Jessy did a great job. So much fun. Extremely amazing. Stunning views. Saw some sheep. Had a walk on the actual glacier and filled my water bottle.

Our helicopter tour of the glaciers was spectacular! Adam was our pilot and landed the helicopter in 3 completely different areas, one up on a ridge overlooking the glaciers, one on the shore of a lake near huge icebergs, and one on the glacier. All had amazing scenery! He flew through a canyon on the way back to the lodge which was thrilling! We totally enjoyed our experience.

Went to an amazing tour with shad. Incredible job getting pictures of my family, talking to us about the nature of the glaciers, and also also pick some pretty amazing landing spots. Felt very safe the whole time. My boys really enjoyed themselves. We’re asking to go again immediately upon getting off the helicopter. Certainly once in a lifetime experience.
