The Columbia Glacier Iceberg Landing is a 1-hour and 45-minute tour with time in the air to experience the great Alaska landscape, as well as time on the ground to explore on foot. Your pilot will land at the face of Alaska’s second largest tide water glacier, the Columbia Glacier, so you can get out of the helicopter and explore what the ocean leaves behind after the tide goes out – huge glacier ice chunks! Exploring this beach-like spot provides great opportunity for photo and video, walking among the glacier ice mountains, or taking in the sounds of ice movement, which can sometimes resemble rolling thunder. A majestic experience at the fastest receding tide water glacier in all of Alaska, one of our pilot’s favorite tours.
The Everything & the Kitchen Sink is a tour that has it all – everything from all of our other tours rolled into one. This 2-hour and 20-minute tour has two glacier landings.
