Wow just Wow!!! 👌 - The views were amazing from above!! I’ve lived in Alaska for 28 years and have seen a lot of what Alaska has to offer. Nothing quite compares to this ride! The crew is extremely nice, always checking to make sure you you are getting what you want out of the experience! We seen bears and sheep and some unbelievably beautiful lakes and glaciers. The experience was a 10 of 10 for the price! Five stars! Strongly recommend!! They offer so many other tours too… I will for sure be back!

Exciting 30 minute Flight - Fantastic experience!! Worth every penny! Renzo, our pilot, was very informative and pleasant. He took us flying through glacial ice like we were in a real video game. The highlight of our Alaska trip!!!

Amazing Tour - We really enjoyed our tour! Next time we'd like to do a longer tour. Being so close to the mountain tops and glacier were amazing. Seeing the water and city by air was incredible. There is no comparison to seeing the glacier from the air to seeing it from a boat or on foot. To get the birds eye view of the blue water filled crevices was just incredible.

What a great experience !! - We took the 30 minute flight to Hawk Glacier that day, unfortunately the dog sledding was not available. The flight to and from the glacier was simply awesome. The pilots were very professional. We had quite some time to spend at the glacier, looking around, and taking close up pictures etc.

One of the top 5 experiences I've ever had. - The helicopter and dog sledding tour on a glacier was one of the top 5 experiences of my life. The pilots were super professional, knowledgeable and friendly and the flight to the glacier was breath-taking. Dog sledding was a blast, and visiting with the sled dog puppies was heart-melting. I would do this tour again in a heartbeat.

Mixed feelings! - I should start with, these guys helped me out - at short notice. An anchorage based tour i was supposed to be doing was cancelled with little notice as not enough participants, as it was the tail end of the season. As a solo traveller, minimum attendees can be a curse. These guys were able to schedule something with a couple of days notice - and for that i'm super greatful. I paid a solo traveller supplement, and combined glacier landing with the bear 30 min to make the most of my time (& after seeing the Bear glacier pic on the website), losing several hours to the round trip from Anchorage to Seward. After paying the solo traveller supplement, i was somehwat surprised i wasnt a solo traveller and a local woman joined the tour, and the lady from the company joined too for a full helicopter. As a result of the full helicopter, and the route/angles taken i was really disappointed not to be able to photograph Bear from the POV of the water, as i had seen on the website. Had the pilot done a slightly different route, let both sides see the best view, or had one of the other seats been empty i may have gotten the shot i paid a lot of money and gave up a full day for. The rest of my pictures are fine, and the people were incredibly nice - and like i said, they helped me out last minute, but it was a little bittersweet.
