Travel back to the Ice Age on this excursion that was featured on Good Morning America as Juneau's top-rated excursion.
Board a modern, turbine-powered helicopter to enjoy breathtaking vistas of thriving rain forests, alpine ridges, and mountain peaks.
Your destination is the world-famous Mendenhall Glacier. The flight path takes you over the glacier itself, giving you an eagle's-eye view of its icy spires, deep blue crevasses and meltwater pools. Descending towards the landing site, you may fly past the Mendenhall Towers -- rock sentinels that soar to more than 7,000 feet. A gentle landing brings you to your close encounter with the ice itself.
Hop out onto the ice to explore the glacier's surface with an experienced, knowledgeable guide -- a wonderful opportunity to take once-in-a-lifetime photos. Bring your binoculars -- you never know when you'll have a chance to see some of Alaska's famous wildlife.
Please note: Tablets, iPads, Go-Pro sticks, and drones are not allowed on the flights to ensure a full field of vision for pilots and guests alike. Wear sunglasses. Glacier boots are provided. Guests weighing 250 lbs or more will pay an additional surcharge over the published fare. For security purposes, no bags are allowed on the flight.

On or after his/her 2nd birthday, each child is required by FAA to have his/her own seat and will be charged accordingly.
