Winter Ice Cave Adventure

Between December and March, glacial ice caves allow our guests to explore the rivers of ice from the inside out. This experience includes more flight time than our typical winter landings, since the ice caves lie further within the Chugach Mountain range.

Explore the magical world of Alaska’s glacial Ice Caves!
a Bucketlist Experience

Fly down the scenic Knik River Valley, with sweeping views of rugged mountains, frozen waterfalls and glaciers en route to a remote ice cave within the Chugach Mountains. After landing, your pilot-guide will lead you on an expedition to explore the toe of an Alaska glacier, and the caves carved by glacial melt. 

Accessible for just a few months each year, these unique formations offer a unique perspective of our state’s glaciers and make the perfect addition to any Alaska trip. 

Join us for an unforgettable winter experience!

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.
