We, family of 3 had opted for Prince William sound with Glacier Landing and followed by Dog Sledding trip with Alpine air alaska. Thanks to nature. Weather permitted us for Prince William sound trip as their cancellation was high. But Alpine air alaska team advised us to be prepared to opt for alternative Glacier landing. Fortunately, weather was very nice. We flew to Prince William Sound and we saw Bears with 2 Cubs, Mountain Goats and Moose Swimming in pond. Our Guide Greg made fantastic landing on Glacier and gave us 30 min. We requested Greg for additional 10 min, which he agreed too. My kid was enjoying clean turquoise water. Entire trip was simply super. I would strongly recommend to take Ultimate tour that covers both Glacier Landing and Dog Sledding.
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.
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!
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
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.
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 :)
Our Prince Williams Sound Tour with Glacier Landing was amazing! Jesse, our pilot, was great! I definitely recommend Alpine Air Alaska.
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!!!
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!
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.
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.
My husband and I scheduled helicopter tour with landing at 2 glaciers. Day of tour it was raining terrible weather I was so grateful for the them to work with us and our vacation days and changed our date for a better experience. It was absolutely incredible! A big thank you to our Pilot Micah! Also to all the ladies who answered and helped us for the tour. The glaciers landing were just super amazing!
great experience with outstanding pilots. my family had a great time and the pilots were understanding and accommodating with my elderly parents.
This was a last minute purchase for the day before we left Alaska and it made the whole trip worth it. This flight was absolutely incredible! Olivia was our pilot and she was amazing! We can’t rave about her enough! She was so much fun and an excellent photographer! I’m so glad we did the 90 minute tour and not the 60 minute as well. We will be talking about this trip for years and will recommend anyone that comes up here to book this!
This tour was the best part of our Alaska trip! The views were breathtaking and the landscape was stunning. Safety was clearly a top priority throughout the entire experience. Our pilot, Nick, ensured we always felt comfortable and secure. The helicopter was modern and well-maintained which added to our peace of mind it being our first time up in one. Everyone at Alpine Air was wonderful. Thanks to Nick for making it more than just a sightseeing tour, it was a memorable experience of a lifetime!
Is an amazing trip the best thing we ever do we really high recommended we enjoyed it a lot. You see me on the trip same thing you never see very nice beautiful view everywhere.
We had so much fun! This was our first helicopter 🚁 ride so we were a little nervous but we felt safe and comfortable and the views were seriously amazing! We got to see a bear 🐻 and a bunch of seals 🦭 and the glaciers were absolutely breathtaking!
As a solo traveler, Alpine Air was great to get me on their standby list until they could work me in with a couple or other solo travelers. The views from the helicopter were spectacular, and the glacier landing was everything and more than I expected. In all, we got to see 5 glaciers as well as the Prince William Sound (including landing on 1 of them)
Views were great but Helicopter pilot wasn’t - we think he brought up his girlfriend as the 4th seat and was busy attending to her instead of paying attention to us paying passengers. Very expensive and they tried to market us the extended tour multiple times.
Best experience ever! Our pilot Jeff was phenomenal!! Superb pilot and a great person too! Walking out on the glacier was so cool - pun intended haha A must do if you're in Alaska!
Just an awesome experience!! Great pilot and the crew was fantastic!! Definitely will book again!! Wonderful views-great info dispensed by pilot!! Amazing!!
Just an awesome adventure!! The pilot and crew were fantastic!! Landed on Colony Glacier snd then on the Prince William Sound!! Would definitely book again!! You will not be disappointed!’
Easy booking process, super friendly staff and pilot. You can’t go wrong checking this off your bucket list. Great value!
This was the experience of a lifetime! Robbie was a great guide and the sights were incomparable. Everyone should take this tour!
Our group of 5 were in Alaska for a business trip and we managed to fit in some time to experience Alaska. The tour we booked with Alpine Air was absolutely SPECTACULAR!! Not only were the views and experience amazing but the office staff and pilots were wonderful! We landed on a glacier and were able to get out and do some exploring which was incredible! The path to Prince William Sound was cut off due to weather but that didn't stop the fun. The pilots landed on the top of a mountain where we were able to get out and walk around. The view was like nothing I've ever seen! The pilots were great about spotting/pointing out the different wildlife on the mountain. We saw black bears (with 2 cubs), moose, bald eagles, and mountain goats. You can't go wrong with this company!
This is one of the best experiences ever. They are a first class operation. I am a pilot and Robby was excellent. Just spectacular in every respect. Just go.
We booked glacier tours with three different companies. All offered unique perspectives, but Alpine Air was by far the most bang for your buck. The views were incredible and I can’t wait to come back and do it again. Highly recommend. Don’t even think about it. Do it!
Weather wasn't cooperating and we couldn't go all the way to Prince William Sound. but we still spent an hour exploring the glaciers with a landing on Spencer and on a ridge where they often have weddings. Breathtakingly beautiful. Lena our pilot did a fantastic job. Highly recommend
While I originally wanted to do the dogsledding tour, it got cancelled twice due to bad weather. But they were happy to book me onto a glacier landing tour as i had no availability to reschedule the dogsledding after the second cancellation. The pilot was absolutely amazing and so was the flight itself. We saw bears and moose on our flight over the national park. The glacier landing itself was exhilarating. We felt safe and excited all at the same time. Would definitely recommend.
