Juneau Glacier Adventure
About the Tour
Soar over the massive Juneau Icefield on Era Flightseeing’s signature tour, the Glacier Adventure.
Visit a landscape from another world. Experience the spectacular icefalls and rock formations of the Juneau Icefield from the air and on foot. Accessible only by air, the region around the Juneau Icefield is filled with lush forests, glassy alpine lakes, jagged mountain peaks, and awe-inspiring glaciers. On this unforgettable journey you may find Alaska’s unique glaciers in differing stages: advancing, retreating, cascading, or a one-of-a-kind floating glacier. After flightseeing our amazing glaciers, your pilot will gently set you down on one of these ancient “rivers of ice”. Under your pilot’s expert guidance you will get a chance to walk on an Alaskan glacier, explore the ancient landscape, and experience the otherworldly blue of Alaska‘s glacial ice!
Enjoy approximately 35 minutes of flight time and 20 minutes of exploration on the glacier during this adventure of a lifetime! (Total tour time is 2 hours.)
