About this experience
Our signature flightseeing and glacier landing tour, includes 30 mins of flightseeing and 30 mins landed at 3 Glacier areas including on the glacier itself. This tour includes an alpine landing where you will have 30 mins to see the grand size of the 5 mile wide and 29 mile long Knik Glacier with a birds eye view. Your 2nd landing takes you to a 100 foot ice wall where you may even be able to see the massive ice calve . After 30 minutes exploring you go to the glacier landing right in the middle of Knik Glacier, where you can get out of the helicopter and spend about 30 minutes exploring ancient ice.

Once in a lifetime experience
My son and I went on the Grand Knik tour with three landings and WOW! We absolutely loved it! Dylan was our pilot and he was the best! Besides being a great pilot, he told us all about the glacier and surrounding area. During the landings he walked around with us and explained everything. He even showed us what wild berries to eat and of course we tried them. The last landing on the ice itself was an out of this world experience. We spent almost two weeks touring Alaska and this was by the highlight of the trip. I highly recommend this tour to anyone going to Alaska.

Great tour
Amazing view, friendly pilot, great service, highly recommend. Make sure you book early on your trip, since weather may change so you have time to reschedule, because you don’t want to miss this.

Best tour, great value.
We had the best experience with this company. The guide, Kory, went above and beyond to show us the best sites. Kory was kind, patient and compassionate with our quirky child. We saw wildlife, got to speed time on Knik glacier and stop at some other gorgeous sites. I highly recommend this tour company.

Excellent way to see a glacier up close!
Excellent opportunity to see, land and fly over a glacier - excellent tour guide/helicopter pilot - Ryan. Thoroughly enjoyed the three hour tour, the three landings and our guide.

Why this scores 75
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Grand Knik Helicopter Tour - 2 hours 3 landings - ANCHORAGE AREA: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Anchorage.
How much does Grand Knik Helicopter Tour - 2 hours 3 landings - ANCHORAGE AREA cost?
+
Prices start at $762 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Anchorage usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Grand Knik Helicopter Tour - 2 hours 3 landings - ANCHORAGE AREA take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Anchorage is not rushed.
Is Grand Knik Helicopter Tour - 2 hours 3 landings - ANCHORAGE AREA worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 423 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Anchorage, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Grand Knik Helicopter Tour - 2 hours 3 landings - ANCHORAGE AREA?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Grand Knik Helicopter Tour - 2 hours 3 landings - ANCHORAGE AREA suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Grand Knik Helicopter Tour - 2 hours 3 landings - ANCHORAGE AREA?
+
Around 148 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Anchorage can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Anchorage and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Grand Knik Helicopter Tour - 2 hours 3 landings - ANCHORAGE AREA start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Anchorage within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Anchorage?
+
Anchorage is the staging point for glacier cruises out of Whittier and Seward, Denali flightseeing, wildlife conservation centre visits, dog sledding and northern lights chases in winter. Long transfer times make itinerary honesty essential. On Outty we rank every Anchorage experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include PRISTINE - Wilderness, Wildlife, Glacier Experience in Anchorage, Anchorage Trolley's Deluxe City Tour, Anchorage Trolley's 1-Hour City Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Anchorage?
+
June to August for glaciers, September to March for aurora. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Anchorage?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
