Excursion was canceled an hour ahead of time due to weather. Super sad as this was the one thing I was looking most forward to. Please note, weather had absolutely everything to do with the cancellation. Waiting for my full refund.

Helicopter ride very smooth ride! Amazing to see the glacier from above. So exciting to be on the glacier in Alaska dog sledding! Dogs were beautiful and friendly! Mushers were fun to talk to about their life and work on the glacier in the dog camp! Worth every penny!!

Coastal Helicopters was amazing, truly a once in a lifetime experience! The helicopter ride itself flying over the glaciers was incredible and the dog sledding finished off the best excursion we have ever been on. Our musher Stuart was the best! Totally worth the cost! Highly recommend.

All the staff ES very friendly. We copped the tour which compared to DE la barco was cheaper and the quality of everything was very good. Excellent option and a DE tour on a trip to Alaska.
