Glacier Bay Flightseeing 

Flightseeeing Tours in Glacier Bay
Folks, I guarantee your satisfaction on all scenic flights, period.

When you join me for a flightseeing flight on a cruise ship shore excursion or as an independent traveler, you’re heading into gorgeous country. If you want me to kick on the ipod so you can be in your own world, that’s fine. If on the other hand you want to hear about glaciology, geology, snow science and the time I buzzed the grizzly that was chasing some skiiers down the glacier- then I’ll gnaw your ear off. It’s your flight, I realize for many people this is a once in a lifetime experience, and I’ll treat it as such. I want to knock your socks off! Glacier Bay and the surrounding area is one of the most alluring wilderness areas on the entire planet, It’s certainly my personal paradise. I’d be keen on sharing it with you. Let’s go Flying!
