Juneau Glacier Helicopter Tour with Herbert Glacier Landing

Your experience

Fly by helicopter to Herbert Glacier for a guided glacier landing and walk, with options for dog sledding or a private helicopter.

Getting started

Begin at the Goldbelt Mt. Roberts Tram area, where your included transportation takes you to the helicopter base.

After a brief safety orientation, you board the helicopter and lift off toward Herbert Glacier for your flightseeing route.

What to expect

Herbert Glacier

This tour centers on Herbert Glacier, where your helicopter lands directly on the ice so you can explore on foot with your pilot guide.

Features

• Helicopter flightseeing: View the Herbert Glacier landscape from the air during the journey to Herbert Glacier, including approximately 15 minutes outbound and 15 minutes on the return leg on the base group itinerary.

• Glacier landing: Step out for a landing on Herbert Glacier and feel the surface of exposed blue ice underfoot as you move around the landing zone.

• Guided glacier walk: Join a 20–25 minute walkabout on the glacier with your pilot guide, who leads you across the ice, explains the terrain, and manages timing before your return flight.

• Convenient travel: Use the transport to/from the meeting point. Your total tour time covers both the van transfers and the helicopter portion.

• Upgrade to a private tour: If you choose the Private Helicopter Glacier Landing with Herbert Glacier Walk Tour, ride in a private helicopter for groups up to 6, have the aircraft to yourselves, and receive a water bottle per passenger included for your glacier time.

Alternatively, you can also book the dog sledding experience to enjoy a 40-min dog sled ride with your Herbert Glacier landing and helicopter tour.
