Experience private snowmobiling high on Alaska’s Kenai Mountains glacier snowfields on this truly exclusive excursion. Helicopters provide private access to the Godwin Glacier, flying your group above Resurrection Bay and past a blue ice face to our secluded glacier snowfield basecamp. Operating snowmachines requires basic motorsport skills as you follow your personal guide on a looping journey, with ample stops for photos in the alpine area.
Your adventure begins at the Seward Helicopters office at the Seward Airport. Here, your group will check in for a snow safety briefing, gear selection, and helicopter orientation. Once outfitted, prepare your cameras and sunglasses for the ten-minute helicopter ride into a pristine white glacier world. Basecamp is nestled on the snowfield, surrounded by mountains, providing an ideal, private setting for snowmobiling. Your dedicated guides will walk you through every step of the ride
Snowmachines, as they’re known in Alaska, are similar to other motorsports with handlebar controls for throttle and brake. They offer Alaska’s favorite winter activity. Balance in sloping terrain, eye-hand coordination, and a sense of adventure will help you navigate the snowy environment. Traversing the Godwin Glacier accesses overlooks which, on clear days, include ocean views of the Kenai Fjords’ Day Harbor, all for your private viewing. You’ll loop back to our basecamp to conclude your ride and prepare for the heli-tour back to Seward. This private, summer helicopter-accessed snowmobiling experience is a distinctive and highly exclusive offering in Alaska.
Meets at the Seward Airport – 10:20 AM & 2:20 PM check in times, allow 3 to 4 hours for flexibility, call for custom timing or for larger groups. *** plus Alaska DNR fee, Kenai Borough tax and helicopter fuel surcharge
