Coastal Helicopters operates out of Juneau, Alaska's capital city, and is a small and independent aviation company. If you are traveling with a large group, one method of saving money on a helicopter tour is to charter a helicopter and split the cost among your group. Organized tours have pre-set prices where a charter is done by the hour, and not by the number of people. Coastal Helicopters uses A-Star aircraft capable of handling up to five people. Contact Coastal for hourly rates and charters.

If you are coming into Juneau via cruise ship, instead of booking your helicopter tour through the ship's tour desk, call TEMSCO Helicopters and book directly. TEMSCO accommodates clients on a space available basis, and if there are empty seats for tours, bargains are possible. Be watchful of your cruise departure time. If your helicopter tour runs late, your cruise ship will not wait for you if you book directly with TEMCSO instead of through the ship's tour staff.
