Great experience!!! We have done more heli tours before and this one was truly magical. Especially the last landing, right on the glacier, blue water springs everywhere. Top! Michael B was a great pilot, very friendly and cool way of flying!

We had Jessy Tennant as our pilot & guide.
He was phenomenal!! Awesome piloting skills! We are seasoned riders. Very educated on the whole experience. Pointed out so much to see. Made us feel like we had all day to be up with him. Glad to have and now know someone chasing a dream career.
Thanks for the great adventure is a lifetime??

Best part of my Alaska trip was this tour! We decided to go with the 2 hour three stops. Landing at Knick glacier was amazing, we got to walk on the glacier and drink water from a pool! Haley did an amazing job showing us and even helping us with recording and taking photos for our memories.

Alaska helicopter tours is a must do . Our experience with Jessy as our pilot was the best. He made sure we got the most out of the scenery and we saw lots of wildlife. Thanks Jessy!

My 81 year old mother, my wife and I, signed up for the helo, dog sled and glacier walk. Our pilot, Michael Brooks, was an excellent pilot, tour guide and assisted my mom down to the glacier's edge! He was very polite and courteous and we really enjoyed the trip! Thank you again! May 8, 2024

SUCH A BEAUTIFUL PLACE AND AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!! I can’t imagine coming to Alaska and not going on a tour with Alaska Helicopter Tours. Our pilot was very talented and knowledgeable, and all the staff very friendly! Our ground crew guides were fantastic at entertaining us while we waited to board and were quick to help us with any questions we had throughout the process. Their smiling faces were there to greet us when we returned and I just can’t wait to go on another adventure with Alaska Helicopter Tours!
