What an amazing experience! Our pilot Brian was awesome with my elderly mother. Helping her in and out of the helicopter. He was our personal guide and was patient to hover over animals so we could take pictures. They pride themselves on safety! I really appreciate everything and the training we were provided to keep us safe. I highly recommend this company and you won't be disappointed. read more

From the very beginning, this excursion was fantastic. Ashley was our shuttle driver and she was very helpful letting us know about the flight and filling us in on the history of things not only in Anchorage but other cities in Alaska. The staff was friendly and our pilot Kory made the flight even better with his knowledge and how much he wanted to make sure we had a great experience. Some areas are not great for a landing but he would give us a great tour and explain what we were looking at with all of the land. We made 3 different stops and each one got better. Our final stop was on a true ice glacier and you get the chance to see some very cool landscapes and walk around and explore. I would recommend taking a water bottle and drinking some of the glacier water and I would highly recommend doing the 3 landings as opposed to the one landing trip. It's well worth the extra money and makes the whole thing so much better. Without a doubt, one of the best excursions I've ever done. read more

Who doesn't want to try mushing at an Iditarod camp?! So fun. Trudy was on time and so friendly, sharing stories and her charger for the drive to the lodge. Greeted by a couple moose and checked in, fitted with boots and off the meet Conner our fab helicopter pilot. The team of dogs and our Mush captain, Seth the pirate (it was "Halloween") at the camp were fun, knowledgeable and ready to mush. Perfect! We all got to try it out for those that wanted to. Capped it off with the hike on Knik glacier to create a very memorable experience. read more

Perfect tour nice management they take care of customers thank you Randon Thank you read more

If I could leave more stars, I would. Truly an incredible experience from the hospitality at check in to take off and touch down. If you're in Alaska don't miss this opportunity! We did the helicopter tour with glacier landing and had the helicopter all to ourselves. Our pilot was awesome; making it feel like we were seeing this marvel with a friend and not a tour company. The views from the air and the glaciers are unexplainable and truly breathtaking. Don't skip this one while you're here! read more

Want a helicopter tour of glaciers in Alaska? This IS the place. Located outside Palmer (which has a cute but small downtown) this place has cabins and offers some very cool possibly once-in-a-lifetime experiences like heli-hiking and heli-skiing complete with overnight accommodations and a private chef! We did the mild-mannered glacier helicopter ride stopping in Knik glacier. Seeing a glacier from above is WAY different from just seeing it from a ship or on a lower level field of ice. Military and day of discounts. Awesome! read more

I've had a lot of experiences in my 55 years, and this was probably one of the most amazing things I've ever done. Wyatt was an excellent pilot. We saw so much beauty and learned a lot. Alaska Helicopters also accommodated our 26yr old overweight, special needs son seamlessly, give him an experience of a lifetime. Just awesome. Thanks so much! read more

This helicopter ride to Godwin glacier for dog sledding adventure was one of the highlights of our trip! Alaska Helicopter Tours were sure to make everything safe and fun! The pilots, Trevor and Brian, were incredible! The dog camp team on the glacier were super personable and fun, answered all of our questions, let each person have a turn driving the self, and gave us plenty of time to play with the pups! Worth every penny and would highly recommend! read more

One of best excursions I've taken! The sled dogs were amazing and I loved hanging with the dogs afterwards. That plus flying over the mountains and walking around a glacier provided two of the best examples of what makes Alaska a real treasure. The crew was great and the experience was perfect! read more

Amazing thanks kyle! Took us to see unbelievable views would highly recommend the two hour one

Sam is an incredible pilot that made me and my boyfriend feel very safe landing and taking off in remote locations. He was conversational, friendly and was mindful of what we wanted to see when taking us to the next location. (We did the two hour three location option) Knick glacier, a mountaintop, and another glacier with a landing nearby due to mounting snow. If you want an experience you'll never forget definitely book this! read more

Did a tour in mid-August at about 6:30pm. This was a fantastic tour and i could not recommend it more! the view was absolutely incredible and the pilot/tour guide was amazing as well. This is definitely worth the price if you have the money. I can't wait to go back and do another tour in the early winter or early spring months to get a different weather and view experience. highly recommend! read more

Booked this flight online. Got picked up by sprinter style van at the Hilton in Downtown Anchorage and brought out to the resort. The van driver was great guy, excellent personality. we had a very enjoyable ride to and from the resort. Our helicopter pilot was fantastic. Took us out along each side of the glacier and then landed us in the middle by some of the big crystal blue pools. We'll worth the time and price. read more

