Langham1865 Posted May 3, 2018 #1 Share Posted May 3, 2018 So I will be going to Alaska this August and want to splurge on a plane or helicopter ride in one of the ports. My cruise will be stopping in Juneau, Ketchikan and Skagway. Looking for a recommendation as to which port would be best to do it in. I know I can do one or the other in more than one port. Just hoping for feedback about which will be most impressive to do it in. Thanks in advance... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rydain Posted May 3, 2018 #2 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Spousal Unit and I did an extended glacier trek via helicopter in Juneau. If you're interested in an exploratory and active excursion, I'd highly recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherryharley Posted May 3, 2018 #3 Share Posted May 3, 2018 We are doing a floatplane tour of Misty Fjords (out of Ketchikan) that will land on a lake.Photos of the area are stunning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikaula Posted May 4, 2018 #4 Share Posted May 4, 2018 We did a floatplane in Ketchikan to go bear viewing. We also went on a helicopter to go dog sledding on top of a glacier in Skagway. Both were amazing and pretty expensive but they were bucket list trips & I loved both of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougH Posted May 5, 2018 #5 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Do a flight out of Skagway over Glacier Bay with Mountain Flying. He is based down in Haines but does flights from Skagway also. Spectacular and lots of flight time for your $$$. Highly recommended. Last year we even landed up in a mountain pass overlooking Glacier Bay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
