Please also note that lap children are NOT allowed, and each passenger must purchase a full fare ticket.

    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!
