Description

Helicopter tour with a glacier walk

This helicopter tour departing from Palmer, Alaska combines an overflight of the backcountry and a real on-the-ground phase on Knik Glacier, presented as one of the region’s major glaciers. The experience is listed at about 1 hour 30 minutes total, with a flight guided by an experienced pilot, then time to explore on foot on the ice. The format runs in a small group (up to 7 participants), with English commentary during the overflight.


Overflight of the Chugach Range and visible scenery

The overflight mainly puts the Chugach Range and the backcountry around Palmer into perspective, with valley terrain and glaciated areas. The pilot comments on the route during the flight, with the possibility of spotting local wildlife, but it depends entirely on conditions and animal movement.


After about 40 to 45 minutes of listed flight time, the helicopter lands on Knik Glacier. The on-the-ground phase lasts about 45 minutes and is done on foot, with microspikes provided for walking on the ice. What you see on site varies depending on glacier conditions and the area selected on the day.
