I had an incredible experience with Alaska Helicopter Tour! From start to finish, the service was top-notch. Making the reservation was easy and seamless, and the staff at check-in were friendly, welcoming, and professional. The pilot was highly skilled and made the entire flight enjoyable. The highlight of the tour was landing on a glacier—absolutely breathtaking! The views were stunning, and it felt like a once-in-a-lifetime moment. It was worth every penny, and I would gladly do it again. Highly recommend this adventure to anyone visiting Alaska!

What an unbelievable experience. We booked the two hour glacier tour for our anniversary and I have to say it was worth every penny. Our pilot was extremely friendly, educational, and skilled. I was so overwhelmed by the beauty of the glacier and the amazing views that I found myself simply sitting down and taking it in. We were even able to land on and explore a glacier, and we filled our bottles with delicious glacier water! I can't recommend this experience enough.

Would highly recommend this tour company! The helicopters look like new, the helicopter tour to the glacier had amazing views, and we had a great experience dog sledding. We did it all with our 3 kids (7 years old and younger) and it was all family friendly. Will, our musher, was awesome. So nice, informative, and friendly. Our pilot, Michael Brooks, was also super nice and informative. The dogs were adorable. Thanks for the great experience and memories!

We had a great experience with Alaska Helicopter Tours. We did the one hour Knik Glacier tour. Shayla was really helpful and accommodating with last minute booking. Our pilot, Christian, was outstanding. He made everyone feel safe, found a perfect place to land, helped us with spikes and photographs, and even spotted a black bear on the way back! It’s worth every penny. Can’t recommend them enough!

We did the Grand Knik Tour and it was the highlight of our trip. Cameron was a fantastic pilot and guide. Being able to fly over and then land onto the incredible glacier and surrounding areas was a phenomenal experience. And the best part - we were the only ones out there! We paid extra for a private tour, and it was totally worth it. The landscape is awe-inspiring no matter what, but being able to really absorb the beauty all by ourselves was magical. 10/10, would absolutely love to do this again!
