5-Glacier Seaplane Exploration

The grandeur of Alaska’s epic glaciers will thrill and delight you on Juneau’s ONLY five glacier seaplane tour.  Your adventure begins the moment your floatplane departs the waters of the historic downtown Juneau waterfront. Fly in a classic, 10 passenger, DeHavilland Otter floatplane which offers each guest an individual window seat view and headset for continuous narration throughout the flight. En route, you will soar over the lush wilderness that is the Tongass National Forest until your first glimpse of five distinctly different and majestic glaciers within the 1,500-square-mile Juneau Icefield. Glide past deep crevasses and azure blue meltwater pools of the Norris, Hole-In-The-Wall, East and West Twin Glaciers, as well as the famous Taku Glacier. With a base of 5 miles wide, the Taku Glacier is the largest in the entire Juneau Icefield. Seeing glaciers from the air and doing so by authentic bush plane, is a MUST DO and is the quintessential Alaskan experience!

Raining on the day of your tour? Juneau sits in the world’s largest temperate rainforest so we are used to getting some rain. If weather conditions are such that we cannot provide a safe and quality tour, we will cancel flights as needed and you will be issued a full refund. Otherwise, cloudy days with a little rain can be some of our best glacier-viewing days because the blue hues of the ice really pop! Clouds or sunshine, this trip will be an experience of a lifetime and a true look at Mother Nature in her finest. This is the essence of what memories are made of. Everyone has a window seat!
