A must-do when in Alaska! - As a solo traveler, Alpine Air was great to get me on their standby list until they could work me in with a couple or other solo travelers. The views from the helicopter were spectacular, and the glacier landing was everything and more than I expected. In all, we got to see 5 glaciers as well as the Prince William Sound (including landing on 1 of them)

UNBELIEVABLE EXPERIENCE!!! - Our group of 5 were in Alaska for a business trip and we managed to fit in some time to experience Alaska. The tour we booked with Alpine Air was absolutely SPECTACULAR!! Not only were the views and experience amazing but the office staff and pilots were wonderful! We landed on a glacier and were able to get out and do some exploring which was incredible! The path to Prince William Sound was cut off due to weather but that didn't stop the fun. The pilots landed on the top of a mountain where we were able to get out and walk around. The view was like nothing I've ever seen! The pilots were great about spotting/pointing out the different wildlife on the mountain. We saw black bears (with 2 cubs), moose, bald eagles, and mountain goats. You can't go wrong with this company!

Wow - just WOW! - We booked glacier tours with three different companies. All offered unique perspectives, but Alpine Air was by far the most bang for your buck. The views were incredible and I can’t wait to come back and do it again. Highly recommend. Don’t even think about it. Do it!

Views great, pilot wasn’t - Views were great but Helicopter pilot wasn’t - we think he brought up his girlfriend as the 4th seat and was busy attending to her instead of paying attention to us paying passengers. Very expensive and they tried to market us the extended tour multiple times.
