One of the best experiences ever!!!! The whole tour was magical! Wyatt was a great pilot who showed us moose, bears, and mountain goats!!! We paddle boarded, floated, hiked, and laughed!!! Tom and Kate took incredible care of us! They met our adventure requests with smiles and enthusiasm. Kate used my phone and captured all the fun! Tom had all the answers to our glacier questions. It was like hanging out with friends that invited you to their glacier. Kate even provided me with a glacial facial!! Hehee! It is a much do!!! Seriously!!! Go, you won’t regret it!
Alaska was a bucket list, and when deciding which activities were most important to us, we are SO HAPPY that we chose Glacier Paddleboarding with Alaska Helicopter Tours! Trust us when we say they will not disappoint!! From our first greeting and hot appetizers pre-flight & Bailey’s flight skills, to our amazing afternoon with Kate and Erin; everything was better than portrayed on social media, and more memorable than we could have imagined. We were safe, had fun, added more adventure trekking around Knik glacier, and it all was perfectly captured in photos and on video by Kate and Erin. They even surprised us with some fun underwater videos and generously shared extra snacks. You’ll definitely want to return…we plan to!!! Thank you Kate & Erin!!!!
This was the absolute best excursion I have ever done. If you’re thinking about booking it, do it, NOW! We flew in a helicopter out to a glacier. Our guides Tom and Corey kept us safe and informed. We jumped into the glacial pool then got on the stand up paddle boards. This was like nothing I have ever experienced. The water and ice are amazing! We hiked around the glacier and then went back to the boards. We hung out and had some snacks while waiting on the helicopter to pick us up. We could not have asked for better guides. Tom and Corey are so down to earth and personable. There wasn’t a question that they couldn’t answer. This excursion is worth every penny! I would absolutely recommend it and I would do it again in a heartbeat!
From start to finish Tom and Kate immerse you with their love for exploration. The trip begins with a warm welcome at a beautiful lodge a quick debriefing on what to expect, then it’s time to load the helicopter. Yes helicopters fly you out to a glacier land and leave you out to explore this pretty much untouched spot in time where Tom and Kate share their knowledge of glacial safety and guide you! On your very own glacier adventure. You truly do have this entire area to yourself. You get to paddle board, swim, float, and explore the ancient sheet of flowing ice. I would recommend this experience to anyone looking for an off the beaten path adventure with two of the most incredible people (Tom & Kate) who truly have an absolute love for Alaska and adventures. I can’t thank them enough for such an incredible experience. This is a must do and a great value for what the trip entails
Absolutely awesome! This is a rare thing to do. From our Pilot Shad to the ground crew Steven and Cameron it was a seamless exciting experience that one will never forget! Highly recommend for those with an adventurous heart.
