Our family traveled to Alaska for first time in June and our planning involved staying at Alaska Glacier lodge for 2 nights. Cant believe what a wonderful choice that we had made. We had booked 60 mins glacier tour here. Everything went smoothly from getting safety protocols, getting into the chopper and from getting out to wander on the glacier. Our pilot Shad was very knowledgeable in flying the chopper and landing it on the glacier. He looked out for his group all the time with respect to safety and had good knowledge on the glacier that we were visiting. Our family had wonderful experience going on first time in a chopper and landing on a glacier. We highly recommend this activity. Enjoy

This was an amazing experience! We loved the helicopter ride with our great pilot, Cody. Walking around exploring the glacier was unlike anything I’ve ever done. So beautiful and “other worldly”… fascinating and gorgeous. Highly recommend!
