A great adventure

Van picked us up on time next to visitor center. At the plane we were given safety instructions. The pilot, Sean, was wonderful. Very experienced, skilled, and knowledgable about the entire area. He explained everything we saw in this amazing area. After landing, he took photos of each of us with the plane. We would recommend this advrnture.

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.

ur helicopter tour over...

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.

Best helicopter tour ever

Absolutely breath taking experience! Complete 10/10 ! Our pilot was so fun & knowledgeable. He was very informative while telling us some of the history of the glaciers & mountains. He incorporated a lot of thrill into the flight while also maintaining a 100% safe environment! He was so willing to help take really good photos of my girlfriend & I. This was truly the best activity you can experience while visiting Alaska!

Transcendent Experience in an Ice World

We had the most amazing time with Outbound. We called Outbound for a pick up in Anchorage and they kindly offered us round-trip transport. Our trip was at noon and it was sunny and the Knik glacier was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen, way more than the Matnuska from my experience. Everybody should try this helicopter tour. We were surrounded by snow-capped mountains, the glaciers and glacier lakes. Transcendent experience. Thank you Carly, Christine and all the crew members!

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!

Kenai Fjords National Park Glacier & Wildlife Tour from Seward

Susan_M, Sep 2025

Wonderful trip even with the rain and rough seas

We were warned ahead of time that there would be rough water and bad weather. We could have canceled for a full refund, I'm so glad we decided to go. We were able to see eagles, otters, two types of seals and everyone's favorite a huge pod of resident Orcas, on our way into the glacier and again on our way out. Emma was our captain, she was amazing. She kept us going, we were able to do the full trip which she decided as we went. The swells were big, we did a lot of rocking and rolling. Several people did get sick. It poured off and on so that made it hard to get good photos.

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!

Helicopter Glacier & Dog Sledding Adventure Tour

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

Denali Experience Flightseeing Tour from Talkeetna

annettegoldwasser, Aug 2025

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.

denise_s, Aug 2025

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.

Super fun experience

This was a great experience from start to finish. Our van driver was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Everyone at the heliport was fantastic, our pilot did a phenomenal job. Everyone at the dog camp was wonderful and of course the dogs were amazing! Definitely a worthwhile experience!
