Glacier Paddle Boarding
Experience the raw beauty of Alaska like never before on our exclusive Glacier Paddleboarding adventure. Available only in the summer, this half-day tour takes you by helicopter to a hidden, crystal-blue lake that forms atop the Knik Glacier—a surreal setting accessible only from the air.
Soar over the Chugach Mountains, then land beside this stunning meltwater lake where your paddleboarding journey begins. Surrounded by towering ice and untouched wilderness, you’ll glide across glassy water in one of the most unique and remote environments on earth. Choose a half-day tour (3–4 hours), or combine it with another glacier activity—like heli hiking or ice climbing—for a full-day (6–8 hours) experience.

Summer Glacier Paddleboarding Tours
Our glacier paddleboarding adventure is offered exclusively in the summer months, when Alaska's long days and milder conditions create the perfect environment for this unforgettable experience. Your journey begins with a scenic helicopter flight deep into the Knik River Valley , where you’ll soar over rugged peaks, bright blue crevasses, and sprawling glacial landscapes. After landing beside a remote glacial lake, your expert guide will lead you through a custom paddleboarding experience tailored to your comfort and adventure level.
This summer-exclusive tour is made possible through our partnership with Alaska Helicopter Tours.
