Juneau: Taku Glacier Lodge 5-Glacier Flight & Feast

Embark on a flightseeing tour from Juneau to Taku Glacier Lodge. Enjoy aerial views of five glaciers, savor a meal at the lodge, and explore forested trails or relax by the hearth.
Embark on your ultimate Alaska adventure—where wilderness and wonder collide. Your journey begins as you take off from Juneau's waterfront in a classic De Havilland Otter floatplane. From the moment you lift off from the Juneau waterfront, you’ll be treated to rare aerial views of five massive glaciers—including Norris, East Twin, West Twin, Hole‑in‑the‑Wall, and the mighty, ever‑advancing Taku Glacier—all unfolding beneath you in shimmering cerulean and staggered whites.

Every seat is a window seat. With a guaranteed spot by the pane, you’ll enjoy unobstructed views of deep-blue crevasses, cascading icefalls, and lofty peaks throughout the flight, complemented by engaging, narrated commentary delivered through individual headsets.

Touching down on the Taku River, your floatplane glides you into a realm frozen in time—the exclusive Taku Glacier Lodge, built in 1923 and perched directly across from the Hole‑in‑the‑Wall Glacier. Here, you'll jexperience Juneau's only glacier‑view dining in Southeast Alaska.

Take in the alpine hush as the aroma of alderwood–smoked fresh wild Alaska salmon drifts through the lodge. Settling in for the feast of the day, you’ll savor salmon grilled over an open fire, alongside homemade baked beans, coleslaw, pioneer fruit compote, herb biscuits, sourdough bread, and ginger cookies—all served with glacier ice–chilled drinks.

While you dine, lodge staff bring the place to life with tales of Alaska’s colorful past—from Mary Joyce’s legendary 1,000‑mile dogsled journey to the pioneering bush pilots who carved the route to this remote hideaway. Keep a watchful eye—the alluring scent may even draw curious black bears to the edge of the lawn, adding a thrill of wild Alaska to your experience.

Choose your own pace: After the feast, wander forested trails on a guided nature walk, relax with a hot drink by the stone hearth, or simply sway on a porch bench, soaking in the glacier views and Tongass silence.

When it's time to return, your floatplane whisks you back along the icefield for a spectacular final flyby of the five glaciers—an enduring reminder of Alaska’s grandeur—before descending gently to Juneau’s downtown waterfront.
