We had an amazing experience! The views were breathtaking and better than I imagined! Our guide did a great job at explaining what we were seeing.

Awesome experience! The views are breathtaking and the ability to land and get out off the helicopter and walk around really made it special. Landing on the glacier was the highlight. Michael Brooks was a great pilot.

Awesome trip! It is cheaper to get it via Viator with the promo code. It was my first time on a helicopter and first time stepping on a glacier. 7 of us were split into 3groups/ helicopters. Our ride was initially cancelled due to the weather and they booked us on the next day morning. They didn't charge us extra for the transportation. I will highly recommend to book their transportation (directly with the company) too, so you won't need to pay extra. Pilot Hailey did a great job 💯 bringing us to have a closer look at some of the glaciers. One of the helicopters couldn't start at first and they sent another helicopter. Sigh. But thank God that all of us are safe and enjoyed our rides. Hehehhehee.
