Highlights

In spring and summer, vibrant blue meltwater pools appear across the ice, offering unforgettable photo opportunities. Your tour includes a 30-minute glacier landing, giving you time to step onto the ice, explore with your pilot, and enjoy panoramic mountain views. Keep an eye out for wildlife—moose, bears, Dall sheep, and mountain goats are often seen in the backcountry below.

About Anchorage
Anchorage is Alaska's largest city, set on Cook Inlet beneath the Chugach Mountains, with coastal trails, wildlife and long summer daylight.
Anchorage sits between Cook Inlet and the Chugach Mountains in south-central Alaska, and it is the state's largest city. It began as a railway construction camp in 1915, and the Good Friday earthquake of 1964, among the strongest ever recorded, reshaped it; Earthquake Park marks the story. The Anchorage Museum covers art, history and science, and the Alaska Native Heritage Center presents the state's Indigenous cultures.
Top-ranked sights in Anchorage: Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, Earthquake Park, Lake Hood.
