FLIGHT SEEING OPTION
Contact us for
details
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.
