This 90-minute tour includes an extended return flight over the majestic waters of Prince William Sound, where you'll see a spectacular 400-foot-tall tide-water glacier and look for seals and otters in the blue fjords.

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for this heli tour, and can kids join?

A: Yes, kids can absolutely join the tour! Alpine Air welcomes children aged 4 and up. However, those under 12 must be accompanied by an adult. Just make sure they’re comfortable with the helicopter experience since it can be a bit bumpy sometimes. Also, it’s a good idea to prepare them for the cold when you step out on the glacier!

Q: What's the best time of year to do the glacier landing tour?

A: The best time for the heli tour is during the summer months, from June to August. That’s when you’ll get the clearest skies and the warmest temperatures. However, keep in mind that weather can change quickly in Alaska, so always check forecasts before your trip. It's spectacular either way, but summers offer the most breathtaking views!

Q: How much time should I allow for the whole experience, parking included?

A: Plan on about 2-3 hours total for your helicopter tour experience. The actual flight is around 90 minutes, but you’ll want to arrive early for check-in and safety briefings. Parking at the Alpine Air facility is pretty easy, just grab a spot in their lot, and you should be set. If you’re staying in Anchorage, traffic can be a factor, so give yourself some extra time to get there.

Just did the Prince William Sound heli tour—absolutely breathtaking!

I just got back from the Anchorage heli tour with Glacier Landing and wow, what an experience! The views of the blue ice-fields and glaciers were unreal. We even got to step out onto the glacier and it felt like another planet! Our pilot was super knowledgeable and pointed out all the wildlife, we saw seals chilling on the ice. Definitely bring a good camera, you won't regret it! I'm thinking of gifting this to my sister next year.

Thinking of gifting the glacier tour for my parents—any advice?

I want to surprise my parents with something special and I think this glacier heli tour could be it! They love nature, but I’m a bit worried about the cold and whether they’ll enjoy it. Can anyone who’s done this share what the weather was like? Do they provide gear? I want it to be an unforgettable gift, but I don't want them to freeze!
