We booked this thru Viator to save money from the trip the cruise ship offered. We originally booked the helicopter tour and dog sledding experience, however, due to such a warm summer they had to close their dog sled camp because all the snow melted! They notified us and gave us the option to cancel with a full refund or downgrade to the guided icefield walk. We are VERY glad we didn't cancel. I was worried they wouldn't fly because it was somewhat cloudy, but our pilot, Mike, kept us blow the clouds while still giving us an incredible tour! He was very knowledgable about the glacier and area. We felt very safe the entire time. Bring an empty water bottle to bring back some glacier water!! It was soooooo pure and cold! Yummy! I highly recommend this tour!

In late July, I booked a last-minute helicopter glacier walk with Coastal Helicopters. Blue skies, blue water, sunshine of the non-liquid variety -- I couldn't have picked a better time. At the Juneau Airport, bright yellow and black helicopters buzzed and hovered like worker bees. The staff was friendly, organizing a large group of guests quite efficiently. We locked up our belongings, donned boot covers for traction, watched a safety film and lined up 6x6 by weight. As we boarded our assigned chopper, the whir of the engine tickled the butterflies already flitting in my belly. Michael, pilot and guide for our our helicopter glacier walk, has the kind of smile that says he absolutely loves this job. After flying past mountains of green, he flew us up, over, and through the Juneau Icefield, further than usual given the crystal clear air. Through our headsets, he told us about the 1500 square mile icefield, home to over 40 large valley glaciers and 100 smaller ones. We touched down on Norris Glacier. Micheal noted that he feels this spot is is the prettiest of all possible landings. I have to believe him. It was spectacular!

Our pilot was wonderful! He flew us to the part of the glacier where we were able to sample the water and it was refreshing. Beautiful day very warm for July. I had hiking boots but I could have worn tennis shoes because they provide boots over your shoes. We saved about 90.00 each by booking thru Vitar rather than the ship.
