Overview

The Alaska Helicopter Tour with Glacier Landing departs from the Alaska Glacier Lodge located in the Anchorage area, specifically in the Mat-Su Valley. The total duration of the tour is 60 minutes. The flight includes about 30 minutes of round-trip helicopter flightseeing over the region to the Knik Glacier, which is approximately 5 miles wide and 29 miles long. During summer months, the helicopter lands directly on the glacier, allowing passengers to spend around 30 minutes walking on the ice. Ice spikes are provided for safety during this guided glacier hike. Passengers can observe features such as blue lakes on the glacier surface, crevasses, and natural ice formations shaped by wind and sunlight. In winter, from October through April, landing on the glacier surface may not be possible due to snow cover and safety concerns. Instead, the helicopter lands beside the glacier near large blue ice formations, where passengers take a guided 30-minute walk over frozen ice. Check-in is required 45 minutes before the scheduled departure time at the specified location. Late check-in may result in a shortened or canceled tour without refund. The tour includes the helicopter flightseeing, all fees and taxes, and the guided glacier or ice formation walk depending on the season. Transfers to the departure point are not included but can be added for an additional fee.
