Fly over the Chugach Mountains, land on a remote glacier, and take in Prince William Sound’s dramatic coastline from above.

About this tour

Rise above Girdwood Valley and the rugged Chugach Mountains on an Anchorage Prince William Sound helicopter tour that trades busy roads for sweeping views of peaks, hanging glaciers, and blue fjords. From the air, look for moose, Dall sheep, and mountain goats before landing on a remote glacier to explore the ice on foot.

After your glacier stop, continue over the pristine waters of Prince William Sound on an extended return flight. Your pilot brings you near a massive, roughly 400-foot tidewater glacier, where you may spot marine wildlife such as whales, otters, and sea lions. Glacier calving may be visible when conditions allow. The 90-minute experience includes a guided glacier visit and offers a rare perspective on terrain accessible only by helicopter.

The tour departs from Girdwood Airport, with shuttle transportation available for an additional fee. Weather can affect departures, and larger parties may travel in multiple aircraft. Book your Anchorage Prince William Sound helicopter tour for an unforgettable flight over Alaska’s wild coastline.

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 8.4. Top 12% in Anchorage means it ranks in the top 12% of tours in Anchorage by this score.
