Thrills abound on this tour that offers a personal, small-group glacier adventure by helicopter and airboat in the untouched, remote area of the Taku Glacier and River. Board a helicopter for a flight high above Juneau, the Tongass National Forest, the Juneau Ice Field, Gastineau Channel, and the Taku River. The helicopter lands on the deck at Taku Point, just across the river from the face of the Taku Glacier. You'll sit comfortably aboard the covered airboat, with open sides for the best possible views and photo opportunities. On the river, you'll cruise the five-mile face of Taku Glacier and come within arm's length of the ice. Back at Taku Point, you'll leave the airboat to re-join the helicopter that will take you up to the top of Taku Glacier for a glacier landing. Step out of the helicopter and set foot on the amazing 4,500-foot-thick ice.
