What an amazing... - What an amazing experience!
I can’t say enough great things about Alpine Air Alaska—from the smooth booking process and easy check-in to the unforgettable flight itself. Our pilot was not only knowledgeable and professional, but also doubled as our guide and photographer—he was incredible and made the trip even more fun!
The views were absolutely breathtaking, and the whole experience felt personal and perfectly paced. This is 100% a must-do if you’re visiting Alaska. Highly recommend!

Worth every single penny. A once in a lifetime experience! - I’ve traveled to over 30 countries and this is by far the coolest experience I’ve ever had. We were on the fence about doing a helicopter tour due to cost, but I am so incredibly glad we decided to book. The staff is friendly, mindful of safety, and informative. Our pilot Jackson was exceptional & great at spotting wildlife + answering all of our questions about glaciers, the area, etc. Our flight was full of laughs, fun facts, and a lot of “wow”s. I’ll be telling all of my friends and family that this is the #1 must do in Alaska.

The expense is worth every penny and then some - Wow- what an amazing experience. The staff were so professional and knowledgeable. The transportation from Anchorage was entertaining. But the views if the glaciers were out-of-this-world!

High level n my list of all time experiences - WOW!!
Hard to put into words how amazing the scenery and the experience of helicoptering to the glacier was. The deep blue ice and ice formations blew me away. Our pilot Nick was the coolest. We took the morning one hour flight and this was the perfect capstone to our Alaska vacation. Alpine Air Alaska runs a high class operation. 5+ stars!

Surreal. - Words seldom can describe this experience alone; photos themselves still won’t even do it justice. This is an incredibly fortunate opportunity if you chose to do this. You will witness some of the most stunning and beautiful views of your life, in completely untamed land. Unless you’ve done a helicopter tour like this, it will truly be unlike anything you’ve ever done.
We had an amazing experience, handled by incredible professionals from the team loading us in to our astounding pilot. This experience is worth its weight in gold, no doubt. I’d book it again in a heartbeat.

Wow! No words to describe you have to see yourself. - Let’s start with an amazing pilot. Nick was very best at what he does. He made this incredible trip happen. Our 9th wedding anniversary celebration. Unlike anything we have ever experienced. If you haven’t done this trip, do it you will be glad you did.

No experience to tell... - No experience to tell other than the fact that there is a weight limit on passengers. Set up time and even paid for trip to find out ten minutes later that myself was too heavy.
