Tour di arrampicata sul ghiaccio del ghiacciaio in elicottero

There really aren’t adequate words to express how fabulous this whole experience was. Everything from the smiles that greeted us at the dock, to the very informative ride to the airport, to the last photo taken with our helicopter pilot at the end of the adventure …..all perfectly executed. The staff is warm, friendly, and so helpful. Sarah and Ashley expertly guided and taught our group about the glacier all the while keeping our safety front and center. With humor, insight, and extensive knowledge, they shared their love of the outdoors, particularly “their glacier” with us. Their passion for the glacier was evident in the detail they shared about its ever-changing nature. If you are looking for a way to experience Juneau in a unique and awe-filled day, I would highly recommend Northstar Helicopters.

This tour was the highlight of our trip. We wanted something iconic and adventurous and this did not disappoint. We were already planning for a helicopter tour, so naturally adding ice climbing was a no brainer. Our guides: Jonathan, Sam, and Ari were incredible. Genuinely fun, but also so ready to help us and teach us and show us everything they love about the glacier. It was fun to see it through their eyes. Honestly, this blew us out of the water and we left with our buckets so full! Thanks North Star!!

This was an amazing experience! Definitely worth it! The staff was very professional and the guides were competent and engaging. One of the best excursions I have ever been on.

Amazing! Jonathan and Dillon were our guides, and they made sure that we got the most out of our experience. They also made it a lot of fun! We got to do a little bit of everything, and the unbelievable views from the helicopter ride was the cherry on top! I highly recommend this tour!

This was the highlight of our Alaskan cruise! Walking on the glacier was an unforgettable experience. Everything is very organized. When you arrive you they have everything ready for you based on your sizes..pants, coat, shoes. They also provide gloves. The only outwear you need to bring is a hat. Loved every minute!

Landing on the Mendenhall glacier was an emotional experience. Our young guide Ari (short for Aristotle) was chill (no pun intended!) and informative and interesting and perfect. The whole operation was staffed with helpful, friendly, professional people that made the experience so wonderful. I ABSOLUTELY WOULD RECOMMEND IT!!

The staff was extremely friendly, helpful, and professional. They were genuinely interested in making sure my wife and I had a great time. Also, they seemed just as excited for us as we were to see the glacier for the first time. They gave us everything we needed for the trek and even a drink and snack. The pilot was very nice and professional. The guide was also super friendly and knowledgeable. He taught us a lot, was very helpful, and even helped a lot with taking pictures. His name was Sean, I recommend him.

This was an incredible experience, and the tour operators were fantastic. My family’s athleticism is a mixed bag: I’m an avid climber, while my mom and aunt had never even touched a climbing rope before. Everyone was a little concerned going in, but our guides — Cody, Sam, and Owen — were incredibly friendly, patient, and encouraging as they helped everyone get up the ice walls. Nobody on the tour was disappointed. Everyone in my family agreed it was our best excursion yet. If you’re even reading this review, you should absolutely book this trip. NorthStar gave us the perfect day trip in Juneau as well as plenty to talk about at the brewery when we got back to town. Special shoutout to Eli, our pilot, who made the flight up to the glacier even more interesting with his knowledge and commentary.

I just came back from my Heli ice climbing glacier tour with them today . This was my second tour with them . I did Heli Glacier hiking tour yesterday as well. Everything from pick up , to instructions about safety , and the support from all the staff may it be ground or the field was amazing . The guides were funny and educative. I really loved this company . Highly recommend them for all you glacier tours. They are also affordable as compared to others in south central region. Over all experience 5/5. 16 th May 2026. A traveller from India.

I highly recommend this tour. We had a great bus driver. And we had 2 amazing guides On the glacier itself. I just want to mention that you are given jackets and boots and snow pants along with water and a snack so don't worry about all that stuff it comes with the trip I don't forget to tip the tour guides 10 bucks apiece they are awesome.
