Sheep Mountain Air is a family-run flightseeing service nestled near Alaska’s Matanuska Glacier. Seasoned bush pilots share decades of local knowledge as they glide over icefields, alpine lakes, and the rugged peaks that give the ...
Mark and his team have built something truly special here, and it shows in every aspect of the experience. As owner and pilot, Mark clearly loves what he does, sharing his passion for Alaska's glaciers through smooth, cinematic flights that put even nervous flyers at ease. The tours include actual glacier landings where you can walk on ancient ice, explore blue meltwater pools, and take in views that guests consistently describe as life-changing. Wildlife sightings of moose and bears add an extra thrill to the journey. What really stands out is the personal, family-run feel of the operation. Multiple couples chose this provider for their elopement packages, praising Mark's skills as pilot, photographer, and officiant all in one. The staff goes above and beyond to accommodate special requests and fix booking mix-ups, treating each guest like they genuinely matter. First-time helicopter riders feel safe and cared for, while adventure seekers get customized routes to see exactly what they want. This is consistently called the highlight of people's Alaska trips, and the enthusiasm in these reviews makes it easy to see why.
Can’t express how magical this experience was. Mark and his wife were incredible hosts to our young family (brought a 1 and 3 year old on board). They were great with kids and made the experience all the better by just getting how to handle getting their spikes on so they could walk on the ice, and guiding us safely through the caves. The tour was educational and fun too with stories and fun facts. Additionally, Mark has a photography background and was able to coach me on my video I was taking for a project (stills from the videos attached) - thanks again for the incredible tour!
