FLIGHT SEEING OPTION

Fly high above the spectacular Knik Valley. See the immensity of the natural wonders and grasp the awe inspiring size of Knik and her sister glaciers. There is nothing like seeing Alaska from a small bush plane. An experience you will never forget. Most flight seeing in Alaska requires Flight time between the airport and the glaciers or mountain scenery, wasting valuable fly time. When you take a flight out of glacier camp you are immediately rewarded with spectacular Alaskan scenery. With all things considered we feel this is the best flightseeing opportunity and value in Alaska. Add a flight to any of our tours.
