I booked this tour as a once in a lifetime opportunity, but I was mistaken. It was so amazing I WILL do it again! Everyone one that I interacted with was amazing and kind and friendly. They were also very knowledgeable. If you get a chance to do this tour, I highly recommend it.
Thank you for the kind words! We are so happy you enjoyed your tour and look forward to seeing you again.
This was one of the most bad ass things we did on our entire trip to Alaska. I would do it again in a heartbeat!
Thank you for the review and kind words. Alaska is truly one of a kind! We're so glad you enjoyed it as much as we do. Hope to see you again!
A fantastic experience. We waited for the weather to lift all week long so we could utilize the helicopter for a great experience the communication was great all week long and we made it we had a wonderful ride ride with Hutch. He gave us great service for tours longer than expected and we saw animals as well as landed twice versus once. The best company ever
Thank you for the kind words! We are thrilled to hear you had a blast enjoying our beautiful glacier views with Hutch. Hope you had an amazing rest of your trip! Cheers, Camille
We had a fantastic experience with Jessie as our pilot. Due to weather we could not fly the sound but were able to do 2 glacier landings instead. Amazing experience with beautiful scenery and in very capable hands. The glacier landings were great. Would do again in a heart beat.
Thank you for joining us! I'm so glad you enjoyed the beautiful scenery and the glacier landings. Thank you for your kind words. Happy travels, Rachel
We booked at the beginning of our week in AK so we were able to change our flight day and time to accommodate the weather before we left to go back home. We flew out of Girdwood. We got lucky and Mytte, our pilot, was able to go through the pass and take us to Prince William Sound. The rain had stopped and the clouds lifted just in time for our 3:00 flight. The flight was smooth as glass. It was amazing!!! The scenery was fabulous. We saw a moose just lounging down below. The rivers and lakes were beautiful and milky blue. The lake below the glacier had big and tiny icebergs floating in it. The glacier landing was wild. Spencer glacier is 1100 feet thick Mytte told us. The melted snow was sitting in small blue pools on the glacier. There were tiny steams of melted snow runoff and even a tiny waterfall on the glacier. We saw so many rushing rivers and powerful waterfalls from the air. Do not hesitate to take this tour - you will not regret it :)
Hi Trek424, Thank you for taking the time to write this thoughtful review. I agree, the scenery, blue glacier pools, rivers, lakes and waterfalls are all pretty incredible. Thanks for the opportunity to show you around. Kindly, Rachel
Our Prince Williams Sound Tour with Glacier Landing was amazing! Jesse, our pilot, was great! I definitely recommend Alpine Air Alaska.
We're grateful for you! Thank you for joining us on for this experience. I'm glad you enjoyed your time with on the glacier with our fantastic pilot Jess! Kindly, Rachel
Amazing experience!! We did a flight tour AND dog sledding. Our favorite after two weeks in Alaska! Staff was so friendly and made me feel very comfortable (I was really nervous) The flight was very smooth; our pilot Jess did an incredible job! Landing on a glacier and walking around was indescribable!! Dog sledding was my husband's bucket list item, and he was not disappointed!! Such an amazing three hours! Highly, highly recommend!!!
Thank you so much! I am so glad that you had fun on both of your tours!! Thank you for flying with us. -Megan
Definitely recommend the helicopter tour from Valdez over the Columbia glacier. Al was an amazing pilot and we had such a great time, experience of a lifetime! Highly recommend Alpine air, Alaska!
We are so glad you had a great time! Thank you for the kind review! All the best, Carmen
The trip with 6 of us in the family in 2 r44 helicopters was superb. The instructions were simple and clear, the pilots were very chatty and pointed out moose, mountain goats, sea otters and other wildlife at a respectful distance and also very knowledgeable about the glaciers and geography of the region. We had an incredible day with clear blue skies and calm conditions. Thank you all very much. Highly recommend to anyone visiting the area.
What wonderful memories to share with your family. Thank you for letting us be a part of it.
This was the greatest experience we had in our recent visit to Alaska. The pilot, Jackson, was experienced and made us completely comfortable. The sites were beautiful beyond description. The office staff was welcoming and ready to answer any questions.
Thanks so much for joining us!!
