We had an excellent trip. Christina did a great job and we told here what we would like to see and she picked the perfect spots for our 2 landings. She answered all of our questions and explained so much. I would highly recommend this trip.
This is with no doubt a must do tour. Walking on a glacier is a truly memorable experience. From the time we were picked up from our hotel by the excellent Theresa the experience began. Our amazing helicopter pilot was Christine who provided us with an epic journey over and on the glaciers. Do yourself a favor and include this in your travel itinerary. You will not be disappointed.
Thank you for visiting our "backyard" with us. We whole heartedly agree that it is a must do when in Alaska! Your kind words will be passed along to Teresa and Christine! Safe travels back home.
