This was a highlight of our Alaska trip. Seriously so incredible. Safety and fun, informative and such an incredible Time. My mom and I went for my graduation and her 65th birthday. We still talk about it!

This is a once in a life time experience. Amazing views, excellent service from ship to excursion to transfer back to town. Pilot was super sweet making sure we were safe and able to explore. Also other companies cancelled for weather. This one did not.

Absolutely incredible. Anyone uncomfortable with booking an excursion which isn’t direct from the cruise there is no need to worry. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, there is a vehicle that takes you straight to the helicopter and brings you back. The experience was mind blowing, I would highly recommend using this company!

This tour is more than just sightseeing; it's a journey into the heart of nature and a call to protect our planet. If you're looking to make unforgettable memories, this tour is a must. It's a story you'll tell for years to come, an experience unlike any other!

We reserved the excursion as a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 kids). Since they didn’t have enough space, they split our family into 2 groups (2 of us in one helicopter and the other 2 in another helicopter). Even after pledging that we don’t want the family excursion to be split, they gave us no choice; either split for the excursion or cancel it. I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone.
