10 Amazing Helicopter Tours
Juneau, Alaska: While they won’t be gone any time soon, the Juneau glaciers
are definitely in retreat, and Era Helicopters LLC offers two-hour trips to the
still-spectacular series of ice fields just north of the Alaskan state capital.
Patrons hover over four distinct floes, receive some pointers on glacier taxonomy, then touch down for a brief amble on the ice (special glacier walking
boots are provided). The dogsled trip, a popular “soft adventure,” allows
customers to spend some quality time with dozens of seasoned four-legged
Itidarod veterans.
Seeing the Sights, Ditching the Shipmates
Cutting out the middleman tends to offer the most flexibility and savings.
And you might even stumble upon the same outfitters that the cruise line
uses. For example, if you’re trying to book a helicopter ride during an Alaskan
cruise, you might come across Era Helicopters LLC, which offers a two-hour
Four Glacier Adventure in Juneau for $265 a person. It’s the same trip that
Holland America offers at $339.
Fly over Alaska
In Denali, glimpse the craggy twin peaks of Mount McKinley—from above,
on one of Era Aviation‘s Alaska Flightseeing Tours by helicopter. For families
seeking to explore the alpine tundra, the group also offers hiking, trekking,
and dogsledding packages. Era Aviation‘s Alaska Flightseeing Tours.
