Amazing bucket list experience! - We booked this helicopter tour at the end of a week long Alaska cruise, and this was, by far, the highlight of our whole vacation! There were 6 of us aged 22-80. The 2 pilots flew us over the terrain and right over the top of glaciers. We landed at the base of the glacier for 15 minutes and were able to get up close to nature. The pilots were knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. This was an experience of a lifetime and I would recommend this company and this tour without hesitation! Very professional and worth every penny!

Absolutely Loved It! - I can't say enough positive words about our experience. The views were just unbelievable, the pilot was - in my opinion - extremely skilled. He asked several times if our stomachs were up for a more exciting flight, to which we enthusiastically said YES, and boy did he deliver! Yes, a helicopter tour is not cheap, but if you can manage to make it happen, this is an experience you will not forget and for that, I consider it something of a bargain.

Amazing helicopter ride - This trip was the HIGHLIGHT of our trip to Alaska. My 20 somethings and teens were not convinced that they needed to go to Alaska, but this flight was their favorite experience. It was absolutely breathtaking - we saw the glaciers up close and flew along the coastline with eagles sitting on mountain peaks and seals below us. The water was an unbelieveable shade of blue. We saw the icebergs, the waterfalls, the glaciers calving. It was an experience that will stay with us for the rest of our lives and all of my kids listed it as their favorite experience of our trip (and there were so many wonderful things that we did). We did it right before we boarded our cruise ship - we were picked up and brought back to our hotel. It was super efficient.

The Glaciers from Above - Its was one of the most amazing experiences we've ever had on a vacation. The sun was shining, we saw bears and mountain goats. We were welcomed warmly and our pilot was the BEST! No other way to experience the Glaciers!

Bear Glacier Yurt Overnight - We had an amazing overnight stay at the Bear Glacier yurts for a birthday celebration. Seward Helicopter Tours did a great job with communication, customizing an extended flight seeing package on the way out and even arranged for a cake for the birthday girl. Our host was friendly and helpful and our pilots were so cheerful and fun.
