Adventure Tour
The Adventure Tour is approximately 1.5 hours and takes you exploring deep into the 1500 sq. mile Juneau Icefield, reaching recesses of the many glaciers unattainable by means other than our uniquely suited helicopters. Within moments of your departure, you will be flying over the breathtaking azure blue ice spires and deep crevasses that abound in the Juneau Icefield. This tour is narrated by your specially trained pilot-guide. The helicopter will make one landing on one of the many vast, unforgettable glacier landscapes where you will be able to step out into the awesome and spectacular surroundings. Be sure to bring your camera, as you can be sure that every picture will be a memory in the making. Truly your "Pathway to Adventure" and a trip not to be missed.
Landings on glaciers inside the Tongass National Forest are under permits issued by the USDA Forest Service.
