Flightseeing Tours & Helicopter Adventures

Alaska's landscape is so vast and varied, sometimes taking to the air is the only way to really grasp its grandeur. Flight tours — also called flightseeing — send you aloft in small planes that hold anywhere from two to eight people, or helicopters that hold two to four. Alaska flightseeing tours range in duration from quick  flights to get a taste of the views to full-day trips that include activities like dog sledding, glacier landings, bear viewing, kayaking, and more. If you’re interested in exploring Alaska’s national parks, flightseeing trips are a great way to experience the landscapes and wildlife of top destinations like Denali National Park & Preserve, Wrangell St. Elias National Park, Lake Clark National Park & Preserve, Katmai National Park — as well as parks that are more off the beaten track.

Helicopter dventures range from hour-long sightseeing tours to full-day heli-skiing trips in Alaska’s backcountry. These nimble aircraft allow you to get up close to the sights and land in otherwise inaccessible locations – bringing you face to face with glaciers, mountains, and alpine landscapes. Many helicopter trips include guided activities in Alaska’s backcountry, including glacier trekking, glacier dog sledding, kayaking, hiking, and more.
