The experience of my life have the opportunity to take and airplane ride to see 5 different glaciers is a wow factor and the best way to do it considering the weather factor . You will not regret . It’s accessible for people with mobility issues . They offer a ramp with handrail to access the airplane . What you see worth more than what you paid for . It’s unbelievable

From check in to flight everything is smooth as glass pilot Bryan was amazing informative friendly and truly loved to fly would highly recommend booking this tour again and again don’t think about don’t read any more reviews truly top of the class operation
The five glacier tour by seaplane was amazing! Definitely the highlight of our excursions in Alaska. Seeing the vastness of the glacier fields by air, the rugged terrain, the beautiful lakes and valleys, things that cannot be seen from land. The flight was smooth. The narration was excellent. Every seat with a window! It’s worth the price.
This seaplane excursion was great. Pilot was very friendly. Everything was very well organized. Sights were amazing!
Leg room only good for people shorter than 5’3”. I’m 5’11”; traveller in front of me was tall and heavy and kept shoving his seat in my lap. Viewing experience of the glaciers was not worth the cost.
Excellent flight by pilot Trevor! We truly enjoyed the trip. Smooth. The customer service at check in was top of the line.
Great flight. Very smooth and wonderful views of the ice fields and glaciers. The audio commentary using headsets was really clear and informative
The tour was spectacular! Our pilot Bruce was awesome and we’re so happy we experienced Juneau this way.
