Experience of a lifetime

I went up yesterday with Alaska Air for the helicopter ride and glacier landing. We ended landing ext to, then walking up in to a glacier tunnel all to ourselves with clear blue ice visible for feet into the glacier. Absolutely stunning. Perfect weather, perfect pilot and perfect experience.

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.

A Stunning and Unforgettable Glacier Flight

This helicopter glacier tour was an absolutely unforgettable experience. Seeing the vast ice fields, deep crevasses, and bright blue ice from above was breathtaking and far more impressive than anything you can witness from the ground. The flight was smooth and felt very safe, and our pilot shared interesting facts about the area throughout the journey. It was the perfect mix of adventure, stunning scenery, and unique perspective. I highly recommend this experience to everyone!

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!

Kenai Fjords National Park Glacier & Wildlife Tour from Seward

AnaGarcia, Sep 2025

So glad we took this boat tour.

What a fantastic experience. Everyone on the boat crew was very responsive to our needs and questions. We saw so much wildlife, including bald eagles, sea otters, birds, seals, and most of all a black bear on the shore near one of the. Glaciers. Also, the lunch they served was quite good. A chicken burrito with chips and salsa. Tasty. And then towards the end of the cruise, they served everyone warm chocolate chip cookies. It was fantastic. They also have drinks, sodas, juices, coffee, if you’d want to buy something. Would definitely recommend this if you are in Seward.

Truly Memorable Experience

The helicopter 🚁 glacier tour was a truly memorable experience; I’m talking like, lifetime memory that I will look back on fondly for decades to come. We had to be a little patient because of weather, but hey, this is Alaska, but we ultimately were able to do the tour and it was very much appreciated that they didn’t just fly us around in fog-they really wanted us to have the best possible experience. Which we did. :)

100% Worth Every Penny!

Absolutely hands down one of the best experiences we have had during our trip to Alaska! Every single person we encountered on this trip was friendly and helpful. The helicopter trip was fun (our first) and riding with Calvin on his sled and listening to the knowledge he’s gained working with the dogs and actually running the Iditarod last March was unforgettable! 100% recommend this tour!! Well worth the money! Thank you for the memories!

Absolutely Gorgeous and Amazing.

Just add and hour or more to get the dock 2 the meeting area for the Taquan Air shuttle. It can take a while to get off your ship and get bussed into town in Ketchikan, then Taquan Air is awesome they will shuttle you back to your specific ship. The flight is AMAZING!!, It's something you should do!! Some words of advice when the pilot asks for a volunteer, volunteer you'll get to be the copilot, I was in the copilot seat!!!

AMAZING views and a highlight of our trip!

THIS WAS AMAZING! I am amazed by how incredible this excursion was! Steve took us up in a float plane, and the views were just BEYOND! We landed in the middle of the fjords and were able to hop out of the plane and take pictures in paradise. I highly recommend anyone booking this experience!

Susie_W, Aug 2025

Best day ever

This experience was incredible! John, our helicopter pilot took us up to the glacier while showing us the sights from the air. The weather was drizzly and cold-perfect for meeting Matt, the Musher, who introduced us to all the amazing dogs, and then took us for a true dog sled ride. Afterwards we met 7 pups who will be trained for the Iditarod. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience all the way around

Flying on the plane...

Flying on the plane overlooking Denali/Mount McKinley was incredible. We were so close to the mountains. Landing on the Glacier was awesome. I would highly recommend this excursion. Our pictures do not do it justice. You have to see it for yourself. My only negative comment is that the pilot should have been more personable.

Fabulous!

This was one of the most memorable experiences during our trip. Getting flown to the top of a glacier, meeting the crew and dogs, touring their summer camp and getting to mush with the pups was exciting and exhilarating. It was a bucket list adventure that lived up to the hype. If you are contemplating this adventure…I 100% recommend it. You wont be disappointed.
