Helicopter Tours
The Alaska helicopter tours are a great way to fly off to rural
regions and experience the beauty of the state in a quiet and private
environment. From the air, you are able to take in a wide range of
landscapes that are impossible to behold from the ground as you soar in
low level flight over some of the regions most spectacular scenery. Many
of the top helicopter services will also include support activities such
as a dog sledding ride through deep snow and trekking tours over the ice.
One of the more popular stops includes Mendenhall Glacier for an
up-close and personal visit to the rugged Alaskan terrain with its
towering forests and alpine mountain peaks.
The Skagway helicopter excursions take their guests into the heartbeat
of the Iditarod racing district with visits to the dog sled camps and a
chance to get to know the animals one by one. Combine this scenic
helicopter tour with a chance of a lifetime to strap yourself in the dog
sled and fly over the virgin snow with a team of Malamute huskies as
your personal escort. The dogs love to pull their sleds and wait
anxiously for the signal to "go" for a brisk adventure at top speed over
the powdered snow. Instead of taking helicopter tours, you can also play online games and have a lot of fun.
The Alaska helicopter tours operate from Juneau , Anchorage, Haines,
Seward, Deanli, Ketchikan, Sitka and more with easy booking arrangement
made from the cruise ship travel excursion desks. And although the
helicopter tours are some of the costliest excursions, they are worth
every penny and should be on your list of things to do, especially for
the first-time Alaska visitors.
