What to Expect From a Juneau Icefield Tour

Buckle Up for the Ride!

Hold on tight as you soar above the Juneau Icefield with Coastal Helicopters. While you pass important landmarks and rock formations, your seasoned pilot-guide shares important facts about the mesmerizing landscape. If you’re lucky, you may even spot a black bear or other wildlife standing out against the stark white backdrop below. It’s an experience that will have you reminiscing for days!

How to Stick the Landing

The end of the helicopter tour marks the official beginning of your glacier walkabout. The flight lands you on your choice of either the Herbert, Taku, Lemon or Norris Glaciers. Keep in mind that Coastal Helicopters highly recommends exploring the Herbert Glacier. What sets this location apart is its complete and utter seclusion. Passengers claim that the untouched landscape genuinely makes them feel like they’re the only people in the entire world. It’s a surreal feeling that you’ll only understand after an hour exploration on the tour of Herbert Glacier.

What to Prepare

Juneau excursions can be a bit tricky at times. One minute you’ll be enjoying the brisk sunshine, and the next you’ll be battling unexpected winds. That being said, it’s important to adequately prepare for the fluctuating Juneau weather. The average temperature on a glacier is usually 10 to 15 degrees colder than it is on ground level, so make sure to wear gloves, a hat, and easily removable layers including a windbreaker. It’s also recommended to bring a pair of sunglasses to mute the shining white snow, while a glacier over-boot will be provided to help you walk across the icy terrain.
