Grand Knik Tour

This is one of our staff favorites as you have time to really experience the stunning beauty of the area by combining three activities. Fly by helicopter to Lake George Glacier. As the helicopter descents you’ll realize the scale of the glacier ice wall; everything out here is XXL size! See this glacier actively calving from the 100ft ice wall right in front of you. Some of the chunks are the size of trucks! You will have a half hour to explore as you take in the massive size of the ice and take pictures.

For your second landing, you will fly high above to an alpine meadow where you will have a unique birds eye view of the massive Knik glacier below, with Colony and Cataract glacier across Lake George. There is a good chance we’ll see bears foraging along the hillsides during the flight (summer). We almost always see moose and Dall sheep.

Finally, your grande adventure has you flying to the middle of the Knik Glacier for a third landing at the azure colored melt pools. See the deep blue ice, and learn about the life cycle of glaciers and why they are so important to human life across the globe. You will have another half hour to safely explore the glacier with your experienced pilot / guide. Don’t forget your water bottle so you can fill it up with that crystal clear glacier water! (summer*) An adventure you will be telling friends and family about for years to come!
