60 Minute Scenic Flight over Kenai Fjords and Chugach National Forest

Summary Description

Make your way to the airport in Seward to meet your pilot. Receive a brief safety orientation and a radio headset that allows for communications with your pilot during your flight, then board your helicopter for your sightseeing flight.

Take off and fly over the heavily forested landscape of the national park. Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife sightings that might include moose, wolf, bear, deer, elk and whales breaching.

Head to Resurrection Bay to see Bear Glacier and the massive Harding Ice Field. Circle the lagoon and pass the ice sheet, then continue to Aialik Bay. There, check out the Aialik Glacier and a wall of ice that crashes into the sea when it calves.

From Aialik Bay, soar over the mountains to look for wildlife and get great photo ops of deep valleys, old-growth forest and glacier-cut mountains around Kenai Fjords National Park and Chugach National Forest. Your tour ends after one hour with return to the Seward Airport.
