Extraordinary Glacier Landing Helicopter Tour
by Glacier Air
Discover how Glacier Air got its name with their signature helicopter tour. After flying over lush forests, dramatic mountains and pristine creeks and waterfalls, your pilot will touch down on Serratus Glacier. Step off the helicopter and experience this ancient, massive ice deposit in the flesh. Walk around, take some photos or just breathe in the crisp air and enjoy the view.
- All tours are fully narrated and passengers are equipped with headsets with personal volume controls. In the event of Non-English speaking groups, your own translator will be the “co-pilot” and narrate the tour in your language. Glacier Air co-pilots can speak English, French, Spanish, German and other languages.
- This tour will be conducted in a Bell 206 Jet Ranger helicopter.
- This tour requires a minimum of three passengers.
