Of all the things we did in Alaska, this one stood out at the top for every one of us, in our group of 7. We did two tours back-to-back: the Helicopter Glacier DogSledding, and the Grand Tour - glaciers, Kenai peninsula from the air. Everything about the tour was also just awesome. The incredibly safe, experienced, and engaged pilots pointed out glacial and geological features, bears, goats, even a brown bear's den. The ride was smooth, safe, and the scenery out of this world - it really left me speechless. The dogsledding was also a unique and exciting experience - very authentic, and the staff were welcoming and professional.

We had a fantastic time - and we REALLY appreciate the switch from 9am to just after lunch to take advantage of great weather conditions. This was an amazing view of the mountains, glaciers, and the bay. The flight was surprisingly smooth. Highly recommended!!!!!!

Hi Anne! We always aim to please. We think our 60 minute tour really earns its title of “the grand view.” We are happy to hear you had such an amazing time. Thank you for flying with us.

How can this have no other reviews?! It was more expensive than the other tours - but if you can do it, it's worth the extra. The extra flight time allowed us to see a few special spots and even circle around for wildlife that we would have missed without the extra time. Saw two black bears right outside bear glacier, so many waterfalls it rivals Hawaii, eagles and goats galore, and so many beautiful icebergs it felt like Iceland. Great company, great team and wonderful owners. The absolute highlight of the trip for me - riding the train down was a bonus.
