Helicopter Explorer
Do you want to maximize your time exploring the Matanuska Glacier? The Helicopter Explorer tour allows you to experience our Advanced Trek without having to hike 2 miles on the moraine. Tour guests can expect to spend up to 3 hours on the white ice, utilizing ropes to scramble up walls, hike beside crevasses, and enjoy the beauty of moulins and blue pools. One of our highly trained guides will help you experience the most the glacier has to offer!
Minimum age 12 years old.
Looking for something a bit more extreme? Stay out on the ice longer on our Ultimate Helicopter Glacier Tour!
