Everyone and the tour were nice, but they did not follow their own Covid protocol sent by email upon reservation. No one used mask and/or asked to wear a mask inside the helicopter - including the pilot. The helicopter is good for 4 people + the pilot, flying with 6 passengers isn't good cause 2 people seat in the middle and can't see very well and it can be a little tight.

Thank you for taking the time to share your review. It is not our policy to have anyone fly in our helicopters unmasked, least of all our pilots. After your flight you shared this feedback with us verbally, and we took action to correct your pilot's mask protocol that very day. I want to reassure you that we addressed this oversight and reinforced our mask policy with our entire team. As you experienced during check-in, throughout the company we take our mask policy very seriously for the safety of our guests and pilots. I would like to add that we normally do not fly our large A-Star helicopter for tour groups for the same reason you mention here, however our usual Robinson aircraft were unavailable that day so we combined parties into the A-Star for the tour, which is a very rare occurrence on our part. Thank you for flying with us, and please contact me directly if you'd be willing to join us again for a discounted flight so you can experience our true standard of excellence. Yours in gratitude, Christina, Alpine Air Alaska [email protected] 907-783-2360

What an outstanding crew all around. From the ladies who handle the scheduling and the front desk to our pilot John. We had such a great flight. We were able to see bears, sheep and even a couple of moose. Then to be able to step out on the glacier. Wow!!! My wife had a bit of motion sickness and John went the extra mile to make sure she sat up front by the window on the return trip and attended to her needs. Again an outstanding once in a life time flight with a outstanding crew of people.

Probably in the top 5 coolest things we have EVER done! If you only do 1 "expensive" thing while in Alaska, this should be it.
