Easy
Max 20

Fly over the glaciers and mountains of Prince William Sound on a helicopter tour that provides aerial perspectives impossible to see from the ground or water. The pilot navigates over tidewater glaciers, alpine ice fields, and remote peaks, with the option for a glacier landing to walk on the ice. The 1.5-hour total includes approximately 45-60 minutes of flight time. Weight limits apply. This is the most dramatic way to see the Prince William Sound landscape. Highly weather-dependent with flexible rebooking. Despite the high price, travelers consistently rate this as their most memorable Alaska experience. Departs from the Whittier helipad near the cruise terminal.
