It appears that this in not currently feasible for such a tour. First off Mount Redoubt is very remote with limited access and few amenities near. There is the notable <a href="//www.alaskatours.com/wildlife/bear_viewing/redoubt_bay_lodge.htm" rel="nofollow"> Redoubt Bay Lodge</a>, but I was informed that you cannot even see the volcano directly from the main lodge. The second drawback to tours is that the US government has imposed a 10 mile no-fly zone around Redoubt. This eliminates the possibility of any flightseeing trips via plane or helicopter. I was living in Portland a few years ago when <a href="//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_St._Helens" rel="nofollow">Mount St. Helens</A> became visibly active. Local tourism saw a jump in activity from the national headlines and even today things like <a href="//www.mt-st-helens.com/Helicoptertour.html" rel="nofollow">Helicopter Tours</A> are still popular with volcano enthusiasts. The distinct difference between these two mountains and their travel viability is accessibility. You can actually drive to the <a href="//www.fs.fed.us/gpnf/04mshnvm/attractions/johnston-ridge.shtml" rel="nofollow"> Johnston Ridge Observatory</a> in about 90 minutes from Portland and behold a wonderful view of St. Helens. I had hoped that my client could also tap into any current interest, but alas that idea blew-up in my face! For now anyway. Cheers, James Hello again Elis,
