Whether you want to view Skagway’s glaciers from the ground or the air, a Skagway glacier tour is the ideal way to witness Alaska’s awe-inspiring landscape. There’s little to beat seeing the electric-blue glaciers from the sky, marveling at how they resemble moving rivers, but knowing they’re frozen in ice. Taking an independent tour during your cruise is easy - check out our favorite glacier tour below and see if you’re tempted. 

On the Skagway Glacier Discovery Helicopter Tour, you’ll take to the skies over Skagway in a comfortable 6-person helicopter, soaring over miles of frozen terrain, while taking in the fascinating ice formations that have developed over time. Depending on weather conditions and visibility, your pilot will select the best glacier for your tour - either Ferebee, Meade, or Chilkat - so you know you’ll see the best of the best during your visit. After an expert touchdown on the glacier surface, you’ll be guided across the slick terrain, carefully exploring all the unique elements that make up a glacier. This is a thrilling adventure that highlights the beauty of glaciers, but also their delicacy and the importance of protecting them.
