Heli Rafting Package

A 6-hour full day adventure, from mountain glacier headwaters to the Turnagain Arm ocean.

Access the remote glaciated Chugach Mountains with Alpine Air Alaska; there is no better view than from a Robinson R44 helicopter. Buzz the Twenty Mile Glacier and see the grand scope of the Chugach Mountains. Land on the iceberg laden Twenty-Mile Lake for your private raft adventure down Twenty Mile River. Float 12 stunning miles downriver to an ocean pick-up on Turnagain Arm at the Seward Highway. Keep a good look out for wildlife: bears, moose, bald eagles, and salmon.
