The Grand Knik Tour was amazing. Highly recommend it to anyone visiting. Our pilot Shane was wonderful and very knowledgeable. The melting pools and the spots they will take you to are surreal! We also spotted wild animals like moose, mountain goats, and marmot that our pilot pointed out! Incredible experience.

My wife and I were thrilled with the excursion we booked with Alaska Helicopter Tours. We chose the “Grand Knik Tour” which included a few landings. The views of the majestic mountains and glaciers were spectacular. Our pilot (Tyler) was amazing. We were particularly impressed with his confidence when landing on a ridge that allowed for the most picturesque 360-degree view of the beautiful landscape. The tour was thrilling but at no time did we feel as if safety was overlooked. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for an aerial view which I doubt cannot be experienced in any other way!

Excellent pilots, Steve & Ben, made our trip informational, safe, & thoroughly enjoyable! We’ve lived in AK 38 years. Being able to immerse & surround ourselves with alpine glacier beauty had us falling in love with AK yet again! Highly recommend this for Sourdoughs & tourists alike!
