    It was amazing, worth the money and time. Our pilot Collins was very helpful and gave us plenty of time to wander around and take pictures. I would highly recommend it!

    This was the most amazing thing to see. It was easy to book the experience, staff was wonderful. Our Pilot was phenomenal - and took so many pictures. We chose the 1 landing option. He asked us what we were most interested in seeing and we told him the blue pools and he found a perfect spot to sit down in the midst of some pools and explained a lot about what we were seeing and the depth of the frozen pools that we were looking at You couldn’t have asked for more on the ride back he was able to point out many different wild animals there was the Dahl sheep, black, bear, and moose and a swan!

  • Epically awesome!!

    Had a great time. First helicopter ride and first time atop a glacier. Recommend other visitors dress warmly; it's a glacier.
