Incredible helicopter tour to glacier landing to get married! - Coordinated officiate to fly up with us and Alpine Air Alaska did an incredible job. Nick Hall was the helicopter pilot as well as flourishing as a photographer and videographer! Took us up to Colony glacier to get married. Used my bride's phone to video everything and then we stopped at a very cool double waterfall on the way back for more pictures. Incredible and unforgettable day!

Breathtaking Way to See Alaska - This helicopter tour was the best experience I’ve had so far here in Alaska. I have always been a little apprehensive to fly in a helicopter, but I’m so glad I did and now I’m addicted. I want to go back up before I leave! My pilot was so lovely and very knowledgeable. Her name was Olivia. She was an expert pilot and at the same time had such a calming nature about her. She definitely made you feel safe and guided your attention to the beauty around you so you quickly forgot about any fears you may have had. I highly recommend this company, the helicopter tour, Olivia and Alaska! Cheers! - Nathan W.

Phenomenal! - The whole trip was amazing and my son enjoyed the once in a lifetime experience! The crew was the friendliest and we felt so welcomed. The pilot to the ground crew were very knowledgeable. We had a blast from landing in top of the mountain and hearing the glaciers move to the blue waters on a glacier. We had the best time of our lives! 👌🏻👍🏻

An Exhilarating Glacier Tour - We were so lucky to plan a tour with Alpine Air Alaska despite only finding them via a search on the internet! The tour booking was done online. Everything you need to know - the prerequisites, the itinerary, options, etc - all of these were clearly listed out on their website. It was very user friendly, and packed with all relevant details and information. We arranged for a round-trip pickup from our hotel. Aaron the driver, was punctual, very welcoming and friendly, and this set the tone for what was to be a really wonderful day. We were received very warmly by the Alpine Air Alaska team at their office. The formalities - briefing, dos and don’ts, weigh-in, etc - all of these were done very systemically and professionally. Jordan, our pilot was very friendly and knowledgeable. His easy-going manner really put us at ease as we set off on our helicopter ride. Jordan pointed out the landmarks, interesting features and sights during our trip. The ride was so comfortable & breathtaking. It was such an amazing trip! For those of you looking to book a tour similar to ours, look no further! Alpine Air Alaska is the company to go for. Very professionally run, with really warm, and friendly staff. From the moment we were picked up, till when we were dropped off back at our hotel, it was such a wonderful tour.
