Beware of getting a middle seat! You really can’t see much of anything during the ride when you have adults on either side of you. So check to make sure you won’t get stuck in the middle. The people that sat upfront or the sides did have a great time.

Julie, Thank you for your honest review. It's feedback like this that helps the future traveller's. Helicopter seating is very weight dependent for safety reasons, unless booking a private tour we can unfortunately not guarantee where you will be sitting in either our larger 6 passenger helicopter or our smaller 3 passenger helicopter. You are able to see out of the front as well as the sides when sitting in the middle seats, but not right on the window. Often you are moved to different positions on the flight back if you were in a middle seat IF the weight and balance allows. It looks like you actually were on a window seat for one leg of the trip after reviewing the internal go pro footage (with lots of smiles) We are sorry that you disliked the tour and did not enjoy the beauty of the glacier while you were out there but hope you enjoyed the rest of your Alaska Adventure!

The helicopter ride was wonderful. Will was a great guide. He explained many things about the land as we flew. He pointed out a couple moose and a bear we wouldn’t have caught. He explained many things about the glacier too and answered our questions. The formation of the glacier and the blue colors found in it are cool to see right up close.

I recently visited Anchorage for business. On a whim, I decided to check out Alaska Helicopter Tours and SO GLAD I DID! This was a magical experience and our guide, Shane, was so friendly and knowledgable. Thank you so much an adventure of a lifetime!
