- Seward Helicopter Grand Ocean & Icebergs Flight
Overview
Spend time exploring some of the most beautiful spots in Kenai Fjords National Park on this two-hour heli tour out of Seward. The trip starts with a flight down Resurrection Bay where from the air it's not uncommon to spot pods of whales, eagles, and mountain goats in just a few minutes. From this picturesque waterway you'll ascend over the mountains to the west to gain your first view of the Harding Icefield and glaciers of Kenai Fjords National Park.
Up close view of glaciers in Kenai Fjords National Park.
The tour's first landing is alongside on of those glaciers in a remote location. You'll get to see first-hand the towering size and sheer scale of these dynamic features, and maybe even get to hear the pop and groan of a glacier on the move.
Leaving this spot, the next landing is higher up in the alpine for sweeping views of this remarkable landscape, with luck, maybe even wildlife in the distance. This tour concludes with a return flight to Seward.
More Details
