20 Minute Helicopter Tour

Lift off into the heart of the Alaska backcountry on this 20-minute heli flightseeing adventure. The moment you leave the ground, Borealis Basecamp shrinks below you and the Last Frontier opens up in every direction — snow-draped ridgelines, untouched wilderness, and the vast, sweeping panoramas of Alaska’s Interior that few ever get to see this way.

As you soar, your pilot points out the landmarks that make this place so special, including the famous Trans-Alaska Pipeline threading its way across the landscape far below. Then, all too soon, you’ll glide back toward Basecamp — eyes wide, camera full, and a fresh appreciation for just how wild and wondrous this corner of Alaska really is.

It’s a short flight that leaves a lasting impression: adventure, awe, and a front-row seat to wonder, all in 20 unforgettable minutes.

Tour Highlights

  • Basecamp Vistas: Watch Borealis Basecamp and its remote ridgeline unfold beneath you for a perspective only a handful of guests ever see.

  • Panoramas of the Interior: Take in the vast, untouched sweep of snow-draped wilderness stretching as far as the eye can see.
