Knik Glacier Helicopter Flight-90 Mins-1 Landing-Anchorage Area

1 hour 30 minutesFree Cancellation

If you don't have the time, or the expertise required, to go on a glacier expedition on foot, a helicopter tour is a great way to see the glaciers surrounding Anchorage. This tour takes you over spectacular scenery and makes three landings—one alpine, one on an ice wall, and one in the middle of Knik Glacier—where you can get out and explore with your guide. You also have the possibility of seeing mountain goats, Dall sheep, moose, and, in the summer months, bears and wolves. Note: in winter, the helicopter lands next to the glacier.

What are people saying about Anchorage

Christina_P, Jun 2026

Heck of a ride!

After checkin with Caroline, we were directed to the red helicopter piloted by Captain Laura. As soon as you take off the wonder does not stop. Our pilot kindly pointed out wildlife, interesting points to see and also offered to take pictures for us. She was amazingly kind and considerate. As a plus size person, the team reassured me at every step. You are weighed privately to help the balance of the craft, they have appropriate seatbelts in the back and helped put on the clamp-ons. As I was nervous about my size, they reassured me at every opportunity. I would highly encourage others who worry, to use this company.

This is the best adventure ever!

Do not miss this! What an exciting adventure we had! From the helicopter ride up the mountain to the ride back down, every second was exciting and thrilling. I am a scaredy cat but felt perfectly safe the entire trip. Everything was explained and safety was their first priority. The mushers were great and we learned so much about the Alaskan Iditarod. The dogs were happy to get hooked up to the sled and excited to run. The mushers knew them all by name and obviously cared very much for them. We even go to hold some adorable puppies! This will always be the highlight of our trip to Alaska!

Experience of a lifetime

I went up yesterday with Alaska Air for the helicopter ride and glacier landing. We ended landing ext to, then walking up in to a glacier tunnel all to ourselves with clear blue ice visible for feet into the glacier. Absolutely stunning. Perfect weather, perfect pilot and perfect experience.

ur helicopter tour over...

ur helicopter tour over the Knik Glaciers was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Brian was a wonderful guide and an exceptional helicopter pilot who made safety his top priority while ensuring we had an unforgettable ride. He was very knowledgeable and shared fascinating information about the glaciers and Lake George, which made the experience even more meaningful. We felt completely at ease the entire time, and the views were absolutely breathtaking. A huge thank you to Brian for being such a skilled pilot and an amazing guide. This experience is highly recommended and something we will never forget.
