Description

Take your Alaskan adventure to new heights with the Seward Bear Glacier Landing tour, an incredible excursion offered by Alaska Shore Tours. This one-of-a-kind experience combines the thrill of a scenic helicopter flight with an exclusive glacier landing, giving you a front-row seat to the untouched beauty of Kenai Fjords National Park.

Departing from our base near the Seward airport, your journey begins with breathtaking aerial views of Resurrection Bay. As we soar over the rugged coastline, keep an eye out for moose, Dall sheep, black bears, and a variety of marine wildlife. After about 15 minutes, we reach the stunning Bear Glacier, known for its massive crevasses and an iceberg-filled lagoon that shimmers in shades of blue and white.

The most exciting part of your adventure is the Seward Bear Glacier Landing. Your helicopter will touch down on a remote Alaskan shoreline, where you’ll have 35 minutes to explore with your experienced pilot/guide. Hear the thunderous crack of the glacier calving into the water, walk along the untouched beach, and marvel at the towering icebergs floating nearby. This is a rare opportunity to experience the power and majesty of Alaska’s wilderness up close.

For the return flight, we stay low over Resurrection Bay, offering another chance to spot marine life enjoying the rich waters of this pristine ecosystem. This tour is accessible for guests with limited mobility, and we are happy to accommodate wheelchair users upon request.

Don’t miss this extraordinary adventure. Book your Seward Bear Glacier Landing tour today with Alaska Shore Tours and experience the wild beauty of Alaska like never before!

Frequently Asked Questions

How long is this excursion?

The helicopter flight is approximately 25 minutes of aerial sightseeing with 35 minutes at the lagoon to explore and take pictures of the glacier. 

What if I need extra help on the tour?
Please contact us before your booking if you need wheelchair or limited mobility access so that we can discuss your needs. We take great pleasure in adapting to offer this opportunity to those who think they cannot participate in activities like this!
What should I wear?
For this dog sledding tour, layered clothing is essential for both safety and comfort. Wear a long-sleeved shirt, a sweater, and a waterproof jacket. It's also a good idea to bring gloves, a hat, and sunglasses. High-heeled shoes and sandals are not permitted. We will provide you with overboots that will enable you to traverse the glacier safely; these go over your shoes and fit best with sneakers, but boots work just as well. Don't forget to bring your camera to capture the breathtaking scenery!
What happens if the weather is too bad to fly?

The Seward area boasts one of the best climates in Alaska, making flights and dog sled tours rarely subject to cancelation. However, bad weather still happens, and it's impossible to predict when this will happen. If the pilots deem the weather too dangerous, we will do our utmost to reschedule your tour. If you're unwilling to reschedule or we can't find a suitable time, you'll be refunded.
