This was my wife and my second favorite part of our Alaska trip, with the first being out in nature in general (which can't be beat). We booked the 90 minute glacier landing. Clouds were a bit low on our day, but they accommodated and gave us a great alternate 60 min tour instead. The R44 heli was in great condition and the pilot was extremely skilled. It was a beautiful tour through the mountains and over the forest. We saw moose and bears, as well as many glaciers. Our pilot was knowledgeable about everything we saw and gave us great information about glaciers and wildlife. It was amazing landing on the glacier and getting to explore a bit. Highly recommended to anybody that visits Alaska.

What an awesome experience from the very start. Our pilot was Josiah and he killed it with the tour and all the info. There was plenty to see between the glaciers, snow covered mountains, and wildlife (bear and mountain goats). Really made our trip to Alaska something special.

My husband and I booked a 60 minute glacier landing tour on the last day that we would be in Girdwood. What an incredible helicopter tour. The scenery was beautiful and the Spencer Glacier Landing was absolutely spectacular with the blue water and the ice shelves! Our pilot Christian was awesome and made our flight fun! The staff are very friendly and professional. This was the highlight of our trip to Alaska! If you are ever in Alaska we highly recommend Alpine Air Alaska! Thank you Alpine Air for a lifetime of memories!
