Seward sits at the edge of the Kenai Mountains with glaciers, fjords, and wildlife-rich coastline in every direction — making it one of the best flightseeing destinations in Alaska. Helicopter tours departing from Seward offer a perspective you simply cannot get from a cruise boat or hiking trail: soaring over crevassed icefields, landing on glaciers, and viewing Bear Glacier's turquoise lagoon from above.

The Seward Bear Glacier Tour is a 1-hour helicopter flight over the Harding Icefield to Bear Glacier, the largest glacier in Kenai Fjords National Park. You will see the glacier's massive terminus calving icebergs into a brilliant blue lagoon. For a longer adventure, the Grand Seward Helicopter Tour extends the flight to 2 hours, covering multiple glaciers and alpine valleys with a glacier landing included. The Seward Helicopter Dogsled & Bear Glacier Tour combines aerial sightseeing with a dog sledding experience on a remote glacier — a uniquely Alaskan combination that runs about 2.25 hours.

All Seward flightseeing tours operate from a helipad near the small boat harbor, with complimentary transportation from local hotels. Flights run from late May through mid-September, weather permitting. Each helicopter seats a small group for unobstructed views from every seat.
