  • Glacier Landing Tour

    Walk on a remote glacier’s virgin edge.

    Duration: 1.5 hr

    This is our most popular flight-seeing tour. You will land on Bridge Glacier Lake, a spectacular icy green lake which has formed as the Bridge Glacier has receded. Very few humans have ever set foot on these shores. You will have time to get out of the airplane and have a short walk across virgin terrain beside icebergs floating in the colorful glacial water. Pine Forests, which the glacier covered over 2,000 years ago are once again visible alongside alpine flowers reclaiming the barren moraine.

    *Please note that Glacier Lake landing is subject to weather.
