This was an incredible experience. Everything was unbelievably beautiful and amazing. We loved every second of it! Walking on the glacier was an otherworldly experience. Everyone was very friendly! Highly recommend.
Some experiences entertain you. Others leave you with a profound sense of perspective. Today was the latter. Our adventure with NorthStar Trekking began with a helicopter flight over the Juneau Icefield, tracing the Taku River through one of the most spectacular landscapes I’ve ever seen. But that was only the beginning. After landing at Taku Point, we boarded an airboat and sped toward the face of the Taku Glacier. Along the way, we were treated to something entirely unexpected. Bald eagles perched along the riverbanks, seemingly unbothered by our presence. We drifted remarkably close before they took flight, their immense wings carrying them away almost effortlessly. It was one of those moments no camera can fully capture - but I did nonetheless! Then came the glacier itself. Towering walls of ancient blue ice, the quiet that surrounds them, and eventually the opportunity to stand on the glacier reminded me just how vast—and humbling—our world truly is. Adventure is often measured by adrenaline. The best adventures, however, are measured by awe. My sincere thanks to the outstanding teams at NorthStar Trekking and Airboat Alaska for creating an experience that was thrilling, educational, and unforgettable.
This is not to be missed. It far surpassed my expectations. The airboat ride was like a circus ride through the floating ice up to the face of the glacier. The helicopter landing on the glacier was unforgettable.
The trip over was fantastic Amanda was our pilot and she can FLY she was great landing was the smoothest possibly both ways to and from Ben was our guide along with Cody and could not have been more perfect they are the best :)
Our original helicopter tour to Mendenhall was cancelled at the last minute. A tour booth said this was a “Bad Ass tour”(forgive the language). She was dead on!!! The tour team was so professional and FUN! We enjoyed every minute of this experience. It was BAD ASS!! I would Highly recommend this experience. Helicopter pilot Lee was wonderful and Brian on the boat was loads of fun! DO NOT HESITATE to Book this adventure!!
This was THE Best excursion we have ever done! We have been to Alaska 6 times in the last 18 ! The helicopter ride was incredible and beautiful! The Glacier landing was so amazing. Ok now the airboat ride was absolutely BEAUTIFUL, FUN, AMAZING. We were just so excited with this trip. the airboat was so great, you are small group so the personal attention is great! BOOK THIS you won’t regret it !
A true unique adventure that cannot be compared to other tours. The airborne ride provided varied and up close views of the glacier and surrounding scenery. This is not a small glacier segment but a broad view of the glacial face. The owner operator supplied very warm coats for the ride and was kind and informative. I am so happy that he had made this experience available to us. The chopper ride took us over the mountain and dropped us where the airboat deck faces the glacier and sits next to a waterfall. After the ride the chopper picked us up for a trip landing on the glacier near a blue pool before flying over the Taku glacier and the mountains. I have been all over the world, but wow what a great day.
Best experience! Small group 5 guest personalized service. We walked on the Glacier and took an airboat to see it up close
Awesome trip, we had clear weather, great customer service and a smooth flight. Airboat was super cool, we really got up close. Definitely would recommend this trip.
I have been on many adventures all over the world. This felt like the most out of this world experience. The Helicopter ride over the river and then through the valleys of the mountains made me feel like I was in Narnia! The airboat ride was exhilarating and filled with all the wildlife. Seals, bald eagles, moose, and the wild Captain Brian all made for an unforgettable tour. Leaving the river and landing on the glacier was icing on the cake. standing on top of hundreds of feet of ice looking into the dark blue and watching as streams rolled off of the surface of the mountain of ice… Nothing short of miraculous. I hope you make the choice to go if you get the chance. You won’t be disappointed!!!
