The Knik Glacier helicopter experience included a knowledgeable, professional, and fun pilot. Cedric gave us exactly what we wanted by finding moose & bears, and answering our many questions about the geology of glaciers. We highly recommend it!
Alexis_N, Jul 2026
Absolutely incredible. The guide was so fun and kept us safe and the glacier was incredible! We did doors off which was even more epic. I’d highly recommend.

It was a wonderful helicopter ride. Pilot was very nice and informative! They also provide ATV rides there with 10% discount!

If you want to be treated like family vs just another tourist, this is the tour for you. Staff was friendly and the pilot/tour guide Wes did an amazing job, giving my husband and I a personal excursion. He asked what we wanted to do and see and then delivered. It was by far the most incredible thing we have done. Pictures just don't do it justice, thank you.

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

This was unreal. It’s almost impossible to even comprehend what was happening in the moment. If you’re hesitant, just send it and book the experience. A huge thank you to our crew Christine and Blake.

After checkin with Caroline, we were directed to the red helicopter piloted by Captain Laura. As soon as you take off the wonder does not stop. Our pilot kindly pointed out wildlife, interesting points to see and also offered to take pictures for us. She was amazingly kind and considerate.
As a plus size person, the team reassured me at every step. You are weighed privately to help the balance of the craft, they have appropriate seatbelts in the back and helped put on the clamp-ons. As I was nervous about my size, they reassured me at every opportunity. I would highly encourage others who worry, to use this company.

Super fun time - it was amazing to fly over the glacier - and then land and walk around. Very fun flight, we learned more about Alaska - and felt we had an experience we will remember for a lifetime!
chuck_b, Jun 2026
this is an exceptional experience you don't want to miss while visiting Alaska. Our pilot Laura was very knowledgeable, this is the highlight of our trip.
Rizvana_P, Jun 2026
It was a great experience landing on the glacier. Worth doing it!
Our pilot was amazing and had a lot of information to share with us.
Patrick_H, Jun 2026
It’s the best $1,000 you’ll ever spend!! Our pilot Cedric was very skilled at flying and informative about the area and glaciers ……. and he had a sense of humor.

Utpal_D, Jun 2026
Great experience. Breathtaking views and friendly crew. The helicopter ride was a thrill, but the glacier walk and melt pools were beyong the pictures can tell.
JoshuaPoole, Jun 2026
Outstanding, the best helicopter tour I have ever taken. They are friendly, informative, and make sure you are safe and enjoying the experience. I was staying downtown but used Uber to/from the starting point and it worked out well (just make sure to pre-schedule the return ride).
Michelle_B, May 2026
It was an awesome once in a lifetime adventure!! The weather was beautiful. Take an empty water bottle to taste the fresh glacier water.
Nikos_Y, May 2026
Nothing like being on a glacier and drinking pure water. The staff was amazing . Our pilot Logan went above and beyond. Don’t look at the price just go
Response from Host, Jun 2026
We whole heartedly agree that nothing beats being on the glacier surrounded by ancient ice and drinking the freshest water! Thank you for the kind words, we will make sure we pass them along to Logan. Safe travels and we hope to see you next time.
John_P, May 2026
We had a great time on our Helicopter tour and our pilot Logan was supper knowledgeable. Landing on the glacier is amazing. Walking around in the ice feels so surreal.

Hands down one of the best experiences I’ve had in Alaska. Easy to book, easy to find, and the entire team made me feel like I had known them for years. Well worth it!

Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you Alan! We appreciate you flying with us and leaving this kind review. We can't wait to fly you to the ice caves next!

Bridget and Chris (our pilot) were amazing!! This was our first time on an helicopter and they made us feel so calm. Extremely friendly and gave us so much information. We will be returning in the summer.. the experience itself was surreal.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you Octavia. It was such a pleasure meeting the three of you! What a wonderful tradition you have with your mom, so many wonderful memories being made! We look forward to seeing you again during the summer...perhaps you'll be exchanging vows on a paddleboard :)
frank_R, Oct 2025
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)
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Sounds like you had an absolute once in a lifetime experience! We love hearing such positive feedback and agree that Christine is an amazing pilot and truly loves what she does. The cold plunge is a must doin the summer!! We hope you enjoyed your Alaskan vacation, see you next time!
Howard_L, Oct 2025
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!
Response from Host, Oct 2025
It was awesome to have met you both! We truly think the Knik is one of the most beautiful things we have ever seen as well. It takes our breath away every trip. Our crew is also one of a kind and appreciates all of the incredible people that come through our doors to adventure with us. Thank You for coming out with us...safe travels and happy adventures!!
Ligia_H, May 2026
It is wonderful. The young men who assisted us were very kind. The helicopter pilot was a special young man.
