Picking Your Scenic Flight
“What flight should I pick?” We get asked this question all the time. We know that picking a tour can be difficult. We’ve outlined how we think you should make this decision. All our flights are spectacular. We guarantee you will enjoy them. Simply put, the longer you fly, the more you will see and experience.
About Our Routes
All our flight routes are suggestions, and we are happy to alter them to suit your interest. After flying thousands of hours in the Seward area, we have determined our routes based on past customer feedback. Still, our routes can shift based on weather and to accommodate personal preferences. Of course, if we know of something exciting, we will deviate from a path to include that. Your pilot ultimately chooses the flight route based on current weather conditions and their local knowledge.

1. Determine Your Budget
Your budget should be an essential factor in deciding your tour. Our flights are expensive; that’s simply part of operating helicopters. Flying in a helicopter will offer you an unparalleled glimpse of Alaska’s majestic backcountry. If you want a more in-depth experience, consider choosing one of our helicopter adventure tours.
2. Figure Out What You Want to See
Everyone has different ideas about what they want to see during their flight. We have an incredibly varied backdrop. If your priority is wildlife viewing, we recommend a 45-minute or 60-minute flight. Our flights frequent an active salmon run from late June through late August with extremely high bear activity. We will cruise the mountainsides in early May and September, looking for Bears above the treeline.
3. Decide if You Want to Do A Landing or Other Excursion
Everyone has different ideas about what they want to see during their flight. Considering the importance of a landing should factor into your decision. We can add a landing onto any advertised flight for an added fee. Our Glacier Landing has a landing included. The Bear Glacier Extended Tour or The Grand View Tour can consist of a landing or longer flight time. If you want more time to explore, consider one of our Helicopter Adventures, which can cater to any activity level.
