Truly one of the highlights of our trip. The crew at the airport was very friendly and helpful in getting us outfitted for our flight. The pilot was very knowledgeable and helpful.. For some of us, it was our first helicopter ride - which was great. It was not just a quick up to the glacier and back. The pilot took us around the area, showing us the sights, before landing on the glacier. We had never seen a glacier that close up. Never realized that there was so much running water involved with a glacier. Surprisingly, the water/ice was a very intense blue color in places.. This was an experience that we will not soon forget.
Excellent trip! It was amazing to fly up and walk on Herbert Glacier.
Everything went just fine. The service was perfect from pick-up at the ship, preparation in the airport, flight to the glacier, stay in the glacier, flight back and return to ship.
I strongly recommend this experience to everyone, regardless of age.
