This was THE best experience we had in Alaska! The views were spectacular and the length of the tour was perfect. We had a great pilot too, Logan. Highly recommend to anyone going to Juneau!
Amazing doesn't seem to to do it justice but as close as it gets!! We would highly recommend this to everyone, we did have exceptional weather conditions that made the views incredible as well. Our pilot, John, did a fantastic job of flying so we could all enjoy everything there was to see.
Beautiful Beautiful Experience. Highly recommended. It was definitely a Must see excursion . Thank God the weather was perfect
It was amazing. Very well organized and the scenery was breathtaking. I would definitely book thru Viatar instead of thru the cruise line...Price was soooo much better.
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!
