What you can expect

  • This premier 90-minute scenic tour includes two unforgettable landings—one on glacier ice and one on a high alpine ridge or a mountain lake beach—making it the perfect choice for families, photographers, and anyone looking to experience the best of Alaska’s backcountry.

    Your journey begins with a breathtaking flight over the Girdwood Valley and deep into the Chugach Mountains. Your first stop is a glacier landing, where you'll spend 10–15 minutes on the ice, surrounded by towering peaks and ancient blue ice—perfect for dramatic, once-in-a-lifetime photos.

    From there, you’ll fly to a remote alpine ridgeline for your second landing, with sweeping views of glacier valleys and untouched wilderness. This vantage point offers incredible photo opportunities and a chance to spot wildlife like moose, mountain goats, or even bears in the distance.

    This is one of our most scenic and diverse tours—ideal for capturing the raw beauty of Alaska from both the ground and the sky.
