Very well organized. Excellent pilot who was super helpful in pointing out how to safely explore the glacier. Dress warmly, but don’t worry about boots as they provide boots for walking on the glacier that fit right over your shoes. Flight was smooth with beautiful views. Well worth the price for this once in a lifetime experience!

Amazing! Absolutely stunning views and humbling experience. The blue glacier color was not expected. Viator photos do not do this justice. Lucas was an amazing pilot.

My family did the Icefield Excursion with Coastal Helicopters on 8/16/2024. It was amazing beyond words!! If you are reading this review and considering booking with Coastal, just do it! I did extensive research before booking with Coastal Helicopters. I looked at several other companies and excursions before we booked with Coastal. I also researched Herbert Glacier and knew that it was the glacier I wanted us to experience! Coastal had great customer reviews, and I really felt confident booking with them. From start to finish, the whole experience was perfect! Every coastal employee we interacted with was friendly and helpful, and they all seemed to enjoy working for Coastal! You could tell by they way they acted and interacted with the customers. The helicopter experience was incredibly! It was a smooth, beautiful ride with incredible views! Our pilot was Nick. He was very friendly and informative during our flight and during the time on the glacier. He gave us great information and answered our questions. He also spent a good amount of time talking to my teenage son, who wants to fly helicopters as a career. This was the most amazing experience! We will remember this day forever! Thank you, Coastal Helicopters!!
