The Top 3 Helicopter Tours in Seward

Helicopter tours from Seward take you straight into the heart of the Kenai Mountains, flying over some of the most dramatic glacier landscapes in Alaska. These are not simple scenic flights — you will land on glaciers, hover above iceberg-filled lagoons, and see terrain that is completely inaccessible by road or trail.

The Seward Bear Glacier Tour is a focused 1-hour flight to Bear Glacier, the largest glacier in Kenai Fjords National Park. You will fly over the Harding Icefield and circle the glacier's turquoise lagoon before landing for photos. The Grand Seward Helicopter Tour doubles the flight time to 2 hours, covering multiple glaciers with an extended glacier landing. For the ultimate experience, the Seward Helicopter Dogsled & Bear Glacier Tour pairs a helicopter flight with a glacier dog sledding session — running huskies across a snowfield with mountain views in every direction.

All helicopter tours depart from a helipad near Seward's small boat harbor. Flight helmets, safety briefings, and hotel transfers are included. Tours operate from late May through mid-September. Browse the options below to find the right helicopter experience for your Alaska trip.