Amazing experience - Cameron did a stellar job piloting and was super informative and engaging. He went out of his way to point out animals (which we loved) and we had a great time at all three landing spots. I would not listen to any of the (few) negative reviews on here - it sounds like they were hoping for a theme park not a glacier tour. This company is extremely easy to work with and the price is very fair for the incredible experience you are given. Do it. read more

Our pilot Turner did such a good job. The other pilot Conner was good too. We landed together and it was super, they explained everything and pointed out the Bears and Moose and Swans along the way. I highly recommend Alaska Helicopter Tours and please ask for Turner He's the best and Conner too. read more

We had an amazing experience! Connor and Turner were very knowledgeable about the glaciers and where to spot wildlife. We were able to identify a black bear, moose and 2 swans. My friends rode with Turner and I was in another helicopter with a different couple with Connor. They didn't rush us at all. Very accommodating and took some photos for us too! read more

Took the one hour helicopter flight to Knik Glacier. It was a wonderful experience. The landscape starts to get yellow leaves at the lower level, and full of green forest when we get higher; we would cross valleys to see mountain goats and wet land with moose; finally we would reach the endless glacier field, where you would only able to access with heli. The pilot was super skilled and she was able to getting super close to the ice field as well as passing narrow valleys. With the full window panel, the sightviewing is truly a feast. Initially we were considering two hours or four hours trips, but due to the limit time schedule we ended up with one hour. It turned out to be perfect! Tasting the flight on glacier and making one stop to explore around is just right amount of adventure for us. It would totally be worth your money for the trip! If you ever would like to do a Heli tour, do it in Alaska glaciers. read more

We absolutely Enjoyed our helicopter tour with Connor . The Glacier was fabulous and definitely an unforgettable beautiful memory.

I'm extremely disappointed with the service and the guide, especially during the tour. We drove for many hours to get there, but what we experienced was unacceptable! My husband, our friends, and I were not happy at all, from the beginning to the end. I didn't feel welcomed, and there was no warm greeting from the guide. The guide lacked initiative and wasn't talkative enough to provide us with sufficient information about the tour. They didn't offer any help concerning our safety during the glacier landing until we asked. Only then did the guide give a brief explanation. My husband had to ask for spike shoes, and only after that did the guide provide them, but not for everyone. The guide didn't check if the rest of us needed them. Throughout the tour, both guides were busy chatting with each other and showed no concern for us whenever we landed. When we asked for help to take a photo, one of the guides was arrogant, showing an unwilling attitude and saying, "I can just take one photo." Ironically, they took a group photo of us without our permission! We spent a lot of money expecting a great experience, but it was terrible! The landing spots didn't even have good views. I have no reason to recommend this tour at all--very bad service and poor guiding." read more

Alaska Helicopter Tours - BAD experience - Tours Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

This was our second helicopter tour in Alaska, and compared to the first tour with a different company, this one was by far the worst experience--from beginning to end. First, they told us we needed to pay a $150 surcharge because one of our five friends weighed 268 lbs, which is over the 250 lb limit. When I booked online through Viator and confirmed over the phone, I was told the surcharge would be around $20, not $150. What upset me even more was the reason for the charge. They claimed it was because they couldn't sell another ticket due to the total weight limit of 600 lbs per helicopter. However, here's the issue: the booking rules state that you can't book the tour as a single person--you need at least two people. We were a group of five and booked two helicopters for the same time slot, so they wouldn't have been able to sell any additional tickets anyway. They also mentioned that the total weight for each helicopter couldn't exceed 600 lbs for three passengers. However, our group's weights were 101, 110, 117, 149, and 268 lbs. Even with two helicopters, none of the combinations would have exceeded the 600 lb limit. It seemed like they were just trying to take advantage of us for extra money. Charging $150 just because one of us was 16 lbs over the limit is not a fair resolution. After this experience, I checked with the previous helicopter tour company we used and another company we booked for the next day. Both have a 290 lb per person limit, and as long as the total weight for three passengers doesn't exceed 600 lbs, there's no surcharge. That's the fair rule they should be following. And this was just the beginning. After the flight, the guide hardly interacted with us or provided any explanations--it felt more like a taxi ride than a tour. The landing site, which was the most important part for us, was also a huge disappointment. It was nothing like what we had experienced on other helicopter tours, hikes, or boat tours, where the guides were engaging and informative. We were also supposed to have better helicopters, but they told us they didn't have pilots to fly them, even though we paid for the top-tier experience. One extra tip: always ask the guide how long each landing will last so you get the maximum time you've paid for. On our 2-hour tour, everything felt rushed, and they didn't even explain the itinerary properly. Please do your research before booking this tour. There are much better options in Alaska with more reasonable prices and a better overall experience. I will definitely never book with this company again, nor will I recommend them. For $3,600 plus a $150 surcharge, this was the worst experience we had in Alaska. We drive 4 hours round trip hoping for the best experience and turn out the worst experience. The only positive point of this tour was the smooth piloting of the helicopter itself.. read more

