Helicopter ride over Alaska Glacier

Wonderful Experience

This was a wonderful experience. Everything was well planned and very professional. The hotel pick up and drop off was extremely helpful considering the snow. Jonathan was amazing and kept us entertained the whole way through. The helicopter pilots were very friendly and knowledgeable. We landed right on top of the Knik glacier during sunset and can’t wait to check this out again in the summer.

Overwhelmed by the Beauty

What an unbelievable experience. We booked the two hour glacier tour for our anniversary and I have to say it was worth every penny. Our pilot was extremely friendly, educational, and skilled.

I was so overwhelmed by the beauty of the glacier and the amazing views that I found myself simply sitting down and taking it in.

We were even able to land on and explore a glacier, and we filled our bottles with delicious glacier water! I can't recommend this experience enough.

Great Experience and Memories

Would highly recommend this tour company! The helicopters look like new, the helicopter tour to the glacier had amazing views, and we had a great experience dog sledding. We did it all with our 3 kids (7 years old and younger) and it was all family friendly. Will, our musher, was awesome. So nice, informative, and friendly. Our pilot, Michael Brooks, was also super nice and informative. The dogs were adorable. Thanks for the great experience and memories!

I recently had the extraordinary pleasure of taking a helicopter tour with Alaska Helicopter Tours and it was an unforgettable experience that exceeded all my expectations. From the moment we arrived, the staff’s professionalism and enthusiasm set the tone for an incredible adventure.

One of the highlights of the tour was the dog sledding. The experience was nothing short of magical. I think I found a new career!

In summary, the helicopter tour with Alaska Helicopter Tours was an extraordinary experience that I will cherish forever. The combination of stunning scenery, expert piloting, and exceptional service made it a standout adventure. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a unique and awe-inspiring experience.

You Must Take This Tour

You must take this tour... the videos shown and pictures don't give this majestic place any justice!! The staff is super friendly and I personally want to give a big shout out to the shuttle driver, she even stopped and took some pictures of us before we even got to the takeoff point of the glacier, very friendly and informative. The pilot was just awesome. He helped us take pictures. Told us all about the glaciers. The mountains even went around to go see some moose and goats on the way over there, we just were in AWE THE WHOLE TIME THERE. Definitely came back to Texas a different person!
