Valdez Helicopter Flight with Glacier Landing (1 Hour)
Overview
Experience Alaska from both above and below on this unforgettable one-hour tour. Your adventure begins with a helicopter flight over stunning mountain peaks, deep valleys, and ancient icefields. Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife as your pilot navigates through one of the most glacier-rich regions in North America.

This tour is the perfect mix of scenic flightseeing and glacier adventure.
