About the Experience

Departing from Homer Airport, you’ll cross glittering Kachemak Bay toward the Kenai Mountains, gliding above glacier icefields, braided rivers, and cascading falls. Touch down near a glacier with sweeping bay views for photos and a guided walk with your pilot. Lift off again and follow rugged valleys to your second landing at a picturesque waterfall—feel the cool spray, listen to the rush of meltwater, and soak up the alpine silence. Wildlife sightings are common: keep watch for whales offshore, moose in the valleys, and—if you’re lucky—bears on the hillsides.
