Description
Discover the wild beauty of Alaska with the Seward Bear Glacier Landing tour, a premier experience offered by Seward Shore Tours. This excursion combines the thrill of a scenic helicopter flight with the rare opportunity to step foot on a remote glacier-fed beach, making it an adventure you won’t want to miss.
Your journey begins with a departure from our base near the Seward airport. Almost immediately, you’ll be treated to stunning aerial views of Resurrection Bay, where the rugged coastline and deep blue waters provide the perfect backdrop for spotting moose, Dall sheep, black bears, and marine wildlife. About 15 minutes into the flight, we enter Kenai Fjords National Park, home to the breathtaking Bear Glacier. Marvel at the massive ice formations, deep crevasses, and a lagoon filled with floating icebergs.
The highlight of this adventure is the Seward Bear Glacier Landing. Your helicopter will touch down on a secluded shoreline, where you’ll step out to explore for 35 minutes with your experienced pilot/guide. Listen to the thunderous sound of the glacier calving into the water and get an up-close look at the towering icebergs near the shore. This is your chance to truly connect with Alaska’s raw and untouched wilderness.
On the return flight, we stay low over Resurrection Bay, offering another opportunity to spot wildlife enjoying the rich waters of this pristine area. The tour is accessible for guests with limited mobility, and we are happy to accommodate wheelchair users upon request.
