Absolutely Amazing Helicopter Tour - My husband and I scheduled helicopter tour with landing at 2 glaciers. Day of tour it was raining terrible weather I was so grateful for the them to work with us and our vacation days and changed our date for a better experience. It was absolutely incredible! A big thank you to our Pilot Micah! Also to all the ladies who answered and helped us for the tour. The glaciers landing were just super amazing!

Worth every dime! - This was a last minute purchase for the day before we left Alaska and it made the whole trip worth it. This flight was absolutely incredible! Olivia was our pilot and she was amazing! We can’t rave about her enough! She was so much fun and an excellent photographer! I’m so glad we did the 90 minute tour and not the 60 minute as well. We will be talking about this trip for years and will recommend anyone that comes up here to book this!

Best part of our vacation! - This tour was the best part of our Alaska trip! The views were breathtaking and the landscape was stunning. Safety was clearly a top priority throughout the entire experience. Our pilot, Nick, ensured we always felt comfortable and secure. The helicopter was modern and well-maintained which added to our peace of mind it being our first time up in one. Everyone at Alpine Air was wonderful. Thanks to Nick for making it more than just a sightseeing tour, it was a memorable experience of a lifetime!

Best part of our Alaska trip - We had so much fun! This was our first helicopter 🚁 ride so we were a little nervous but we felt safe and comfortable and the views were seriously amazing! We got to see a bear 🐻 and a bunch of seals 🦭 and the glaciers were absolutely breathtaking!

A must-do when in Alaska! - As a solo traveler, Alpine Air was great to get me on their standby list until they could work me in with a couple or other solo travelers. The views from the helicopter were spectacular, and the glacier landing was everything and more than I expected. In all, we got to see 5 glaciers as well as the Prince William Sound (including landing on 1 of them)

Views great, pilot wasn’t - Views were great but Helicopter pilot wasn’t - we think he brought up his girlfriend as the 4th seat and was busy attending to her instead of paying attention to us paying passengers. Very expensive and they tried to market us the extended tour multiple times.
