Cross Country activities in USA

  1. A

    Era Helicopters

    The hottest tour in Juneau is a helicopter ride to the Juneau Ice Field for a 20-minute ride in the basket of a dogsled. These tours last less than two hours and are around US$400 a pop but when the weather is nice people - primarily cruise-ship passengers - are waiting to hand over their money. On the Era Helicopters tour you spend an hour on Middle Branch Glacier as part of its glacier dogsled adventure (around US$410).

    For something more affordable, book its hourlong, four-glacier tour (around US$230) that includes a 20-minute glacier landing.
