The Experience:

Load up into our state of the art helicopters and begin your bucket-list worthy adventure! Our highly-trained pilots will lift you off the ground and safely transport you over some of the most breathtaking sights you have ever seen. Lush green rainforests, alpine ridges, and glacier valleys pass beneath you as you make your way across Juneau's magnificent terrain! Have a birds-eye view of the awe-inspiring blue glacier ice, deep crevasses, spectacular ice falls and the jagged peaks of the Mendenhall Towers.

Additional Information:

Surcharge Policy:

Due to weight and balance limitations, as well as guest safety and comfort, passengers weighing 250 pounds (113kg or 18 Stone) or more will be charged an additional $100.00 to reserve adequate space on board the helicopter. Total weight includes shoes and clothing. Surcharge must be paid at time of booking.

Baggage Policy:

TEMSCO’s policies prohibit the following items on our aircraft/tour:

• Bags or cases of any kind
• iPads or tablets, tripods
• Selfie sticks or other extendible items
• Drones
• Water bottles or liquids.

We will provide you with lockers at our base where you may leave such items. No smoking of any kind is allowed for the duration of the tour.

Transportation:

We are happy to provide transportation to our base from the Mount Roberts Tramway and several select hotels. Detailed information about pickup location is included in your confirmation email.

Passenger Ability/Mobility:

All TEMSCO excursions are listed as “MODERATE” activity level for the following reasons:

• The distance walking from our heli base to the aircraft and the distance from the helicopters to our camp on the glacier. This is approximately 100 feet (30 meters).
• The sizeable steps that guests must navigate while getting in and out of the aircraft. These steps are approximately 18” in height.
• Due to liability reasons, our employees cannot lift guests in or out of the helicopter. TEMSCO staff will be there to lend a helping hand, though ultimately guests are responsible for navigating these steps on their own.

Aircraft Seating:

We arrange seating based on the weight, balance, and safety of the whole departure, and cannot guarantee that we will be able to keep groups together on the aircraft. Please note that we will do everything possible to keep groups together for the flight portion of the tour, but we are sometimes required to split a group between multiple helicopters. All groups will be together for the glacier portion of the tour.

Lap Children:

A child does not need their own seat if they are under 24 months old on the day that they take the tour. These children are considered a lap child and are free of charge. A parent or guardian is responsible for holding the child securely for the entire tour. Any child 24 months of age or older is required to have their own seat per FAA regulations and therefore will require a full fare ticket for our tour.

Attire:

We recommend dressing in warm layers, as clothing is not provided by TEMSCO. Gloves, hats, sunglasses, and a good pair of walking shoes are recommended.

Weather Cancellations:

Unfortunately, the weather in Alaska does not always cooperate and there are times when we are unable to fly. If we are unable to fly a tour due to weather, our guests will receive a full refund. In most cases we will not make the decision to cancel a tour until within an hour of departure, as the weather can quickly change and we do not want to preemptively cancel a tour if it is at all possible it will run.
