The views are absolutely amazing! So glad we did this trip. It’s expensive, but views and experiences from air at slower pace and up close is so worth it. Would do it again. Staff is super great to work with. Only negative is using portable potty outside. Very small draw back, but only improvement I can see to be critical.

Thanks! We agree, our bathroom situation isn’t ideal. Unfortunately, because of the current dynamics of our airport it is out of our control.

Seward is amazing town and this helicopter tour is epic! If you have some extra cash to burn on vacation this is best investment for memories of lifetime.

We were originally booked for the glacier landing with dog sled. So we were disappointed when we were told that it was too windy to land safely on the glacier. They offered to try a different day or do a flight seeing tour instead. We opted for the flight seeing, and boy were we surprised! We saw so much Alaskan beauty that we would have never seen doing the dog sled. The office staff were on edge after having a day full of cancellations and angry customers, but the tour wiped all our frustrations away! Our pilot was informative and gave us an experience we will never forget!💙💚

Thank you! There is nothing worse than having to cancel tours on people because of uncooperative weather. We are so glad you had such a go with the flow attitude and were able to experience some of the incredible beauty surrounding Seward.
