Highlight of our trip!

Absolutely amazing experience!! We had a blast with Stephen who was our amazing pilot! The ride up there was breathtaking and the dog mushing/sledding ended with a highlight of playing with some puppies!! Wonderful experience with an additional option of landing on Kinik Glacier up close with the azure blue waters! Once in a lifetime experience and 100% recommend it to anyone visiting Alaska!!

Misty Fjords Flightseeing 1 hour

Vanessa_T, Jul 2026

Did he just land ON the lake??? WOW!

We loved our experience in Misty Fjords with the bush plane tour. Our pilot Steve was very knowledgeable. Lesley, the owner, was so communicative and helpful! Her crew picked us up and brought us to the sight. We lost our minds when Steve landed in the water in the middle of Big Goat Lake. We saw some incredible sights. Worth the money, and for someone who flies commercial even somewhat regularly, not scary. You’re under the clouds so it’s a different kind of air pressure. Plane holds 10 passengers.

Holly_C, Jul 2026

Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience for our family of 9! We felt safe and comfortable with our pilot and he was very knowledgeable. We were booked on a day that was filled with rain and clouds. K2 very graciously rebooked us for the next day, which turned out to be gorgeous and sunny! Glacier boots and sunglasses if needed were provided. Highly recommend!!!

Kenai Fjords National Park Glacier & Wildlife Tour from Seward

Kelci_L, Jul 2026

This excursion is a "Must Do"!

This was an amazing excursion - we saw so much wildlife and the Fjords were just as beautiful as the pictures. It seemed like a magical place, very unique. Riding up to the glacier was amazing - there was not a lot of calving (we could hear it more than see it), but it was still really cool. The staff was great - the included lunch was burritos & chips/salsa, which my family enjoyed. It was also cool to have drinks served with glacier ice on our way back from the glacier. This is a "must do" if you are traveling in this area.

Hidden gem

It’s well worth the money! Beautiful scenery. We lucked out on a beautiful day. Our guide was amazing. Only one flaw…no one mentions whether they Viator or the tour company, no uber or Lyft comes to pick up after tour. It’s easy to get there but we were stranded for 2 hour before we were able to get back to anchorage

Helicopter Glacier & Dog Sledding Adventure Tour

Xixi_C, Jun 2026

Worth it, funnest part of the trip

Both the helicopter ride and the dog sledding experience on top of the glacier were amazing and so much fun. I was surprised by how much snow was still on the glacier during the summer. The dogs were smart, friendly, and full of energy. The sled ride on the snow was very smooth. When we occasionally went over small bumps, it felt very gentle, almost like driving over a small bump in a car. I noticed that the dogs in the back would even look back to check that everything was okay, which was so cute and impressive. All of the staff were friendly, kind, and helpful. They clearly knew every dog and each person had specific responsibilities. The dogs seemed excited and happy to run on the snow. Overall, it was a wonderful and unforgettable experience.

Helicopter To a Dogsledding Experience

Christine_H, Jun 2026

Helicopter to Dogsledding Experience

We absolutely loved the Helicopter to Dog-Sledding experience. The reps at the airport were friendly and helpful as they sized us for our boots. We locked away our valuables and headed to the helicopter. The ride was smooth with the most beautiful scenery. Once we landed, we learned about the dog camp and headed to meet our musher, Brenna. She was so good with the dog team and the dogs listened and followed her instruction. The dog sled ride was about a 1 mile loop. It was so much fun. The dogs were friendly and lovable allowing us to pet them. This experience is a must do!

Grand Knik Helicopter Tour - 2 hours 3 landings - ANCHORAGE AREA

Jim_R, May 2026

Amazing and Unforgetable adventure

We flew up to and on top of the Glacier, got out, and walked around on the glavier. Aron was our pilot. He was an excellent pilot and a wealth of knowledge about the Knik glacier and glaciers in general as well as the entire surrounding area. We saw sheep on the flight as well If you are in the Anchorage area, do not miss this experience. It is simply amazing. And ask for Aron!!

Helicopter and Glacier Paddle Boarding -PRIVATE

Xinning_Z, Sep 2025

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!
