    🚁✨ My First Helicopter Ride in Alaska! ✨🚁 This was my first time ever flying in a helicopter, and I truly could not have asked for a better company to experience it with. From start to finish, it was AMAZING! Booking was super easy, and they were wonderful about answering all of my questions. When I arrived, I was greeted by so many friendly staff members. They were ready to help and make sure we were in the right places and ready to go on time. The entire experience was seamless. Our pilot, Vincent, was funny, helpful, and incredibly knowledgeable about the area. Two of the three of us had never flown in a helicopter before, and he made us feel comfortable and excited from the very beginning. Then came the part I will never forget. ❤️ We flew over breathtaking glaciers and even landed right on the ice so we could get out and explore our surroundings. The blue water filled little pockets between the ice, creating the most incredible natural ice sculptures I have ever seen. It felt like stepping into another world.

    We did the paddle boarding tour and it was absolutely incredible. The team on arrival (Tom and a new chick) were so welcoming. From the moment we took off, everything was magical. Our helicopter guide was friendly, chatty and Informative (he was dressed in American Attire for July 4th) The views were spectacular and our guides Micaiah and Sarah were exceptional. Micaiah was a wealth of knowledge and they both made us feel comfortable, safe and and happy. The whole tour is thought through thoroughly and you can tell the company takes pride in its safety, reputation and guest satisfaction. Thank for such an enjoyable and memorable morning.

    Best way to spend a day in Alaska! We did the hike & swim helicopter tour. It was so beautiful and so much fun! The guides and honesty all staff were amazing. Trudy provided our transportation to the building and it honestly felt like a tour due to how much information she shared with us, we even saw a moose on the ride over. Pierce got us all geared up and was very personable and easy to talk to, asked about where we were from and answered all of our silly questions. Liam was the great and very professional pilot who got us there safe and sound! Paige and Sarah were the ones who guided us throughout the glaciers and catered it to our experience. Everyone was so kind through out the whole trip and genuinely sounded like they wanted to make sure we had as good of an experience as possible. I'm thankful for every part of the team here and I recommend this to every one visiting, or even living in Alaska who wants to see some glaciers and do some cool shit!

    From the start ASHLEY was there to take care of us! She was early, kind and welcoming. She gave us great info along the way, found us a couple moose, and made sure we were set up for success. She stopped on the way back giving us views of the glacier that we couldn’t see on the way in. The check in team were organized and clear, everything moved smoothly and efficiently. MATTHIAS our pilot was smooth and safe, was very kind and took good care of us. DEKE at the dog camp was our guide, he was professional, experienced and made sure we can a fun time. It was incredibly scenic, the views of Knik glacier on the way to the dog camp were STUNNING. Meeting the dogs and the cutest puppies in the world just melted your heart. You’ll come out of this trip with a happier soul!

    We did the glacier dog sledding trip out of Seward, and it was one of the most unique experiences of our Alaska adventure. There are several places across Alaska that offer this, but we chose this one because of the smaller, more private setting—and it did not disappoint. There were only six of us in our group, and we were flown up in two helicopters, which made the experience feel even more personal and exclusive. The flight itself was incredible, and landing on the glacier was something we will never forget. Once at base camp, we had the opportunity to try mushing, spend time with the dogs, meet the puppies, and ask plenty of questions. The entire team at base camp, along with the pilots, were outstanding—friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do. It made the whole experience even more special for our family.
