Alaskan Wildlife
Alaska is well known for its spectacular wildlife both big and small. People come from all over the world to experience the wild and grandeur of the Alaskan terrain. One of the best ways to see some of Alaska’s most sought after wildlife is via helicopter. Helicopter tours provide a unique aerial view covering more ground than you could on foot or by car.

Many parts of Alaska remain untouched and in their purest natural form making it a haven for outdoor lovers everywhere. Whether you are a big birder or hoping to see a bear in its’ natural habitat, Alaska is a great place to see unique wildlife. Being above the landscape brings incredible panoramic views. In addition, the helicopter allows you to see animals that might have otherwise run off into hiding if they heard you coming on foot.
