Seward & Kenai Fjords Flightseeing Tours
Flightseeing in Alaska affords you a spectacular bird’s-eye view of the landscape—some excursions take you close to Denali and other tall peaks. But Seward offers up a different and unique perspective.
Lift off from Seward and in minutes you could be flying over the massive Harding Icefield; across Resurrection Bay, where tidewater glaciers spill into the water; and above the craggy green cliffs and rock formations rising out of the water in Kenai Fjords National Park. It’s not uncommon to spot whales and other marine wildlife in the shimmering water, mountain goats clinging to the cliffs, and bears walking along the shore.
For a small town, Seward serves up a variety of flightseeing options. You can take to the skies in a helicopter, a fixed-wing airplane, or a floatplane that lifts off from a glacially fed lake just 25 minutes north in the town of Moose Pass. All are magical. All companies offer the opportunity for landings mid-flight. Helicopters come with the option of landing in unique spots, like on a glacier for some heli-hiking or dogsledding, or on a mountaintop for an unforgettable picnic.
Here are our recommendations for Seward flightseeing companies.