Oh my word! What an experience! Our pilot, Kevin was amazing. Very friendly and informative. We land on a pristine glaciers amid vibrant blue glacier water holes! Drank from the glacier. It was surreal. Kevin took many pictures of us on the glacier and not once did we feel rushed to leave. Fabulous experience and I strongly recommend Alpine Air. Right from getting to their hangar to the time we left, we felt very welcomed. STRONGLY RECOMMEND this experience and this company.
The flight was great. We had a beautiful day with clear weather. The sound was beautiful. Landing on a glacier was fun and a great place for pictures. The Alpine Air team was very professional and lots of fun.
Solid job again Alpine Air, great choice for our business clients,always impressed with the team and the experience! We had am amazing time, and obviously we will be back!
Excellent experience! Terrific views. Our pilot, Kevin, was very pleasant and knowledgeable. Our glacier stop was spectacular.
We booked last minute and they accommodated our request for the family to be in one helicopter short notice. Zach our pilot was awesome and explained all our questions and especially my sons silly and loud times. We landed at a great spot and had a good amount of time exploring. Everything was smooth and awesome!
The price may scare you away but this is truly worth every penny. The views are like no other. Although we couldn’t fly to Prince William Sound due to the afternoon winds, we opted for the same amount of flight time to view additional glaciers, points of interest, and wildlife. They offered a slight refund if we only wanted to do the glacier stop. Scott our pilot was a wonderful guide with a keen eye for spotting Moose, Dall sheep, and other unusual sightings. He was a wealth of information. We highly recommend and would definitely do again with Alpine in a different location. We also did a glacier snowmobile tour in Girdwood. If we had to pick one, the helicopter tour would be our choice. Of note… a mask is required while in flight per aviation guidelines.
This was an experience of a lifetime, highly recommend ❤️ Our pilots were amazing! We saw moose and landed on a glacier! It made our first trip to Alaska memorable. We will be back in the summertime for another tour! Thank you from Benson Az.
The entire flight and landing was beyond amazing! Well worth the money! Martin was awesome in so many ways! Great photographer too! Thank you guys so much for the experience of a lifetime! It’s worth spending the extra money to go to Prince William sound. The entire staff was amazing and friendly. Go, you won’t be disappointed!
This was a can't-miss once in a lifetime experience with the most picturesque views, crystalline glaciers, and an exhilarating adventure! Our private pilot Martin was one of the finest people I've ever met! Told us stories, jokes, history about the land we were seeing and was the best private photographer ever! You won't be disappointed!
A great experience that everyone should try. This is the best tour that we had here in Alaska to take a heli ride and set foot to an untouched glacier ice. Steve, the pilot, was very kind and pointed us the never ending mountain of ice after mountain like we’ve never seen before. I would recommend this tour to anyone to experience this amazing once in a lifetime tour.
Can’t say enough about how amazing this was! Thomas, our pilot was exceptionally knowledgeable, kind and fun. This was definitely a bucket list tour. The landscape and glaciers were absolutely breathtaking! I would recommend this to everyone who wants to truly see part of Alaska’s beauty that you can’t see hiking into. Btw the glacier water was the clearest and most refreshing thing I’ve ever tasted. Highly recommend! Thank you Thomas , Jon and Angie 💯
The entire experience was excellent. We were warmly welcomed from the first step we took inside their office through the end of our flight. The ladies running it and our pilot, Martin, were nothing short of fantastic. We will be back for another tour. Well done!
We did the ultimate package and it was *so* worth it. The glacier landing was awesome - my personal favorite thing on our entire Alaska trip! Touring Prince William Sound was super cool, and worth seeing. My wife's favorite part was the dog sledding which came after our glacier landing/tour. Expensive but made our trip - worth every penny. Definitely recommend.
This was an incredible trip! Martin was our pilot. He is very knowledgeable, has a great personality AND is an awesome photographer! We also got to fill our bottle from a pure glacier stream! This is a must do on your trip to Alaska!
Was by far THE HIGHLIGHT of the family's trip in Alaska. Landing on a glacier was a once in a lifetime experience. Prenominal team from start to finish. Amazing views. Unbelievable experience.
Josiah was our pilot and he was fantastic! The trip was so interesting and fun. We had a blast! I would recommend it to everyone!
Words can not adequately describe this experience! This was the best thing we have ever done! The scenery was beautiful, the glacier was amazing and our pilot Martin was the best!! This trip is worth every penny you pay for it!!
Our tour had to be rescheduled the next day due to weather conditions, so they called us 45min before our planned tour to let us know that we have to cancel and ask us when we were available. They accommodate to our availability. We were able to go look at the glacier only during 1h instead of 2h as planned due to weather conditions the next day, so they propose a partial refund to accomodate the 1h tour instead of 2h. The pilot was very safe. The view of the glacier from the helicopter as well as on the glacier is wonderful. We recommend this tour. We were also able to see some animals (moutain goats and mooses).
The entire experience was great - from the moment I called reservations to ask questions - to the exceptional follow-up - a warm, welcoming staff - very experienced and personable pilot - everything was flawless. Stunning scenery, excellent narrative by our pilot, equipment was in tip top shape. It was far more than even our wildest dreams! I highly recommend...
Went out for some wedding photos with our photographer for this trip. Was a great time with the photos being a bonus. Got to see some bears and a beautiful landscape. Out pilot Martin did a great job of making us feel safe. Thank you. Would recommend.
