Venture to places of rare beauty that pilots discover and usually keep to themselves as you journey far from typical flightseeing routes.

This uniquely customized helicopter program features remote glacier-filled valleys, the vast Gold Rush country beyond historic Skagway and two glacier landings.

After liftoff from the heliport near Skagway harbor, you'll fly past Crystal Symphony before continuing into a rugged region of sheer mountains and glaciers. The precise itinerary remains flexible, allowing the pilot to provide the best possible experience under the conditions of the day.

Sights may include the majestic waterfalls lining the canyon leading to the Ferebee Glacier or the jagged peaks surrounding the Chilkat Glacier. After landing at one of these remote hideaways, your pilot will shut off the engine and personally introduce you to the serene and silent landscape.

You'll discover such intriguing glacier features as clear azure pools, crevasses and moraines. Don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Approximately 2 hours.
