, explaining crevasse formation and climate science. You'll toast with glacier ice in a whisky poured right on the ice. The flight back delivers panoramic coastal and mountain views that rival anything on the ground.
