The Top 1 Glacier Tours in Skagway

Skagway is blessed with numerous glaciers - in fact, seeing a glacier is one of the top reasons why visitors flock to this small but characterful city. On a Skagway glacier tour, you can expect wonderful views, a feeling of awe at the sheer scale of the glaciers, and the thrill of being one of the few people who can get up close to the pristine icy-blue wilderness of Skagway. 

You don’t need any experience to join the Skagway Glacier Discovery Helicopter Tour - only a sense of adventure and respect for Mother Nature’s creation. Your day will begin with an awe-inspiring helicopter flight over the pretty town of Skagway, en route to Ferebee, Chilkat, or Meade Glacier - your pilot will choose which glacier provides the best viewing experience on the day. Land directly on the glacier and take part in a 40-minute walk across the surface of this icy behemoth. Take a detailed look at the main elements of the glacier, with razor-sharp shards of ice, and deep crevasses that form the glacier shell. Your return helicopter flight passes over the picturesque Chilkat mountain range, so keep your camera at the ready!

All your equipment is included in this tour, as well as collection and drop-off from a convenient location. Let us deal with the logistics while you relax and enjoy your Skagway glacier tour!
