How many passengers per helicopter?

Answer: Each helicopter can seat up to 6 passengers, provided the weight and balance calculations work out in each aircraft.

What if my tour group is larger than 6 people?

Answer: There are several helicopters available at the base and can make accommodations for larger groups with advance notice. If your group exceeds 6 passengers and requires the use of multiple aircraft, we instruct the pilots to coordinate landing locations on the glacier so that you can have your landing time together.

Will we see wildlife on the tour?

Answer: There is a good chance wildlife will be seen during your tour, either in flight or while on the hike. However, this is not a wildlife viewing tour and we cannot guarantee you will see wildlife.

Can children come on the tour?
