They cancelled the Tour because of bad weather, but they asked us to arrive 45 minutes early, which we arrived and had us waiting until the time of booking and told us that it had been cancelled.It was very frustrating, I know it is for our safety, but if they should have done it sooner for us make another decision to choose another Tour and take advantage of that time

This was hands-down our favorite, most memorable experience of the trip. The glacier was surreal. The helicopter views were amazing. Definitely recommend, and heads up—bring a water bottle to fill it up with glacier water!

The helicopter to the glacier was our best tour in Alaska. Our pilot was great and the experience walking on a glacier and drinking glacier water was amazing. I would do this tour again and recommend it to everyone!

First class trip to the top of a Glacier in a helicopter. Enjoyed vista views of Alaska while flying to the glacier. The pilot gave a thorough and informative tour of the area as well as info on the glacier. After touching down, a tour guide met us and gave us a 25 minute walking tour of the glacier. Many great photo opportunities. Well worth the cost.
