Which Juneau Helicopter Tour Should You Do?
Juneau sits at the edge of the largest non-polar icefield on Earth. The Juneau Icefield stretches over 1,500 square miles of glaciers, snow-capped peaks, and ice formations that most people only see in documentaries. A helicopter tour is the single best way to experience it — and with three operators running nearly a dozen different tours out of Juneau, there is genuinely something for everyone, from a quick flightseeing trip with a glacier landing to a full afternoon of ice climbing. This guide breaks down every Juneau helicopter tour available in 2026 so you can figure out which one fits your schedule, your group, and the experience you are after.
