Excellent tour. I would definitely recommend. I was very concerned as we had bad wether and I thought it might group flights, but after a call to the tour company I was assured they were flying. It rained and then sprinkled until we got close to the glacier and then cleared a bit. we were able to get great views of the glaciers before landing, so we got plenty of great pictures. Everyone was very professional, polite and knowledgeable. Walking on the glacier is a blast and was a highlight of our trip to Alaska. Tip: bring a water bottle to the glacier so you can fill it with glacier water.
Wow! A trip to Alaska isn't complete without this tour. Everyone associated with this tour company was very friendly, professional and knowledgeable. I was a bit nervous as we had bad weather that I thought might ground the flight. One call to the tour operator in the morning and I was assured they were running. First we were bussed we were on a cruise and booked the Shore Excursion option to the airfield where we were outfitted in special boots with small spikes and told to leave everything except camera in locked lockers. Next we boarded the helicopter where despite the rain at the airport, cleared up once we got close to the glacier. We flew around the various glaciers and got great pictures before landing and having time on the ice. It was amazing! We were able to drink fresh glacier water and wished we had thought to bring our water bottles to fill them up. After about 30 minutes of walking and exploring if was time to head back. I can't wait to go back and take this same tour again!
The tour Company has this down to a science. We were given a briefing, outfitted with footwear , arranged in small groups and assisted into the Helicopter. The ride was smooth and the views great. We landed on a glacier and was given interesting background information by our pilot as we walked on the ice. The pilot was very professional, friendly and informative. Good experience, recommend it.
