- Valdez Helicopter Tour Glacier View
Overview
While the landscape surrounding Valdez is exceptional from the ground, that same scenery seen from the air is jaw-dropping. Enjoy the views (and keep your camera close) on this flightseeing tour.
Glaciers to see in every direction.
Your tour takes off from the Valdez Airport. Views emerge and change dramatically as you gain altitude. Green mountainsides lead to jagged peaks and tumbling waterfalls flow from snowfields even in late summer. There are glaciers in every direction, and from the comfort of your R44 helicopter seat you'll enjoy some spectacular glacial views. The flight lasts 30 minutes from takeoff to touch down.
