About TEMSCO Helicopters
TEMSCO Helicopters is one of Alaska's most established flightseeing operators, flying glacier tours out of Skagway from its base near the Skagway Airport. A pioneer of helicopter glacier tourism in Southeast Alaska, the company has decades of safe-flying experience across its Skagway, Juneau, and Denali operations.
From Skagway they run scenic glacier flightseeing over the Denver, Meade, and surrounding glaciers, with the flagship Glacier Discovery tour landing high on the ice for guests to walk on a living glacier. Their signature Glacier Sled Dog Experience pairs a helicopter flight with hands-on time at a summer dog-mushing camp, where visitors meet Alaskan huskies and ride a sled across the snow — a rare, only-in-Alaska combination of aviation and mushing.
TEMSCO's reputation rests on its professional pilots, strong safety culture, and unmatched access to terrain no road can reach. For travelers who want the single most dramatic view of the icefields above Skagway — and the chance to stand on a glacier or meet a sled-dog team — the company remains the benchmark operator in the region.
