Diane_D, Jun 2026

Otherworldly

If you can afford this breathtaking opportunity, seize it. Everyone on the staff — shuttle driver, desk agent, pilot, musher, and sled dogs — was genuinely friendly, helpful and professional. And the incomprehensible beauty atop the glacier —the senses scarce could take it in.

Alaskan helo tour and glacier landing

The entire team was great. Special call out to our pilot Kyle, note only was he a great pilot, but an awesome tour guide who went above and beyond to show us wildlife, give us insight and snap some photos of us. I was against this tour due to the price but my wife insisted and she was 1000% right. Once in a life time experience with a top notch professional crew!

Couldn't do the dogs for weather but ended up with an even better day

Even though the dogsleg trip had to be cancelled for weather, they suggested a glacier tour that I think turned out to be even better than the dogs would have been. Aaron landed the helicopter right between two small glacier puddles and gave us a beautiful view of the ice. This is something everyone should do at least one. More if possible. He was a great pilot giving us interesting commentary along the way and showing us sights we could not have dreamed of. Highly recommend any tour they offer. They are very safety conscious and provde a great adventure.

Denali

The plane ride was exceptional! We really enjoyed ourselves and saw breathtaking scenery. Our pilot was very nice and knowledgeable about the mountain range and surrounding area. Would absolutely do it again. Only thing I would warn people about is the size of the plane, they are really very tight and someone with bad knees or claustrophobia might not be very comfortable.

Amazing! We rode with the owner of the company and he shared lots with us. The scenery is absolutely gorgeous and they never take the same route twice. They also provide headphones that Bluetooth the pilots music and turns down when he wants to tell you something. You can also touch it to talk to the pilot. The pictures do not do this justice

I was able to switch trips on short notice due to the weather so got out on a nice day. Very easy to work with. Andrew was the pilot and did a fantastic job of narration as well as pointing out wildlife. Spectacular views and very helpfull assisting passengers in and out of the plane. This was a first float plane experience and i highly recommend it.

Overall great. Staff was great. Ride felt a little long but was necessary to see all that we did. Anything shorter would’ve missed out on things. Things not advertised: salad with no chicken is an option for allergy needs and kids can receive chicken nuggets if you ask. No drink included with meal. Burrito had a good flavor and can’t complain. Be sure to be on time for boarding. Boat left immediately on time. Wear layers for inside vs outside.

Amber_A, May 2026

Tour Cancelled

Full disclosure: our tour was cancelled due to bad weather so I’m basing my review on that. Obviously, these guys don’t control the weather, so we certainly don’t blame them, but we were definitely bummed to have missed out on what looked like such a fun experience. We’ve learned quickly that the weather in Alaska is a bit chaotic and each region basically makes up its own rules with Mother Nature. The operators were up front and communicated the cancellation early enough that we were able to find a different tour. The refund was initiated as soon as we were alerted of the cancellation due to weather. If I’m ever in Juneau in the future, I’ll definitely give it another shot!

Unforgettable adventure

The staff was incredibly friendly, and the scenery was absolutely stunning. There were just two of us along with the pilot, which made the experience feel very personal. The day was crystal clear, allowing us to see the mountains stretching far into the distance. The pilot even guided us on a walk across the glacier, making it an unforgettable adventure.

ur helicopter tour over the Knik Glaciers was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Brian was a wonderful guide and an exceptional helicopter pilot who made safety his top priority while ensuring we had an unforgettable ride. He was very knowledgeable and shared fascinating information about the glaciers and Lake George, which made the experience even more meaningful. We felt completely at ease the entire time, and the views were absolutely breathtaking. A huge thank you to Brian for being such a skilled pilot and an amazing guide. This experience is highly recommended and something we will never forget.

Ask for pilot Christine

It was an incredibly easy from start to finish. If you drive there yourself the roads seem like you are going to nowhere.. it’s private land not commercial so keep that in mind. The hostess was pleasant, informative & very concerned for safety. (Btw the release of reliability contract was written pretty funny). We boarded the helicopter, my short legs at 5’5” had a little trouble getting in the back seat, & began our journey. The pilot Christine was absolutely FABULOUS my wife & I were extremely happy with her friendliness, professionalism & just all around a great person to be with for this journey. I decided to at the last minute to do the ice plunge (be sure to tell them before you leave if you have a faint idea you may do it, they need to pack towels) that was awesome! Exhilarating & stimulating (I may go buy a cold plunge tub soon!).. take a water bottle to drink some glacier water! the flight back thru the canyon was just awesome. The scenery, the view, the experience was just awesome.. (& seriously don’t forget to tip pilot at least something)

120% recommend for Alaska

Best experience ever! I highly recommend booking this trip if your budget allows—and book as early as possible, since that gives you flexibility to reschedule if the weather doesn’t permit flying. I’ve been to Alaska three times, taken three glacier trips, and this was by far the best. Alaska is at its most breathtaking when you’re in the sky. You really feel how small you are when surrounded by such splendid nature. The entire experience is great—they had very kind people to accompany you every step of the way. Tom was with us, making sure the suit fit well, until he handed us to the pilot. The flight was super smooth too. Trevor showed us beautiful scenery during the flight, and I didn’t feel motion sickness at all. Our guides, Maty and Galen, were the best I’ve ever had. Not only did they take us to incredible spots and share their knowledge about the glacier, but they were also having fun. They were excited about the glacier and about us having fun, just as we were. You’re encouraged to explore the glacier safely, almost like becoming a child again—bringing your courage and curiosity with you. See nature, feel nature, and live in nature. It was my friend’s first time on a glacier. She also didn’t know how to swim, and yet she felt perfectly safe, even as we explored different routes both with and without water. We got tons of photos taken and laughters throughout the trip. I would love to book again if I'm coming to Alaska again!
