A Must Do - The Glacier Landing tour is a must do! Hutch, our pilot, was great as were the ladies inside who walked us through everything. Seeing the mountains, valleys, rivers and glaciers from the air up close was indescribable; so beautiful. You receive ice cleats to put on over your shoes so you don’t have to worry about walking on the ice. Hutch brought some little cups and we each had a drink of glacier water. So cool! We also got to see a moose and her calf and a few mountain goats. Spend the money and do this. You won’t regret it.

Do this!! - We were a little indecisive whether a flight seeing trip would be necessary (driving through Alaska was so beautiful in its own right) or worth the money. The answer is a resounding YES! If you’re able to, do it!! And do it with the pros at Alpine Air. The team is professional and friendly. And our helicopter pilot Jackson was amazing!! It was she first time in a one for several of us and he put us at ease. He flew so smoothly and calmly gave us the lay of the land - figuratively and literally as we flew beside mountains and landed on the glacier. The scope in size of the mountains and glaciers is an incredible experience. We are so so glad we did it.

Once in a lifetime experience, friendly and accommodating staff! - The trip was amazing!!! It was my first time in a helicopter, but the staff and the pilot made me feel so comfortable and welcome. They also were able to accommodate me as a single traveler, which I greatly appreciated. The flight gave incredible views of the glacier and the surrounding landscape, and getting to land on and explore the glacier was so, so cool. I learned a lot about glaciers and got some AMAZING pictures, and got to try some glacier water. I would absolutely recommend this experience to everyone!!!!

Remarkable Experience!!! - Do yourself a HUGE favor if you're traveling in Alaska. Book a helicopter flightseeing tour with Alpine Air Alaska. This has got to be one of the very best experiences of my life. And I'm 64, so I've been around. Incredible trip, and incredible staff, from the office personnel to the pilots. It is truly a breathtaking experience. You'll thank me later.

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.

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.
