We originally signed up for the Helicopter and Dogsled experience but the dogsled was cancelled because the snow was too slushy due to the warm weather. No matter. We had a great helicopter ride to the glacier and an amazing experience exploring the glacier. My kids loved the experience and will never forget their first helicopter ride and the opportunity to walk on a glacier!

During our Alaska trip we've seen a couple of mighty glaciers from afar but this time we would actually set foot on one: the mighty Herbert glacier. We checked in a Coastal Helicopters base, got a short safety briefing and then went to our helicopter piloted by Robbie. A couple of minutes later we were up in the air and enjoyed a birds eye view of Juneau. When we saw the glacier from a distance you were stunned by its sheer size but nothing could prepare us for the feeling we had when actually landing on it. The dimensions became bigger and bigger, almost too big to wrap your mind around it. What amazed us the most was the blue colour of the fresh glacier ice. A small stream of water was running on top of the glacier and we sampled a few sips - icy cold freshness in its purest form. On our walk on top of the glacier we were shown some deep crevasses you better stay clear of. How big they were you only realised when standing 10 Meters from it. Unbelievable! Robbie explained a lot about the glacier, gladly took pictures with the whole family and was extremely helpful the whole trip, a real pleasure to have him with us! I could have stayed there all day but after 30 minutes or so we had to head back to the Helicopter, posed for a group picture and then flew back to Coastal helicopter base. i'm really glad i took a lot of pictures because otherwise i might have thought it was all just a beautiful dream. What a great country and even better people that live there. Thank you from Germany for an outstanding day!

We were so excited to do this and the actual experience was even better than we imagined. The tour group is so organized and efficient and provide everything you need for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. You get all the gear you need and the helicopter tour to get to the glacier is amazing. But nothing tops walking on the glacier! You are provided with further safety gear and our guide, Casey, could not have had a better temperament to teach all of us how to walk up, over and down the aspects of the glacier on our 2-hour trek. We drank the water, learned even more about how glaciers are formed and move and remain in awe at the beauty of the glacier and mountains. Could not have been any better! Worth the investment!!!!
