Anchored in Anchorage, Alaska, FLY907 offers some of the most immersive aerial and on-foot wilderness experiences in the state. Specializing in glacier tours and bear-viewing expeditions, this local outfit connects adventurers with iconic Alaskan landscapes few get to witness intimately—from the towering Chugach Mountains and their hanging ice to the raw calving fronts of Mt. Spurr’s glaciers.

Fly out from Anchorage and within minutes you’ll be soaring over wild terrain—vast glaciers, fjords, and pristine coastlines. Options include landing near Knik Glacier, where a short hike over rugged, rocky slopes puts you inches from deep crevasse edges framed by ancient ice, or cruising above Mt. Spurr’s sprawling icefields, one of the more active volcanoes in Alaska. Lake Clark and Katmai tours pair floatplane comfort with world-class wildlife watching. Here, you can witness brown bears fishing along riverbanks or lounging near lake shores, while Beluga whales and seals surface below your flight path.

Adventure Tips

Wear sturdy footwear for glacier hikes

Rocky terrain around glacier landings can be slippery and uneven; sneakers or hiking shoes are recommended over sandals.

Bring binoculars for wildlife viewing

Birds, bears, seals, and whales can be spotted from the plane or onshore, and binoculars sharpen those unforgettable close-ups.

Prepare for sudden weather changes

Alaskan mountain weather shifts rapidly—pack layers and waterproof gear to stay comfortable through variable conditions.

Charge your camera batteries fully

The light and scenes change fast—having fully charged gear ensures you don’t miss key photo moments during short landings.
