We had an absolutely amazing experience from start to finish, thanks to Kris (our driver) and Jess (our helicopter pilot).
Helicopter with Jess
The 90 minute helicopter ride included two unforgettable landings, one on a glacier and one on a ridge. Flying into the mountains and seeing the deep blue glaciers up close was breathtaking. Jess was the perfect pilot. She flew so smoothly, explained what we were seeing, answered our questions, and also gave us time to simply enjoy the silence and scenery. She even helped us spot a black bear, a moose, and a mountain goat. One of my favorite memories was filling my bottle with fresh glacier water, something I will never forget.
Drive with Kris
Our driver Kris was a true gentleman. He shared stories from a native Alaskan perspective, including bear encounters and local history, and even recited a poem connected to a local school. On the way back from Girdwood he stopped so we could take photos of the scenery, which was such a thoughtful touch. His company made the drive feel like an important part of the adventure.
Overall
The booking process was smooth, with half paid upfront and the rest after the ride. The safety briefing gave us full confidence, and we felt safe and well cared for the entire time. Being able to take photos and even drink glacier water made the trip extra special.
This was worth every penny, and we feel so lucky to have had Jess and Kris guiding us. If you are considering this experience, book it. It is one of those adventures you will remember for the rest of your life.

It was a wonderful experience. The tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. Well worth the time and money. Was able to see the glacier up close, which was a very good experience. Also seen a few Moose.
Great time.

This was one of the most absolutely amazing experience. I gave my husband this alaska trip for his retirement, and after all of the excursions, we did in a week in alaska, this was the best overall. We have the most amazing pilot who landed us on a beautiful glacier and got to experience drinking glacier water. This will truly be a memorable adventure that we will never forget.
