Private Prince William Sound Helicopter Tour from Girdwood

Explore Alaska's glacier country on a private helicopter flight with commentary from your pilot and views from every seat. Step out onto the ice during a glacier landing, then take in the coastal scenery on an extended return flight.

• Fly near the face of a 400-foot-tall tidewater glacier
• Look for crystal-blue glacial pools in spring and summer
• Spend a full 60 minutes in the air

Itinerary

Your journey begins with a climb above the lush Girdwood Valley before cresting into the remote Chugach backcountry. Keep an eye out for moose, Dall sheep, and mountain goats as you fly over towering peaks and hanging glaciers. Your pilot will land on a remote glacier, where you’ll have 15–20 minutes to step out and explore the ice up close.

On the extended return flight, soar over the pristine waters of Prince William Sound. Your pilot will guide you near the face of a massive tidewater glacier—something only a helicopter can offer—for a once-in-a-lifetime view. Watch for marine wildlife below, and if conditions are right, you may even witness a glacier calving into the sea.
