Q&A

Q: What's the best time of year to book the 5-glacier seaplane tour?

A: The best time for the 5-glacier tour is during the summer months, from mid-May to mid-September. This is when the weather is generally more stable, and you’ll have the clearest views of the glaciers. Plus, the wildlife is more active, so you might spot some bears or whales from the plane! Just check the weather forecast before your trip as it can change quickly in Juneau.

Q: Is there an age limit for kids on the seaplane tour?

A: There's no strict age limit, but they recommend kids be at least 2 years old so they can enjoy the experience. The tour is pretty safe, and everyone gets a window seat—perfect for little ones to see the glaciers! Just make sure to bring some snacks and maybe a toy to keep them entertained during the flight.

Q: What should I wear for the seaplane tour? Is it cold up there?

A: Dress in layers! It can get chilly at higher altitudes, especially with the wind. A light jacket and some comfortable clothes should do, but definitely bring a hat and sunglasses since the sun can be pretty bright reflecting off the glaciers. Also, make sure to wear something comfortable for the small seating in the plane.

Just did the 5-Glacier Tour and wow!

I recently went on the 5-glacier seaplane exploration with Wings Airways, and it was epic! The flight was about 40 minutes, and we got to see the Norris, Taku, and Hole-In-The-Wall glaciers up close. The deHavilland Otter floatplane was super comfy, and every seat was a window seat—perfect for snapping photos. I went in mid-July and the weather was perfect! Highly recommend it as a gift for anyone who loves nature.

Considering gifting the seaplane tour to my parents

I'm thinking about getting the 5-glacier seaplane tour for my parents' anniversary. They love nature and have always wanted to see Alaska! Is it worth the money? Any tips on booking? I’d love to hear from anyone who has done it!
