Excellent tour covering Girdwood, multiple glaciers, Prince William Sound. Landed on a glacier and took photos and videos. Excellent at it's best. Would recommend their services highly. Martin was a superb pilot pointing out informative and interesting points along the route. The staff of Alpine Air Alaska are all effective and knowledgeable. Very enjoyable journey.

I take helicopter tours almost everywhere I travel or when I have the opportunity. My tour with Alpine Air tops the best!! The 1.5 hour tour was fantastic from beginning to end. All is so well organized from arrival at the office check in to my exit after the tour. The office staff explained everything well & were attentive. Directions for clients were made very clear. The office area, Alpine Air's building & surroundings, as well as the helicopter are well maintained. Martin, the pilot, made us clients feel very much at ease. He is extremely knowledgeable about the area, the glaciers, how they move, how they are formed, etc. His comments were interesting & kept us informed of what we were seeing. The glacier landing was comfortable. Martin assisted us out of & back into the helicopter. He gave us the opportunity & assisted us in taking photos. In addition, the scenery is extreme & majestic!!! I highly recommend that if you are coming to Alaska--winter or summer-, that you put at the top of your priority list a flight with Alpine Air. It will be worth every penny!!! Thank you, Martin & the staff of Alpine Air for the great Prince William Tour yesterday, February 27, 2020.
