About This Adventure
An extended version of our Knik Glacier Tour that provides a truly next-level experience.
Duration
The tour consists of 1 hour and 45 minutes of total flight time, along with a 30-minute glacier landing on Colony Glacier.
About
This tour is truly once in a lifetime experience and provides overwhelming and breathtaking views of the Harriman, Serpentine, Barry, and Surprise Glaciers, all of which flow into Harriman Fjord.
This tour is, by far, the best glacier tour experience possible and happens to be Dusty’s favorite as the ice in Harriman Fjord is massive and hundreds of feet tall.
The flight path we take from the Wasilla Airport leads us through our Knick Glacier Tour and extends on into Prince William Sound and the Harriman Fjord.
