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

5.0(85)1 h 30 minFree cancellationBy Outbound Heli Adventures, LLC

About this activity

See the Chugach Range from the air as your helicopter flight takes you over snow capped mountain peaks and braided river valleys to land on over 300 feet of glacial ice thousands of years old!

Experience majestic blue pools, stunning, swirling moulins, deep crevasses and dramatic ice formations that continue to fascinate and attract the explorer in all of us when you step foot and trek around the surface of the Knik Glacier. The mighty Knik, one of the largest glaciers left in Southcentral Alaska, is 26 miles in length and 6 miles across at its toe and is just one of several glaciers in the ancient river valley.

In addition to spotting wildlife from the air (moose, dall sheep, spawning salmon, and bears), you’ll have an eagle’s eye view of towering waterfalls, glacial iceberg-filled lakes, and the untouched wilderness of the Alaska backcountry.

Enjoy a once in a lifetime Glacier Plunge in the summer months at no additional cost!

Approx. 40 mins flight time w/ 45 mins on glacier.
