Juneau Icefield Tour
Sample Wilderness & Wildlife Tours | Flightseeing Tour.
Experience the grandeur of Alaska on this multi-glacier flightseeing tour. Everyone has a window seat while flying in a nostalgic floatplane over five of the Juneau Icefield's glaciers. Your adventure begins as your aircraft departs from Juneau's waterfront, amid the remains of early gold mines.
Fly past waterfalls and rain forests, over lakes and winding river banks, en-route to five distinctly different glaciers of the 1,500 square mile Juneau Icefield. Soar over the deep crevasses and azure blue meltwater pools of the Norris, Hole-In-The-Wall, East and West Twin Glaciers, and the mighty Taku. Of the 36 named glaciers of the Juneau Icefield, the Taku Glacier, five miles wide at its base, is the only glacier not retreating but advancing. With the unique location of the historic floatplane dock in the center of downtown Juneau, you have the advantage of short flight distances into the heart of the glaciers, allowing you to see the most of the Juneau Icefield with time left to enjoy the city itself or explore Alaska's state capital on another shore excursion. |
Chilkoot Trail Hiking & Rafting Tour
