thousands of years old!
Bucketlist Experience
See the Chugach Range from the air as you fly past snow capped mountain peaks and over braided river valleys before landing on over 300 feet of ancient glacial ice! Experience majestic blue pools, swirling moulins, deep crevasses and dramatic ice formations as you step out of your helicopter; onto the icy surface of the Knik Glacier.
The mighty Knik, one of the largest glaciers left in southcentral Alaska, is twenty-six miles in length and 6 miles across at its toe.
In addition to spotting wildlife from the air, you’ll have an eagle’s eye view of towering waterfalls, glacial iceberg-filled lakes and the untouched wilderness of Alaska!
What To Expect in Summer
As the snow melts and exposes blue glacial ice our expert pilots land your helicopter on the glacier surface where you’ll get to experience brilliant blue melt pools & deep crevasses. In the summer months you can choose to polar plunge into one of these giant pools.
What To Expect in Winter
Experience a winter wonderland of giant frozen icebergs, ice caves and frozen waterfalls. The surface of the glacier may not be safe to land on due to snow depth. Instead landing may be at the terminus of the glacier near an ice wall, on the shoreline of a frozen iceberg filled lake, or in the gorge to explore ice caves. All offer a chance to experience beautiful blue ice!

“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.”
