About
The Northwestern Glacier Tour is an hour and a half trip that combines all the shorter tours and extends its reach into the fantastic basin of Harris Bay. This region looks like an enormous amphitheater of ice and snow with 5000 foot high walls lined with hanging glaciers. Plus the presence of Northwestern and Southwestern Glaciers. We fly into the basin at 1000 feet or less and fly along the massive vertical granite walls. You'll see beautiful beaches, vanishing remnants of melted glaciers, golf course like wilderness terrain and jagged peaks and ridgelines different and uniquely scenic from the rest of the Kenai Fjords National Park.
