    Cancellation Policy

    Cancellations made 24 hours after booking through 7 days before departure incur a $500 fee. Cancellations between 7 days and 72 hours before departure receive a 50% refund. No refund within 72 hours. Full refund if the operator cancels due to weather or unforeseen circumstances.

    FAQs

    For this 5-hour R66 elopement, up to four travelers and their gear may total 800 lbs.

    Snow depth may make landing directly on the glacier unsafe. Your elopement may instead land near an ice wall, on the shore of a frozen iceberg-filled lake, or in a glacier gorge to explore ice caves.

    A packraft package is available May 15 through September 15 and includes two packrafts, two paddles, and two personal flotation devices. It adds 40 lbs to your aircraft weight and is intended for photos rather than a full packrafting experience.

    With a perfect rating across hundreds of reviews, this helicopter tour operation delivers consistently exceptional glacier experiences. Guests rave about the Knik glacier flights with glacier landings that allow 30 minutes to explore and photograph the stunning blue ice. The pilots—particularly Evan, Logan, and Christine—receive enthusiastic praise for their smooth flying, knowledge of the terrain, and willingness to go the extra mile, like landing on icebergs or flying through canyons to spot wildlife. The staff, especially Carly and Caroline, make everyone feel comfortable and handle logistics seamlessly, including round-trip transport. The experience works beautifully for everything from standard sightseeing to special occasions like wedding elopements. Travelers appreciate the excellent communication, particularly regarding weather conditions, and note that the flights are surprisingly smooth even for those worried about motion sickness. Multiple international visitors specifically mention how welcoming and accommodating the team is. This consistently ranks as a top Alaska adventure and a genuine once-in-a-lifetime experience that's worth every penny.

    Incredible experience! I don’t have the words to describe how beautiful the glacier, water, mountains, and surrounding scenery is. The most beautiful, majestic place on earth! Wonderful guides, pilot, and staff! I’m afraid of heights and had no fear on the flight. If you aren’t sure, just do it!!
