The
Adventure Tour is approximately 1.5 hours and takes you deep into
the 1500 sq. mile Juneau Icefield. Within moments of your departure, you
will be flying over the breathtaking azure blue ice spires and deep crevasses
that abound in the Juneau Icefield. This tour is narrated either by our
custom CD or by your pilot/guide. The helicopter will make one landing
on a glacier where you will be able to step out onto the awesome and spectacular
surroundings. Be sure to bring your camera, as you can be sure that every
picture will be a memory in the making. Your pilot will act as your guide
while describing your surroundings. Truly your "Pathway to Adventure"
and a trip not to be missed.
