Awesome trip, first helicopter ride. Shad was awesome. Gave us suggestions but also asked us what we wanted. Unfortunately we couldn’t get to the dog sled due to weather but did everything else. 7 of us went ranging from 12-73 years. Shad helped my 73 year old mother across the glacier. Cannot say enough good things about the trip!

Fantastic. Amazing. Very very professional. They cover all the bases. Highly recommended. Pilot was exceptional. From the time we arrived to the end of the trip nothing was lacking.

Our pilot was Shad Burnham and he was excellent! His landings were precise -even in 46 mph winds I felt safe and secure. It was cold so dress warmly! The glaciers were incredible to see close up. It is difficult to describe how amazing the deep crevasses are and the bright blue glacier pools are as you fly near them and stand near them! Shad was a font of knowledge about glaciers and the area. He asked us what we would like to see beyond the glaciers. He took us to see waterfalls and in the process we saw mountain goats and a moose and her calf. We splurged on this trip- So worth it!! The hour drive from Anchorage went by quickly. I would recommend a microphone system so all could hear the driver well. Also the windows of the van were not clear so it was not a great view looking for wildlife.
