TEMSCO Helicopters runs helicopter and glacier tours from its Skagway base at 101 Terminal Way. Getting on board: TEMSCO's FAQ says the steps into the helicopter are about 18 inches high. On most tours guests get out of the helicopter onto the glacier, where the natural surface can be uneven and cracked. On the Pilot's Choice tour, guests may stay seated in the helicopter. Other policies from the FAQ: animals of any kind, including service animals, are not allowed on tours. TEMSCO has a weight policy; guests over 250 lbs (113 kg), or anyone concerned about seat space, should read it and contact TEMSCO. For questions about adaptations, TEMSCO asks guests to contact the base directly: (907) 983-2900 or skg_reservations@temscoair.com. AbleVu doesn't have sourced information about the check-in building, restrooms, parking or transport from the cruise dock. Note: AbleVu has no tour category yet, so this is listed as an attraction.

Additional features (not listed above)
Tour limit: TEMSCO says the steps into and out of the helicopter are about 18 inches high.
Tour limit: TEMSCO rates its tours moderate. Guests walk at least 120 yards in total, including about 30 yards each way from the base to the helicopter and from the helicopter to the glacier camp, over uneven, cracked glacier ice (the dog camp is snow-covered). Only the Pilot's Choice tour lets guests stay seated in the helicopter.
Tour limit: TEMSCO says service animals are not allowed on its tour helicopters, because every seat is next to an emergency exit. Bags, food and drinks are also not allowed on board.
Getting there: TEMSCO says its helicopter base is about a mile from the farthest cruise pier. A local shuttle stops at the end of each pier ($3 each way or $5 all day).
