Flightseeing—via a helicopter or small fixed-wing plane—is a great option for time-strapped visitors looking to see as much of Kenai Fjords as possible. Helicopters are also used by kayaking, hiking, yoga, and ice climbing guides to transport clients to remote areas.

A quick flight to the top of Mt. Marathon gives you a bird’s-eye view of town before descending the hiker’s trail. Guided fly-in trips to more remote locations are also available. Take your sun salutations to new heights with helicopter yoga tours.
