I will never forget this tour - A fantastic experience. We waited for the weather to lift all week long so we could utilize the helicopter for a great experience the communication was great all week long and we made it we had a wonderful ride ride with Hutch. He gave us great service for tours longer than expected and we saw animals as well as landed twice versus once. The best company ever

Awesome! - We had a fantastic experience with Jessie as our pilot. Due to weather we could not fly the sound but were able to do 2 glacier landings instead. Amazing experience with beautiful scenery and in very capable hands. The glacier landings were great. Would do again in a heart beat.

Amazing Prince William Sound Tour - We booked at the beginning of our week in AK so we were able to change our flight day and time to accommodate the weather before we left to go back home. We flew out of Girdwood. We got lucky and Mytte, our pilot, was able to go through the pass and take us to Prince William Sound. The rain had stopped and the clouds lifted just in time for our 3:00 flight. The flight was smooth as glass. It was amazing!!! The scenery was fabulous. We saw a moose just lounging down below. The rivers and lakes were beautiful and milky blue. The lake below the glacier had big and tiny icebergs floating in it. The glacier landing was wild. Spencer glacier is 1100 feet thick Mytte told us. The melted snow was sitting in small blue pools on the glacier. There were tiny steams of melted snow runoff and even a tiny waterfall on the glacier. We saw so many rushing rivers and powerful waterfalls from the air. Do not hesitate to take this tour - you will not regret it :)

Favorite Memory from Alaska - Amazing experience!! We did a flight tour AND dog sledding. Our favorite after two weeks in Alaska! Staff was so friendly and made me feel very comfortable (I was really nervous) The flight was very smooth; our pilot Jess did an incredible job! Landing on a glacier and walking around was indescribable!! Dog sledding was my husband's bucket list item, and he was not disappointed!! Such an amazing three hours! Highly, highly recommend!!!

A great investment for any family - The trip with 6 of us in the family in 2 r44 helicopters was superb. The instructions were simple and clear, the pilots were very chatty and pointed out moose, mountain goats, sea otters and other wildlife at a respectful distance and also very knowledgeable about the glaciers and geography of the region. We had an incredible day with clear blue skies and calm conditions.
Thank you all very much. Highly recommend to anyone visiting the area.

Amazing! - This was the greatest experience we had in our recent visit to Alaska. The pilot, Jackson, was experienced and made us completely comfortable. The sites were beautiful beyond description. The office staff was welcoming and ready to answer any questions.
