About this tour

Take to the skies on an Anchorage Chugach Explorer Helicopter Tour, where the Chugach Range and Knik River Valley unfold beneath you in a sweep of peaks, glaciers, waterfalls, and wilderness. From the air, watch for wildlife and take in Alaska’s dramatic glacial terrain before touching down at three locations chosen to suit your interests.

Step onto exposed glacier ice and explore features such as blue pools, moulins, and deep crevasses with your pilot. Or land high in the alpine for broad views of glaciers and rocky ridgelines, beside a glacial lake dotted with floating icebergs, or near a striking ice wall. Flight paths and landing choices are customized around your bucket-list sights, with your pilot also able to share a favorite spot. Safety equipment and microspikes are provided; round-trip transportation is available for an additional fee.

With three distinct landings and sweeping aerial views, this Anchorage Chugach Explorer Helicopter Tour offers a memorable way to experience Alaska’s glacier country. Arrive 30 minutes before departure and get ready to explore from above and on the ground.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 7 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Anchorage
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.5. Top 41% in Anchorage means it ranks in the top 41% of tours in Anchorage by this score.
