Answers to Commonly Asked Questions

We fly 2 different types of Robinson Helicopters. The R44 and the R66. The differences between the two are small, but important to note. 

The R44 can accommodate 3 passengers, with a max weight allowance of 650 lbs. On your elopement day, this typically allows for the bride, groom and photographer for up to 4-5 hours of total time. The R44 has under seat storage for small bags, coats or small celebratory items you may want to bring along with you (champagne, cake etc.) 

The R66 can accommodate up to 4 people, with a max weight allowance of 900 lbs. It is perfect for bringing along an extra passenger, going out for a longer day, going longer distances in the helicopter, or just increasing the weight allowance for 3 passengers. The R66 has an external cargo storage compartment that allows for larger items (small table, picnic basket, etc.). 

Absolutely! If you have just one guest you’d like to bring for example a parent, child or friend you can book the R66 Elopement Package & there is room for 1 person to join you on your elopement adventure!

Have more guests? Bring them along for $599 per person. There is minimum of two guests needed.
Per Person price includes one landing for guests to join in on Ceremony & get photos together.
Want them to join for additional landings? Additional Landings are $125 per person per landing.

    What Past Couples are saying

    “The whole experience was beyond our wildest dreams”

    My husband and I recently eloped on a glacier with Outbound Heli Adventures. The whole experience was beyond our wildest dreams, with scenery that words cannot express. Thomas was our pilot and officiant. Besides being an awesome person in general, Thomas was extremely professional and ensured our utmost safety throughout the experience. The ceremony was really sweet and included a bit about the glaciers themselves, which felt really special. The rest of the staff that assisted us at the lodge also made the experience awesome.

    – Katelyn

    “Wow! The views were other-worldly!”

    This was an amazing experience! Our son and his lovely bride eloped to an Alaska glacier and invited us along! Chris and Bridget did everything anyone could do to make it special and to make us comfortable. When we needed to delay for a few hours due to weather, Bridget kept us informed with frequent updates until we were able to fly. Wow! The views were other-worldly! I think it was everything the wedding couple wished for! Chris is a great pilot and made the flights in and out so interesting, pointing out wildlife along the way. Bridget was so kind and thoughtful! Both were careful to preserve the pristine environment. I’d love to fly with them again if I were ever back in Alaska!

    – Janet

    “One of the best experiences of our lives.”

    By far the greatest experience of our lives. Bridget and her team are extremely special people, and their kindness made our wedding day more spectacular than I could have ever imagined. Our pilot was David and he was a blast!

    He even hyped us up to jump in the glacier pool and the best part was he jumped in with us!

    Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, outbound heli adventures, for your unwavering love for people and the mountains. We will be back!
