This glacier helicopter tour consistently delivers what reviewers call "once-in-a-lifetime" experiences, with passengers raving about the entire operation from start to finish. The professionalism stands out immediately—everything runs smoothly, from shuttle pickups to gear distribution (they provide all necessary clothing and equipment). Guides like Ann, Mike, Juan, Logan, and Sue earn specific praise for their knowledge and friendly approach, while pilots get kudos for spectacular flights over mountains, ice fields, and waterfalls. The actual glacier trek is the star attraction, with travelers genuinely blown away by walking on ancient ice, spotting deep blue crevasses, and drinking fresh glacier water. Multiple reviews emphasize this is expensive, but people overwhelmingly say it's worth every penny. One practical tip that comes up: don't over-layer your clothing since you'll warm up quickly during the trek and won't have anywhere to stash extra gear. Fair warning—you need decent fitness levels to fully enjoy this adventure, as the terrain requires active movement and sure footing.
This is the second time I have been on this tour. They are professional, knowledgeable and make it very enjoyable and fun. Glacier was beautiful! The mountains, the snow and ice, the clouds, waterfalls and on and on! Flew up and back. Took the long way there to show us the country some. Walked around about an hour. Got to drink pure glacier water. Note: it's very cold!!
