Be a part of something unforgettable. Because the best moments are life changing ones.
We love our guests and sometimes it’s best to hear it firsthand. Don’t take our word for it. Hear it straight from the people who’ve been there, experienced it, and came back with memories that last a lifetime.
What makes the Seward Wildlife Explorer unique?
This is one of the best ways to experience Kenai Fjords National Park from above. You’ll cover a vast, remote landscape in a short amount of time, with the chance to see glaciers, mountains, ocean, and wildlife all in one flight.
What kind of wildlife might we see?
Wildlife sightings vary, but guests often spot whales, sea lions, and mountain goats. While sightings can’t be guaranteed, the area is rich with wildlife and offers a high likelihood of seeing animals in their natural habitat.
How long is the experience?
The total experience is about one hour of flight time, plus a brief check-in and safety briefing before departure.
Is this tour physically demanding?
Not at all. This is a light activity and perfect for guests of all ages and abilities. You’ll enjoy the entire experience from the comfort of the helicopter.
What does a typical flight look like?
After check-in and a safety briefing, you’ll take off for a one-hour scenic flight over Seward, Resurrection Bay, and Kenai Fjords National Park, with views of glaciers, mountains, and ocean landscapes before returning to base.
Will the helicopter get close to wildlife?
We follow strict guidelines to protect wildlife. The helicopter will not hover, descend, or circle animals, ensuring a respectful and safe viewing experience.
What should I bring?
Bring sunglasses and a camera. You’ll want to capture the views, and the lighting over the water and glaciers can be bright.
Are bags allowed on the helicopter?
No backpacks or large bags are allowed. Personal items should fit in your pockets, and any loose straps must be secured.
What happens if the weather changes?
Flights are weather dependent. If conditions aren’t safe, we’ll work with you to reschedule or provide a full refund.
