Amazing views. Our pilot would chime in with fun facts and personal experiences. Take off and landing was very smooth. Sea planes are awesome. Views of the glaciers breath taking. I never flew in a sea plane before but I always wanted to its such a cool concept and I like planes. Please book this of you want the best views of glaciers, mountains, waterfalls, snowy mountains and more.

Fantastic tour. This should be required. Check your cruise line’s price versus the Viator price. Viator’s price was half of the cruise line price. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The pilot was knowledgeable and shared personal tidbits from his experience. This was the highlight of my trip and of a lifetime.

    High recommended! There’s no better way to view the majestic glaciers, the seaplane experience becomes a nice add on.

    The plane tour was...

    Casey_G, May 2026
    The plane tour was awesome! Brian was our pilot and he was full of information during the flight. We had some bumpy moments but he made sure we were all comfortable on the ride. 10/10 on this one and we would do this again.

    Best excursion in Alaska!

    Michael_K, May 2026
    Amazing experience, great pilots. Highly recommended! From start to finish, the operator was very helpful. They even pointed out the original time didnt fit in my cruises schedule so they rescheduled free of charge.

    Great views. Search planes are cool.

    BOOK IT. Dont even question it!

    100/10!!!! Will ONE MILLION PERCENT do this tour again. One of my friends is going to Alaska in 2 weeks and I made his whole party book. The flight was so much fun. We had seen the Glacier from a boa that morning, but, from the air is totally different!!!! Trevor (pilot) was amazing. BOOK IT. Also, leaves right beside the cruise ships so easy to get to. Gift shop is cute and reasonably priced as well.

    Great

    It is wonderful experience. Need more marks for "looking for " the location of "5 Glacier......" and Seaplane.

    Amazing once in a life...

    Victoria_G, May 2026
    Amazing once in a life time experience. I know it’s expensive but honestly so worth the price. At first I was a little worried because the meeting point was a bit chaotic. The workers seemed stress trying to make sure people were checked in and assigned to the right groups. Each plane was also fully packed, but even so each person still gets a great and complete view out the plane. The windows are so clean, so you get the perfect view and the perfect pictures. The ride was so smooth and you get to see so much in just 40 minutes. Our pilot was very friendly. An audio guide also played on the headphones, which gave some very interesting information. Overall, would definitely recommend.

    amazing views!

    It is the best way to see the amazing glaciers. We saw them from all aspects which gave you a very clear picture of exactly how amazing they are. Very smooth flight and excellent commentary.

    Great experience.Friendly Crew. Lovely views of Glaciers with added benefit of being walking distance from our ship.

    Amazing !

    Amazing doesn’t even describe this adventure pictures do not do it justice. Do it spend the money ! You won’t regret it !

    Breath taking

    Rochelle_G, Aug 2025
    I was very nervous for this, especially being afraid of heights. Once we started I was good. It was hands down the best experience in Alaska. The weather was amazing and we got the best views. Would definitely do it again.

    Great experience!

    Fabrizio_B, Aug 2025
    Panoramic flight over the glaciers around Juneau, a sight. The pilot explained gradually the areas over which we were flying, absolutely to do. Too bad it only lasts 40 minutes.
