What to Wear
Alaska’s climate requires practical layering. Begin with a moisture-wicking base layer, followed by an insulating layer like fleece, and finish with a waterproof outer shell. Don’t forget sturdy boots, gloves, and a hat. These layers are crucial for staying warm and dry, especially in glacier and marine environments such as those you’ll encounter during our Knik Glacier Helicopter Tour.
Route Options
Our helicopter tours offer a variety of routes to accommodate different interests. Explore the towering peaks of the Chugach Mountains, the serene waters of Prince William Sound, or the expansive ice fields of the Matanuska Valley. Each route is designed to showcase Alaska’s diverse landscapes, providing unique opportunities for photography and exploration. Learn more about these routes on our charter services page.
Photography Tips
Capturing the beauty of Alaska requires preparation. Bring a camera with a wide-angle lens to capture expansive landscapes, and consider using a polarizing filter to reduce glare from water and ice. Early morning or late afternoon light offers the best conditions for photography, highlighting the rugged textures and vibrant colors of the terrain.
