The Top 15 Flightseeing Tours in Juneau

Alaska is a vast wilderness of contrasting landscapes that can be difficult to appreciate from the ground. A Juneau flightseeing tour will give you a bird’s eye perspective of the amazing icy scenery below, while also enjoying the thrill of a helicopter or seaplane ride. 

The 5 Glacier Seaplane Exploration departs from Juneau’s scenic waterfront, flying toward the gorgeous surrounding mountains and the famous icefield. You’ll be able to enjoy a full 40 minutes in the air and, even better, there are no middle seats! Everyone on the trip gets a window to enjoy bird’s eye views of the glaciers. Take in the details of the ever-changing icescape as you soar overhead. As the plane doesn’t land on the glacier, this is an ideal Juneau flightseeing tour for all the family. 

You could also consider the Mendenhall Glacier Helicopter & Sled, which combines all the excitement of a helicopter flight with a high-adrenaline dogsled ride. Take in the stunning views of the icy terrain, listening to fascinating facts from your pilot. Then, after landing on the glacier - a thrill in itself! - you’ll meet your huskies, who will be primed and ready to take you on a scenic ride over the top of the Mendenhall Glacier. 

To get even more bang for your buck, why not choose the Helicopter Dogsledding with Extra Landing tour? This combines all the fun of a helicopter and dogsled ride, but also incorporates walking on the huge Herbert Glacier, an experience that’s not available to many, thanks to its remote location. This will definitely be a day to remember!
