Alaska Flightseeing Tours
With less than 3,000 miles of road in the state, one of the best (and only) ways to see Alaska is on a flightseeing tour. What is flightseeing in Alaska? Tours by either small airplane or helicopter that range from quick flights to see the sites from the air to longer excursions with glacier landings, sled dog tours, and bear viewing. Some "only-in-Alaska" flightseeing tours to consider:
- Denali Experience Scenic Flight from Talkeetna
- Denali Glacier Landing Flightseeing from Talkeetna
- Knik Helicopter Grand Knik Glacier Landing Flightseeing from Anchorage
- Kenai Fjords National Park Helicopter Flightseeing from Seward
- Bear Viewing Flightseeing Lake Clark National Park from Anchorage
- Arctic Circle Flightseeing Adventure from Fairbanks
Flightseeing Tours (Flying Only)
A flightseeing adventures around Denali is a highlight of any Alaska visit. Talkeetna is the nearest town to the Denali itself, offering flights for casual travelers and mountaineers alike. Hop on the one-hour Denali Experience Scenic Flight for a classic experience. If you're in Anchorage and have more time to spare, you can take the Discover Denali Flightseeing Tour. Other popular flightseeing only tours go by helicopter and last about 30 minutes. Check out the Kenai Fjords National Park helicopter flight out of Seward, the Denali Helicopter Tundra Express Flight out of the Denali Park area, or the Glacier View Helicopter Tour out of Valdez.
Flightseeing Tours (with Landings)
Flightseeing takes you through some incredible Alaska landscapes. Now imagine what a landing would be like. Take the fixed wing Denali Glacier Landing Tour from near the Denali Park entrance or from Talkeetna and not only flightsee around North America's highest peak, but actually land on a glacier near it. You can also land on a glacier on helicopter flightseeing tours like the Grand Knik Helicopter Tour and Valdez Glacier Explorer Helicopter Tour.
Flightseeing and Sled Dog Tours
The Girdwood Glacier Sled Dog tour whisks guests to Punch Bowl Glacier for a two-hour flightseeing journey and visit to a sled dog summer training camp. You can enjoy similar excursions in Seward and outside of Anchorage.
Flightseeing and Bear Viewing Tours
Small planes are used to take visitors wanting to observe coastal brown bears in their natural habitat to Lake Clark National Park, Katmai National Park, and areas around Redoubt Bay. Alaska Tour & Travel can assist you with securing the best tour for you, from a few hours to an all-day adventure.
Arctic Flightseeing Tours
To get a true sense of the vastness of Alaska's wilderness and the remoteness of its rural communities, Arctic Circle flightseeing trips out of Fairbanks take you north across the Arctic Circle, the Yukon River, above remote rural communities, and in sight of the magnificent Brooks Range.
