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!

What Past Customers are saying

“The adventure of a lifetime”

“My husband and I used Outbound Heli for our glacier elopement and truly had the adventure of a lifetime. From our very first conversation to the final goodbyes after we returned from our tour, their team was incredibly attentive, personable, and didn’t overlook a single detail.

It was the most special day ever, and Outbound Heli played such a huge role in making it that way. We cannot recommend them enough!”

– kelley

“Exceeded every expectation”

“Our family had the absolute best experience with Outbound Heli! We were a group of 2 adults and 4 kids (ages 3–8), and it exceeded every expectation.

The entire experience was the perfect balance of informative and laid-back. We never felt rushed and truly got to soak in every moment. It was one of the most memorable experiences our family has ever had, and we’re so grateful to Cedric, Rigel, and the entire Outbound Heli team for giving us a once-in-a-lifetime adventure we’ll never forget.”

– stephanie

“Cannot recommend enough”

“I came to Alaska for work and added this on last minute. What a mistake it would have been to miss this…omg. Cannot recommend enough.

Christine was our pilot and wow! She’s simply amazing. Super knowledgeable, helpful, incredibly kind, patient.

The views are a can’t-miss, once-in-a-lifetime experience.
