The helicopter ride is breathtaking and landing on the glacier was amazing. Our ice climbing guide was wonderful, he always ensured our safety but that we also had fun. It was my first time ice climbing and he cheered me on as I climbed my way to the top. Highly recommend this for any active adventure seeker!

Amazing! Jonathan and Dillon were our guides, and they made sure that we got the most out of our experience. They also made it a lot of fun! We got to do a little bit of everything, and the unbelievable views from the helicopter ride was the cherry on top! I highly recommend this tour!

This was an incredible experience, and the tour operators were fantastic.
My family’s athleticism is a mixed bag: I’m an avid climber, while my mom and aunt had never even touched a climbing rope before. Everyone was a little concerned going in, but our guides — Cody, Sam, and Owen — were incredibly friendly, patient, and encouraging as they helped everyone get up the ice walls.
Nobody on the tour was disappointed.
Everyone in my family agreed it was our best excursion yet. If you’re even reading this review, you should absolutely book this trip. NorthStar gave us the perfect day trip in Juneau as well as plenty to talk about at the brewery when we got back to town.
Special shoutout to Eli, our pilot, who made the flight up to the glacier even more interesting with his knowledge and commentary.