Great people run this tour. Professional, responsive and communicative. Once in a lifetime experience. We did the helicopter glacier landing and dogsledding. Amazing - check out their pilot safety ratings and the handlers/mushers are incredibly passionate about their dog camp. We had Ben squared for the day. Pilot Ben and Musher Ben.

Awesome ride to dog sledding experience. Highly recommend going up on the glacier to dog sled.

Everything was PHENOMENAL, from the people to the helicopters and especially the scenery. First class operation

That was a once-in-a-lifetime experience! My husband and I took the Grand Knik tour for our honeymoon. We essentially got a private two-hour adventure with Hayden. He took us all over! We flew over the mountainsides looking for bears (which we found!), landed on a glacier and drank out of the pools of clean water and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly throughout. Couldn't recommend more strongly. We also enjoyed staying at the cabins right where the tour leaves from. Beautiful location. read more

Our pilot Dylan found an amazing glacier to land on. It was so beautiful and peaceful up there. Would highly recommend this company

Outstanding company! Booked a week before my scheduled Glacier visit and dog sledding tour after another one was canceled due to rain and fog. This company is totally professional and very responsive via email when trying to get questions answered while on a cruise ship. They responded quickly and I called the next day while in port to book it. After booking, I received a series of emails confirming and asking me to fill out paperwork and a waiver, which I did immediately. Got a series of reminder emails a few days before and also the day before. Upon arrival and check in everyone was so helpful and genuine. The process was run well and like clockwork. The tour before ours ran late and caused us to leave late but that didn't have any bearing on our getting the full time promised when we booked our individual tours. It was smooth and couldn't have been better. The tour itself was also amazing. The helicopter pilot was super friendly and extremely helpful when leading us to the glacier on the helicopter. He pointed things out and took epic pictures of us on our dog sledding tour. The dog sledding tour itself was better than I could have imagined and one of the highlights of my overall trip. Again this company totally knows what they are doing, they are people friendly and super customer focused. I highly recommend this company and the tour overall.. Yes, it is pricey to go dog sledding but if you've ever dreamed of doing so, this is the time and place to do so. Not to mention the drive out to the Knik River Lodge is beautiful and breathtaking. Highly recommend!! read more

Excellent and knowledgeable pilot, friendly staff! Highly recommend Alaska Helicopter Tours.

I am a born and raised Alaskan, have seen most parts of Alaska, but this was the most epic experience. Everything from the safe and beautiful helicopter ride, to hiking with Kate for four hours, was the most spectacular experience. I can't recommended enough as a local or a visitor. Customer service was also spectacular. From booking to unbuckling the helicopter harness, everyone was super professional, helpful and friendly. Our hiking guide Kate took about 300 pictures of my daughter and me as we hiked all around the mountains beyond Knik glacier. Above and beyond in every way! read more

The wife saw that we could go on a glacier but we both didn't really know what to expect when we signed up for this helicopter tour. You go to the takeoff area which is located by what looks like a camping area full of cabins and you get your safety brief and sign waivers. You will be asked if you want photo/video package if you did not already sign up for this. Then they walk you down stairs and you get into the helicopter. You take-off and fly over some forest and field then BOOM you suddenly see a glacier and you fly over it for a bit before you circle back a little to find a "good piece of ice" to land on. You LITERALLY land on the glacier. The flight out is about 15 minutes. You then wait until the helicopter shuts down and the blades stop spinning and the pilot to get out. They will then put spikes on your boots (or whatever you are wearing on your feet) to help you stab into the ice. The spikes on in the middle and heel of your foot. You then walk around the glacier for about 15 minutes to see and take pictures. Ensure to follow all directions as you are walking on ice and not all of it is frozen solid and you may have some areas that you can fall through. Then you get back in and fly back. They will email you a link to view the photos and videos if you purchased that package. The pilot will make weather call so if its bad weather like it was for us they will tell you and reschedule the tour so it is safe and you can have a good experience. Overall the experience is well worth it! read more
