The views start in Juneau with a birds-eye-view of the areas rich history & beautiful mountains. Then, you’ll see sweeping expanses of ice, plunging crevasses, and unbelievably blue pools as you fly along. And since everyone gets a window seat for once-in-a-lifetime views, you’ll want to be sure to bring your camera fully charged to remember the action.

Your 5 Glacier Seaplane Exploration tour begins right from the historic heart of downtown Juneau. Fly south from here over the Tongass National Forest to glimpse the massive Juneau Icefield.

You’ll glimpse crevasses, blue moulins, & stunning icy drops as your soar along these beautiful rivers of ice.

As you soar over the massive Taku Glacier, take special note as this is the only glacier on the Juneau Icefield that is still advancing. With continuous narration playing through your headset, you’ll learn all about what makes this, and the other glaciers around it flow.
