My husband and I walked into to Coastal Helicopters without a reservation. They were quick to accommodate us. Our pilot Luke was knowledgeable and gave us an amazing tour. Landing on the ice field was incredible. I highly recommend!

I didn’t book online as I was not sure about the weather in May....once we docked in Juneau we just went up to the kiosks selling excursions & booked the helicopter ride directly. The Coatal guys picked us up from the Main Street corner & drove us to the airfield. First we were outfitted with boots, then a mandatory safety video, locking our valuables in a box all done very efficiently we were then taken out to the airfield to wait our turn. There were 6 of us on the plane & I was lucky enough to score a front seat next to the window with my husband in the seat behind me & this was our first time on a helicopter. Needless to say but truly amazing ! We touched down on the Herbert glacier & spent some time walking on it, clicking pictures & marvelling at the stunning vistas all around....the flight was thrilling in itself, flying by the Mendelhall glacier,the snow covered mountains & the mighty ocean this was a dream come true. The Coastal guys were professionals& the experience a lot of fun !

Thanks for the excellent review! Waiting to book until your ship arrives is a great way to seek out some better pricing options than you'll see in the days leading up to your port call. Sometimes we're all booked out, but, as in your case, some days we have space! I'm happy to hear you enjoyed your first helicopter experience so much, and that you got such nice pictures! Thank you for taking the time to share your comments with the community! Derrick Grimes Tour Manager

This was the highlight of our trip. A must see. Our guide was funny and informative. Was helpful with taking pictures. We spent about 15 minutes on the glacier walking around and drinking from the water. I would recommend taking a bottle and filling it up with glacier water. How many people can say they've had water from a glacier.
