Combine a helicopter, an airboat, and a glacier landing on this ultimate Alaskan adventure. Soar over the vast Juneau Icefield and Tongass National Forest to Taku Point. Board an airboat to cruise the five-mile face of the mighty Taku Glacier, getting remarkably close to the ancient ice. Your journey culminates with a helicopter landing on the icefield itself. Step out to capture stunning photos and stand amidst a majestic, remote landscape, taking in the immense scale of the wilderness before your return flight. This is a truly unforgettable activity.

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for kids on the Taku Glacier Helicopter and Airboat Adventure?

A: Yes, they allow kids as young as 2, but they need to be able to sit in the helicopter and airboat safely. It might be a good idea to check with NorthStar Trekking beforehand since they might have specific requirements for younger kids. Just make sure to dress them warmly because it can get chilly up there!

Q: What if the weather is bad? Can we reschedule our Taku Glacier trip?

A: If the weather is bad, they’ll definitely reschedule you for a later date. NorthStar Trekking is pretty flexible with that. Just make sure to check the forecast and call them if you're worried. They'll keep you updated on conditions leading up to your adventure.

Q: What should we wear for the Taku Glacier Helicopter Adventure? Is it really cold?

A: It's definitely cold on the glacier! They provide you with over boots, rain pants, and a Mustang jacket, but I’d still recommend layering up. Wear a warm hat and gloves too! You’ll be glad you did once you're on the ice. If you're going during summer, it can be a bit milder, but you never know in Alaska!

Just booked the Taku Glacier Helicopter & Airboat Adventure!

I finally booked the Taku Glacier Helicopter and Airboat Adventure for my partner's birthday! We’re going in early November. I’m so excited about landing on the glacier and capturing those epic photos. Has anyone done this already? Any tips on what to bring besides the essentials they provide? Also, is the airboat ride pretty smooth?

Thinking of gifting the Taku Glacier adventure, but wondering if it's worth it?

Hey everyone! I’m considering gifting the Taku Glacier Helicopter and Airboat Adventure to my brother and his wife. They love the outdoors, but I’m just a bit concerned about how intense the experience is. Is it suitable for all ages? Anyone think it’s a good gift for adventure lovers?
