Glacier Bay Scenic Flights...
Folks, I guarantee your satisfaction on all scenic flights, period.
When you join me for a flightseeing flight on a cruise ship shore excursion or as an independent traveler, you're heading into gorgeous country. If you want me to kick on the ipod so you can be in your own world, that's fine. If on the other hand you want to hear about glaciology, geology, snow science and the time I buzzed the grizzly that was chasing some skiiers down the glacier- then I'll gnaw your ear off. It's your flight, I realize for many people this is a once in a lifetime experience, and I'll treat it as such. I want to knock your socks off! Glacier Bay and the surrounding area is one of the most alluring wilderness areas on the entire planet, It's certainly my personal paradise. I'd be keen on sharing it with you. Let's go Flying!

Glacier Bay East Arm 1 hour $160/person*
|
 |
If you've only got 1 hour in the budget, this is the best hour you can possibly spend in Glacier Bay. We'll fly over the Chilkat and Takhinsha Mountain ranges and descend into the splendor that is the East Arm. Warming trends, while forboding, have made the McBride Glacier extremely active. You will not be dissapointed.
 * Prices above are based upon a Haines departure. See Rates & Reservations for other departure options.

Glacier Bay West Arm 1.3 hours $190/person*
|
 |
The West Arm of Glacier Bay has twice the vertical relief of the East Arm! From the tourquoise waters of the Rendu Inlet to the 15,000' snow smattered walls of the Fairweather Range, to the John's Hopkins glacier and the Brady Icefield; this area is phenomenal!
 * Prices above are based upon a Haines departure. See Rates & Reservations for other departure options.

Outer Coast; Custom Charter 2 hour $300/person*
|
 |
From the mountains to the sea; a flight of truly epic proportions and stark contrast. We'll see pristine uninhabited coastline and the home of the worlds highest recorded wave (a 1,726' wall of water in Lituya Bay). These 2 hours will rock your world.
 * Prices above are based upon a Haines departure. See Rates & Reservations for other departure options.

It's not a hoax- the glaciers are dissapearing.
The 2 slides below show how drastically the glaciers are receding, the first of each was taken in 1981- less than 30 years ago! (scroll over image to pause the slideshow.)

Glacier Landings The most affordable remote landings in town!
|
 |
Be sure to ask about landing during your flight. If the conditions allow, I am usually into it. Stepping into the mountains out of the sky makes for a tangible & visceral experience that won't be forgotten.

 |
|
These options are just the beginning... I am more than willing to go anywhere you want to go. I will pro-rate flights from 1/2 hour to 4 hours; It's your world baby!
