See the Chugach Range from the air as your helicopter flight takes you over snow capped mountain peaks and braided river valleys to land on over 300 feet of glacial ice thousands of years old! Experience majestic blue pools, stunning, swirling moulins, deep crevasses and dramatic ice formations that continue to fascinate and attract the explorer in all of us when you step foot and trek around the surface of the Knik Glacier. The mighty Knik, one of the largest glaciers left in Southcentral Alaska, is 26 miles in length and 6 miles across at its toe and is just one of several glaciers in the ancient river valley. In addition to spotting wildlife from the air (moose, dall sheep, spawning salmon, and bears), you’ll have an eagle’s eye view of towering waterfalls, glacial iceberg-filled lakes, and the untouched wilderness of the Alaska backcountry. Enjoy a once in a lifetime Glacier Plunge in the summer months at no additional cost! Approx. 40 mins flight time w/ 45 mins on glacier.

Q&A

Q: Are there any age restrictions for this helicopter tour?

A: Yes, there are some age recommendations. Generally, children must be at least 2 years old to participate in the flight. However, each child under 12 must have an adult with them. It's always best to check with Knik Glacier Tours for their latest policies before booking.

Q: What happens if the weather is bad on the day of the flight?

A: If the weather doesn't cooperate, Knik Glacier Tours will try to reschedule your flight for another day. They prioritize safety, so if conditions are unsafe, they won't fly. Just make sure to book with some flexibility to accommodate any changes.

Q: What should we wear for the glacier landing?

A: Definitely dress in layers! It can be chilly and windy on the glacier, even in summer. I’d recommend waterproof boots and a good winter jacket. Also, don’t forget gloves and a hat! You’ll be outside for about 45 minutes, and staying warm will make it so much more enjoyable.

Has anyone done the Knik Glacier Helicopter Flight? Thinking of gifting it!

I’m planning to surprise my partner with the Knik Glacier Helicopter Flight as a birthday gift. Has anyone experienced this? I’m especially curious about the helicopter views and the glacier trek. What was it like? Any tips for first-timers?

Thinking of taking my kids on the Knik Glacier tour. Any thoughts?

I’m considering booking the helicopter flight for my family, including kids aged 6 and 9. They love nature, but I’m worried they might get cold on the glacier. How was your experience with kids? Did they enjoy it?
