a Bucketlist Experience

One of the wildest things that we’ve dreamed up yet!

Paddleboarding on a glacier in Alaska is an awe-inspiring and unique experience that allows you to connect with nature’s pristine beauty in a truly remarkable way. 

Your day starts out with a helicopter flight past snow-capped mountain peaks, over braided rivers, and through glacier valleys. Fly over mighty Knik Glacier one of the largest glaciers left in Southcentral Alaska at 26 miles in length and six miles across at its toe.

Once the pilot has picked a perfect glacial pool for your comfort and adventure level and landed, your glacier paddling experience begins! You will be outfitted by adventure guides with all necessary equipment, and receive instruction on water safety and SUP paddling, then have plenty of time to explore the beautiful pools atop the glacier.  

In addition to paddling, you’ll also have the opportunity to explore the deep crevasses, towering ice walls, and stunning blue ice formations on foot. Here, you’ll see why Knik Glacier is one of the most captivating in all of Alaska.

This helicopter & SUP adventure is an experience you’ll never forget!

“One of the best experiences of our lives.”

“We did a glacier landing adventure, and unlike some other companies in the area (who we saw land and leave very quickly) we had a good amount of time on the ice where Chris took us on a mini hike to some of the waterfalls and pools on the glacier.

It was truly a memorable experience and highly recommend it to everyone.”
