Everything about the trip was exceptional. Our pilot Cameron was extremely knowledgeable about the entire area in the town and on the glacier. It was about 65° in town and surprisingly mild on top of the glacier, we only needed a light jacket. I would highly recommend this tour to everyone.

Amazing, bucket list, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Our family loved going up in a helicopter, flying over incredible Alaskan scenery, only to land on a glacier! We walked the Herbert Glacier, drank water from a glacial stream, and even spotted some mountain goats off in the distant hills.

They are very professional and give you time to enjoy. Our pilot walked with us and guided where we can and cannot go. He took some photos and videos for us where he he was comfortable to go to while we were not sure if we should go there. He was interactive throughout the helicopter ride and answered all the questions from my 8 years old granddaughter.
