…never too late to check this adventure off your bucket list! This was a magical experience with a great crew of organization to an awesome pilot and guide - Keith! We were the last flight of the day and it exceeded my very high expectation. I’m hooked on helicopters now and returned to walking an Alaskan glacier after 29 years with my love of 47 years. My heart is full!

Not sure how to describe the experience. This was the one thing I wanted to go to Alaska and do. I booked months in advance, and was canceled <30 minutes before my scheduled departure. I can say the dude on the other side of the phone was professional. As I contemplate a thoughtful review, I resist the urge to give 1 star like other customers. But I can give them 4 stars based off what they can and can’t control. I can’t hold them responsible for the weather. I understand safety is a top priority and they have to make judgement calls. I only saw the weather in Juneau and have zero clue what the flight path and glacier conditions looked like. I guess I just have to trust their judgement on that. I can hold them responsible for a vague policy of what “favorable weather conditions” actually means. Based off what I saw, any type of fog, low lying clouds, wind, you are out of luck. It’s going to be canceled. It’s especially disheartening to see helicopters flew 1-2 hours after mine was canceled. The weather changed that dramatically in 1-2 hours, how do they make that determination? Makes you wondered if you were canceled for higher paying customers. If I would’ve known that the weather had to be pristine, I would’ve hedged my bet and booked other helicopter rides on days and ports they could’ve flown.

This is the only tour that goes to Herbert glacier. They were very organized and professional. It was one of a kind experience that I would highly recommend. The pilot was very hands on and knowledgeable about the area.
