Want more adventure on the Matanuska Glacier? Helicopter to the best of the glacier with one of our highly trained Guides for a half day of exploring.
An Exclusive Experience
The Helicopter Micro Wedding is specifically designed to help make your wedding dreams come true. With your celebrant, photographer and a few family and friends you’ll fly to a beautiful location for your ceremony. You’ll have 2-3 hours to get hitched and take photos. Your party will be accompanied by one of our helicopter professionals but there will be no hiking, climbing or exploring beyond a very limited range for photos.
If you would like to add more adventure to your trip, book a Private Heli Explorer.

Your group may need multiple flights to get to the glacier with each flight being 7-10 minutes.Rates depend on the number of people in your group:
1 to 4 passengers: $1200/group
5 passengers: $1400/group
6 to 8 passengers: $2100/group
- Minimum age 8 years old.
- Maximum weight per passenger is 300 lbs
- Each passenger over 245 lbs will be an additional $100
This package includes only cargo that can fit in the small space under each seat. Normally this would be a small day pack per person.
If you would like to include props for a photo shoot, extra gear, flowers or anything that does not fit under the seats you can book an extra flight exclusively for cargo for $350.
