Inspired by the iconic Mt. Marathon rising above Seward, our company has spent the last 11 years sharing Alaska’s wild beauty from the sky. Founded by Mike Culver—who still owns the company even though he no longer flies tours—Marathon Helicopters was built on a passion for adventure and a deep love for this rugged coastline.

​

Today, our team carries that spirit forward, taking guests over glaciers, waterfalls, mountain ridges, and wildlife you simply can’t experience from the ground. Every seat in our R44 helicopter is a window seat, giving you front‑row views of the Kenai Fjords and the untamed wilderness that makes Seward one of Alaska’s most unforgettable destinations.

​

Whether you’re here for a once‑in‑a‑lifetime adventure or returning to explore more of Alaska’s magic, we’re here to show you the Seward locals know and love—from the best vantage point in the state.
