Pilot knew a lot about the area and the process was pretty good. However, we paid $100 for shuttle in and out of Anchorage yet we had to wait nearly an hour to be taken back. There is nothing to do at their little camp so it was a really long hour. Should be better planning so groups aren't waiting so long for other groups to get back.

Thank you for your feed back on the transportation we provide for our guests to be able to come to our location. The Knik River Lodge is the departure location for this tour and has a restaurant and deck area overlooking the peaceful Knik River Valley, definitely nestled in the heart of Alaska away from the city life. The shuttle does accommodate people on tours of different lengths, with your feedback, we have changed the way it is seen when booked to alert people what time the shuttle will depart from the Knik River Lodge. Thank you again for the insight and we are glad you enjoyed the tour portion of your trip!

We've planned this just 2 days before our trip and it was an amazing experience for me, my wife and my 3 year old daughter. For context, our Alaska trip was 4 days long and we’ve done the RailRoad + 26 glacier cruise, Denali flyer with glacier landing and the knik glacier helicopter tour. The experience with Alpha Aviation @ Knik river lodge by far is the best one that stands out. Chris was our pilot, Bridget and Ruben helped us check in and each of them are amazing and made sure we have the best experience possible. The knik glacier itself (my opinion) was way better than the Denali Ruth glacier landing (which is good in a different way of course, with respect to the grandeur and the miles of open area you will be on). Kudos to Anchorage Helicopter Tours and this experience is the main thing we’ve been recommending our friends to-do on their Alaska trips.

Excuse my lack of words but I am still recovering from this awe inspiring experience. All I can say is, if you have the means to do it, do it. Kudos to our pilot, Josiah. He was absolutely amazing - very good with kids. Very knowledgeable about Alaska, history/facts on Knik glacier. I had two transport drivers, Tim and Tom. Both were wonderful. I enjoyed our conversations to and from Anchorage. Even the receptionist had top notch service (Beth? Jen?) ..ahh can't remember her name but she was so kind. It was super easy to book with Alaska Helicopter Tours/Alpha Aviation. I recommend them 100%!
