We toured as much of Alaska as we could in 8 days. Everything from hiking in Denali to a private boat tour in Homer. The helicopter tour was the activity we enjoyed and talked about the most. My wife and I were celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary. Most of our tours involved hiking where we could only see so much (with hours of walking involved). While we very much enjoyed that, the helicopter tour allowed us to see so much in a relatively short amount of time. Tanner was our pilot and he was fantastic. Everything from pointing out wildlife, providing flexibility in our route, answering our many questions, to playing AC/DC over the headset. He even took the attached picture for us. Coming over the mountaintop to the views of a bay beyond were simply incredible and unforgettable. On a side note, my wife generally does not like flying. Even a big commercial flight gets her a little queasy. I will say I was nervous booking a helicopter tour knowing that she gets "sea-sick" quite easily. I/we could not have been more surprised at how easy and smooth the flight was for her. You are so close to the action but do not have the uneasy feeling. My wife likened the sensation to driving in a car. So if you are nervous about not feeling well, take it from us that was not an issue at all.

Tanner took us on an incredible flight where we were able to see Bear glacier up close. We saw mountain goats and several black bear on the mountain sides. He circled back for areas we wanted to view again or up closer. Highly recommend this tour to everyone!

The views are absolutely amazing! So glad we did this trip. It’s expensive, but views and experiences from air at slower pace and up close is so worth it. Would do it again. Staff is super great to work with. Only negative is using portable potty outside. Very small draw back, but only improvement I can see to be critical.

We were originally booked for the glacier landing with dog sled. So we were disappointed when we were told that it was too windy to land safely on the glacier. They offered to try a different day or do a flight seeing tour instead. We opted for the flight seeing, and boy were we surprised! We saw so much Alaskan beauty that we would have never seen doing the dog sled. The office staff were on edge after having a day full of cancellations and angry customers, but the tour wiped all our frustrations away! Our pilot was informative and gave us an experience we will never forget!💙💚

We decided, sort of at the last minute, to book a helicopter tour while we were in Seward. So glad we did. The staff answering the phones (maybe Elise?) was extremely helpful and patient while we tried to figure out if we wanted to do the Dog Sled tour or the Scenic Flight over Aialik Glacier. I don’t think we could’ve made a bad decision either way, but we went with the 45 minute scenic flight. Since there were four of us (me, my wife, and our two boys - 16 and 14), we had to split up. Our pilots did a great job showing us all the sights and keeping us safe. We had done the Kenai Fjords Tour cruise out to Aialik the day before, so it was awesome to see it from the air as well. Highly recommended if you are in the area. I’ve heard the Dog Sled experience is great as well. Maybe do both if you have the time!

This was an absolutely AMAZING experience! I've been on dozens of boat tours out of Seward so to see the landscape from the air was absolutely spectacular! The boats can only get so close to the glaciers and you really don't realize how far away you really are until the helicopter flies you right next to and over them! I Highly Recommend taking a heli tour at least once in your life!

Absolutely fabulous. Cody our pilot was exceptionally knowledgeable and made the trip truly rewarding. Mountainous terrain was certainly expected but bear, bald eagle sightings while great were no comparison to the ice field/ glacier flyover. Incredible

Seeing the glacier up close and getting our photo made with a glacier in the background. The pilot was very confident and found a bear for us to see.
