Great Tour Even for the Tall Guys - Great tour; absolutely recommend. We caught great, warm, clear weather the day we went up. One of our travel party has limited mobility, and they put steps right from the dock to the plane door to make it easy. I am 6’8” tall and I fit on this plane with plenty of leg room in the back two seats of the plane. Would absolutely recommend.

Bucket List Seaplane Tour - Unbelievable experience with Wings Airways on their 5 Glacier seaplane tour. We left from the same area where the cruise ships docked which allowed us to explore the town of Juneau before our flight. The flight only lasted about 40 minutes and that is my only negative comment. I could have stayed up there for hours and never grown tired of the views. Just AMAZING!! Our pilot was excellent and the narration during the flight was just perfect. Bucket List item for sure.

Absolutely breathtaking - Our seaplane trip was amazing. Al was our pilot and very knowledgeable. This is a must do in Juneau. The scenery was breathtaking. I actually wanted to go back up again but time was not on our side. We saw them flying in and out all day long. I am so glad I was able to tick this off of my bucket list.

Totally Awe-Inspiring Views of Icefields - My boyfriend and I loved our flight with pilot Bruce over the icefields from Juneau. It was exciting to take off from the water. The views of the waters and colors were so pretty. We flew by a dramatic waterfall. Then .. the icefields. They looked like frozen rivers! It was so interesting to fly over them and see the paths they are creating ... with the colors from white to black and mountains peaking out. Bruce made the trip really fun. We had a smooth flight and he showed us the highlights. Totally worthwile and enjoyable!

Amazing Glacier Flightseeing! - I found this to be a highly professional company with some truly fun and friendly employees. The condition of its fleet was excellent. Safety seems a very high priority, as it should be. While I saw the other planes, I can only speak to our pilot, Bruce. He was highly skilled and had a great sense of humor, as well. Everyone has a window seat. The headphones worked perfectly and sound quality was great. Good mix of pre-recorded information plus pilot interaction. Both take-off and landing were perfect. I have back issues and always get a little worried when I do this type of activity. No worries here! And the scenery is nothing short of spectacular. It was an amazing, yet not physically taxing, adventure. I highly recommend this tour.

Awesome experience - One of the best tours we ever did, the weather in the morning was enough to cancel flying but the afternoon was beautiful to see the glaciers and bears and goats on the ridges. Just takes our breath away seeing this beautiful landscape and the commentary was informative and Shannon the pilot was polite and helpful getting us all seated. Great job Shannon !!! and thankyou for a memorable flight.

Despite the poor weather - well worth the trip - This was our first excursion from our cruise, and given the rain and low cloud were really fearing the worst, as we thought that the visibility from the plane would be awful, mainly because we could hardly see a thing from the ground - but are fears were in vain - the whole experience was very good and well worth the money.
