The Top 9 Helicopter Tours in Anchorage

Helicopters are exciting, there’s no disputing it. So, it’s entirely understandable if you want to incorporate an Anchorage helicopter tour into your shore time. Many of the most exciting landscapes in southcentral Alaska are inaccessible by road or boat, so a helicopter is the only way to see parts of this crazily beautiful region. Helicopter flights also feel unlike any other way of traveling - and we believe everyone should experience it once in their life! 

On the Grand Knik Tour, you’ll enjoy multiple helicopter flights, as you’re transported between three different landing points. Each flight is just as thrilling as the last, and the iconic sound of propellers whirring will stay with you for years to come. During your helicopter excursion, you’ll land at George Lake, a vast glacier lake complete with huge chunks of floating iceberg. An alpine meadow landing is somewhere for the photographers among you, as you can capture epic views over Knik, Colony, and Cataract glaciers. Finally, a landing on the glacier surface marks the beginning of a glacier hike that is guaranteed to blow your mind! 

During the Anchorage Helicopter and Glacier Dogsled Tour, you’ll not only experience two helicopter flights, but you’ll also whizz through the stunning snowy terrain of the dog mushing camp on a dog sled, pulled by an excited team of huskies! A helicopter flight over native Alaskan wildlife, taking in the huge scale of the wilderness is a unique experience, and learning how to mush gives you a taste of traditional Alaskan living. This tour is truly a case of the modern meeting the traditional - and it’s a great combination!
