Glaciers
A flightseeing adventure from Anchorage offers incredible opportunities to view Alaska’s glaciers from above.
East of Anchorage are the Chugach Mountains, where the sweeping Knik Glacier and its dramatic hanging glaciers spill through the rugged terrain. To the west, the Alaska Range holds the Triumvirate and Capps Glaciers, each flowing like frozen rivers through steep valleys and peaks. Flights toward Prince William Sound or the Kenai Peninsula reveal panoramas of tidewater glaciers spilling into the sea.
Wildlife Spotting
Taking to the skies opens up the chance to spot Alaska’s incredible wildlife in their natural surroundings.
From the air, it’s often possible to glimpse Dall sheep or mountain goats clinging to high ridges, or moose moving quietly through river valleys and wetlands. Depending on where we fly, you might catch sight of bears foraging along streams, or even a fox or wolf crossing the open tundra. Flights that extend over coastal waters bring a different view altogether. Watch for whales surfacing in the ocean below, sea otters drifting in sheltered bays, or sea lions basking on rocky outcrops.
Scenic Alaska
Every flight from Anchorage offers sweeping views of Alaska’s unforgettable scenery.
Towering mountains rise in every direction, from the jagged peaks of the Chugach Range to the vast expanse of the Alaska Range, where Denali stands tall among active volcanoes. Below, the land unfolds in a patchwork of alpine tundra, glacier-fed rivers, and endless wilderness. Coastal vistas bring together the rugged cliffs and volcanic summits along Cook Inlet, tidewater glaciers of Prince William Sound, and the majestic mountains and fjords of the Kenai Peninsula
Prince William Sound
Prince William Sound is one of Alaska’s most breathtaking regions, a vast expanse of fjords, inlets, and rugged peaks stretching across 15,000 square miles.
From the air, the landscape is defined by tidewater glaciers, their brilliant blue ice spilling into the sea and breaking away in dramatic calving displays. This region is also rich with wildlife. Whales, seals, sea otters, and bald eagles are often seen here, with sea lions congregating on rocky shorelines and black bears foraging for salmon when they are running.
