My family and I loved this tour, even my teenage kids thought this was utterly fantastic. We landed on and near the glaciers near Anchorage. Our pilots were excellent and great tour guides, and kept us informed and safe the entire time. They were able to fly close enough to the glaciers to see unbelievable detail, and were able to help us spot moose, Dall sheep, and mountain goats too. I would heartily recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see these beautiful glaciers up close and have an amazing experience doing so!

The whole tour was amazing! Tyler was our pilot and his passion for his job and his admiration for the beautiful landscape made the whole thing even better. We had a clear blue sky and almost no wind, so the conditions to fly and land anywhere were perfect. The views from both the air and on ground were truly breathtaking! It was my first time in a helicopter, and I couldn't have imagined a better flight to start with. Thank you so much for this! And Tyler, if you ever read this: Always remember, Mulan is not Pocahontas! ;)

Though I grew up in Alaska, I wanted to come in with a fresh pair of eyes, as I was visiting with my wife who had never been to the state as a tourist. As it turned out, Alaska Helicopter Tours was a definitive experience. We were graced by the presence of our pilot, Brandon the Flyin' Hawaiian, who had only been with the company for a month at that point. He was a ton of fun, with being extremely gregarious, inquisitive and not afraid of engaging in some friendly jabs back and forth. We were blown away by the experience and wish to give two big thumbs up!
