When to Go
Alaska’s weather can be unpredictable, so timing your helicopter tour is essential.

For current weather forecasts, consult the National Weather Service.
What to Wear
Dressing appropriately for Alaska’s variable climate is crucial. Layers are your best friend; start with a moisture-wicking base layer, followed by an insulating layer, and finish with a waterproof outer layer. Don’t forget sturdy footwear, gloves, and a hat. Even in summer, temperatures can drop significantly near glaciers and high altitudes.
Route Options
Our helicopter tours offer a variety of routes, each showcasing Alaska’s natural beauty. Experience the awe-inspiring views of the Knik Glacier or the vibrant landscapes of the Mat-Su Valley. For a more adventurous outing, consider our ATV helicopter tour, where you can explore remote trails after your flight.
Photography Tips
Capturing the breathtaking landscapes of Alaska from a helicopter requires some planning. Use a camera with a fast shutter speed to counteract the helicopter’s motion.
