Extended Bear Glacier Scenic Flight

A one-of-a-kind Alaskan experience that should not be missed, this 45-minute helicopter flight from Seward takes you to Bear and Aialik glaciers.

Take photos of cascading waterfalls, old-growth forests and turquoise-blue water that surround a frozen landscape carved by millennia of advancing and retreating ice. Enjoy aerial views of Kenai Fjords National Park.
