Introduction
Embarking on a 7-night Alaskan cruise from Vancouver offers a unique opportunity to explore the breathtaking landscapes of Alaska. This cruise allows you to experience the pristine beauty of glaciers, lush rainforests, and diverse wildlife. For those looking to enhance their Alaskan adventure, Heli Alaska, Inc. provides exceptional helicopter tours to remote destinations within the state. As a veteran-owned, FAA-certified operator, we prioritize safety and expertise in navigating Alaska’s rugged terrain.
Safety
Safety is our foremost priority at Heli Alaska, Inc. Our veteran-owned company is FAA-certified, including Part 133 operations, ensuring all flights meet stringent safety standards. Our pilots are experienced in flying through Alaska’s challenging weather conditions and varied terrains, from the vast expanses of the Knik Glacier to the rugged Chugach Range. We maintain a rigorous safety culture, so you can enjoy your adventure with peace of mind.
When to Go
The best time to enjoy an Alaskan cruise and helicopter tours is during the summer months, from May to September. During this period, Alaska’s weather is milder, and the days are longer, offering more time for exploration. Glacier tours, like our Knik Glacier Helicopter Tour, are particularly stunning in late spring and early summer when ice formations are most dynamic.
What to Wear
Alaskan weather can be unpredictable, so packing appropriately is crucial. Layering is key; start with moisture-wicking base layers, followed by insulating mid-layers, and windproof, waterproof outer layers. A sturdy pair of hiking boots and gloves are essential for any helicopter tour. For accurate weather forecasts, visit weather.gov.
Route Options
While a 7-night Alaskan cruise from Vancouver offers a beautiful introduction to the region, helicopter tours provide a deeper exploration of Alaska’s hidden gems. Consider a flightseeing tour to Hatcher Pass or a charter service to the remote Matanuska Valley. These routes showcase Alaska’s diverse landscapes, from alpine meadows to glacier-fed rivers.
Photography Tips
Alaska’s dramatic scenery is a photographer’s dream. For the best shots, use a camera with a good zoom lens to capture distant wildlife and sweeping landscapes. Early morning and late afternoon light offer the best conditions for photography. Heli tours provide unique vantage points, allowing you to capture breathtaking aerial views of areas like the Talkeetna Mountains.
