helicopter tours that land on the ice field, that are supposed to be amazing out of Juneau
I'd suggest taking a helicopter up to Herbert glacier and doing the dog-sledding loop. Pretty amazing little adventure IMO. (You can do the same on Mendenhall glacier, and I don't know how they compare.)

The Kenai Peninsula is amazing!!! My first trip to AK in 2019 was a week on the Kenai and a week in Denali. I’m pretty jealous of your daughter for spending a summer out there!

If you’re looking for things to do, my highlights of the week were hiking to the Harding Ice Field outside of Seward in the Kenai National Park…absolutely mind blowing. Kayak day-trip near Bear Glacier outside of Seward…otherworldly! And a bear viewing trip to Lake Clark NP with Alaska Ultimate Safaris out of Homer…a bit pricey, but if you’re looking for a splurge, it was a once-in-a-lifetime type of experience.
