The expense is worth every penny and then some - Wow- what an amazing experience. The staff were so professional and knowledgeable. The transportation from Anchorage was entertaining. But the views if the glaciers were out-of-this-world!

High level n my list of all time experiences - WOW!!
Hard to put into words how amazing the scenery and the experience of helicoptering to the glacier was. The deep blue ice and ice formations blew me away. Our pilot Nick was the coolest. We took the morning one hour flight and this was the perfect capstone to our Alaska vacation. Alpine Air Alaska runs a high class operation. 5+ stars!

Surreal. - Words seldom can describe this experience alone; photos themselves still won’t even do it justice. This is an incredibly fortunate opportunity if you chose to do this. You will witness some of the most stunning and beautiful views of your life, in completely untamed land. Unless you’ve done a helicopter tour like this, it will truly be unlike anything you’ve ever done.
We had an amazing experience, handled by incredible professionals from the team loading us in to our astounding pilot. This experience is worth its weight in gold, no doubt. I’d book it again in a heartbeat.

Wow! No words to describe you have to see yourself. - Let’s start with an amazing pilot. Nick was very best at what he does. He made this incredible trip happen. Our 9th wedding anniversary celebration. Unlike anything we have ever experienced. If you haven’t done this trip, do it you will be glad you did.

Amazing experience with a great company - I got a birthday present to do a helicopter flight with Alpine Air and man am I glad we did! Our pilot Mytty was awesome and very friendly while also being safety first. He was a great pilot and knew a lot about the area. Landing on the glaciers was also amazing and totally a life changing experience. The helicopter was comfortable and clean. You seriously need to just do a flight with them!

Great experience - Nick, our pilot, was great. Very personable and knowledgeable. He made sure that he maneuvered the helicopter so that both my wife and I had excellent views of whatever we were looking at. The staff at the facility was very accommodating. Would strongly recommend as being worth the money
