Definitely a highlight of our Alaska trip! Everyone from the shuttle driver to the training staff to the helicopter pilot and glacier guides were friendly, informative and even took great photos for us that we will cherish forever. The timing for this excursion gave us plenty of time to shop and eat delicious king crab legs prior to getting back on the boat. Highly recommended!

Loved this excursion !!!

It definately is a wonderful experience, never been on a chopper before, the only downside i see is you only spend 20 minutes on the glacier and in an area no mode than a 100 meter to walk, its understandable its for safety issues.

It was awesome but one several things could have made it better.
1. The pilot never told us how to talk back and forth to each other through the headsets. So we couldn't ask questions.
2. Other helicopter excursions I have been on videotape it and this can be purchased at the end. I was disappointed this wasn't available.

Fantastic! We had a perfectly sunny day, excellent views of everything, and a wonderful guide on the glacier to educate us on its formation, etc.
Sep 2019 - Stuart M.
This trip really made our holiday to Alaska. What an experience to see the Glacier from the air then to actually walk on a Glacier but to actually taste the freshness of the water has to be done - it was amazing! Again everything was very well organised with this tour company. Than you

Alaska Shore Excursions provided a wonderful glacier experience. We enjoyed majestic views, informative guides and friendly assistance.

We booked this excursion for our NCL Cruise to Alaska last week. NCL's prices were INSANE for the same exact trip. Sometimes when you can find a cheaper price, there is a reason for it. However, by far, this the best money we have ever spent on an excursion. To experience not only the flight over the mountains and glaciers, to sip glacier water, to get "glacial facials"... we can't even describe what an experience this was. We 100% recommend this excursion to everyone and if we are ever back in Juneau we will be doing this again!

The helicopter ride was great. The company was very professional and very friendly. The glacier walk was disappointing as our walking time was short and not much to see.
Aug 2019 - Dennis B.

Expensive but it was worth the ride, if you are in Alaska a Helicopter ride to the glacier is a must.
Aug 2019 - Rebecca L.
However short the excursion was, it was quite spectacular. The heli pilot was great and very informative. My mom and daughters, who had never been on a helicopter before, had a great time, given the skill of our pilot. We have recommended that excursion to friends who are going to Alaska.
Aug 2019 - Rita C.
Just a little comment from the pilot about what we were seeing would have been nice. We had none, it was just a shuttle to the glacier. The tour guide on the glacier was great though. Overall we enjoyed it.

Fantastic! So amazing! I did think it was supposed to be 2-5 hrs and it was only 2! The young man that pick us up was great- pointing out important things, helicopter pilot was great! The girl guide on the glacier did a great job! Loved it all!! Would like to have flown around a little more!!

Good experience.

One of the coolest excursions I've ever experienced!! Getting to the glacier via helicopter was awesome, the views were amazing and our pilot and guide were so knowledgeable. Mendenhall Glacier is a must-see if you go to Juneau.
Jul 2019 - Sridevi G.
I wished i could spend more time in glacier. But the tour was great.
Jun 2019 - Julie B.
Outstanding experience! Both our pilot Rasmus and our glacier guide Sal were AWESOME. Trip of a lifetime. The boots for walking on the glacier made the task a snap. No need to worry about traction. Great safety orientation. Lots of phenomenal photos. This is a must-do excursion!
Jun 2019 - Paul C.
This was our highlight tour of the entire Alaska trip. Great people from the pick up at the ship and in between. Great prices also
May 2019 - Yujie T.
It is definitely worth it
May 2019 - Rick M.
Great tour. The glacier was spectacular and we learned much about it. The crew was very professional and kept our safety in mind, yet were fun. Highly recommend.
May 2019 - Shaun G.
What can say? Awesome! The tour operator was fabulous. I was picked up at cruise terminal and taken to the airport. After the safety briefing and over boots, it was up to the Glacier. A "bucket list" for me, ride and land on the glacier. 45 mins safe walk-about with tutorial and then watch the helicopters fly in and pick us up. Outstanding and never to be forgotten.
Fellow cruisers, I booked direct and saved loads of cash!

This was a wonderful experience. Dillinger was our guide and was funny and informative. The helicopter portion was scary for me, but thanks to their safety talk and their attention to safety, I was put at ease. Walking on a glacier is a not to be missed experience. Highly recommend!
May 2019 - Dana F.
This was an amazing experience. The helpful tips on the ticket prepared us for the cold and the boots provided made walking on the ice a safer experience. I think the ride to the landing spot could have been a little longer and more scenic with some emphasis on what we were passing over, but overall, I'm glad we did this one. A once in a lifetime experience and worth the cost.

Wonderful experience. The staff were great. Very helpful and informative. Appreciate their efforts to preserve the beautiful glaciers.

I would wholeheartedly recommend this excursion
Sep 2018 - Randall P.
Absolutely wonderful experience. right from the pick up near the ship (which included great local historical information from our driver), to the ground crew, the pilot, and staff up on the glacier! If your Alaskan cruise is a bucket lister (as ours was), this is a MUST SEE, and I would recommend this company in a heartbeat!
Sep 2018 - Anthony E.
Beautiful! Just wish it lasted longer. First class pilots and equipment.

Cool
Worth the money
Aug 2018 - Dean W.
Excellent excursion. Booked direct not through the cruise ship. Mike was an excellent pilot and guide on the glacier I have been on over 20 cruises and many excursions this by far is one of the best.

Once in a lifetime experience!
Aug 2018 - Pat E.
Wow. What an exhilerating experience of a lifetime! Highly recommended to anyone looking for a breathtaking helicopter ride that actually lands on a glacier! Staff was very knowledgeable, scenery was beautiful and we even did an "Alaskan push-up" to drink glacial water! Thanks again!!
Aug 2018 - Jeffrey P.
everything was fantastic! the guide on the glacier was very personable as was the van driver. The pilot was quiet and not as outgoing but as long as he flew the helicopter safely I was fine with it. Our first time in a helicopter so we were a little nervous but it was great! Would definitely reccommend this to everyone.
Jul 2018 - Chris K.
Fantastic experience

This was our favorite excursion by far. What a cool opportunity to go to the top of the glacier and the views from the helicopter are second to none.
Jun 2018 - Molly D.
This is a life changer! A must do if at all possible! Walk on the glaciers while they still exist, take a sip from a glacier stream, feel the sense of awe st being in such a magnificent place! Great tour! Great guides!
Jun 2018 - Loren O.
A very enjoyable trip! A once in a lifetime experience actually stepping foot in a glacier and being taught the history and dynamics of them while there. Tasting the ice cold, fresh water was a treat and the helicopter ride itself was a unique experience. I recommend taking this tour at one of your Alaska stops!
Jun 2018 - Terence W.
We had a great time on this tour, got great pictures and would definitely recommend this to others.
We were picked up at the Mt Roberts Tramway station, which was right at the entrance of town from where our cruise ship had docked (Royal Caribbean). We were driven by bus to the airport. Another group got us into our gear (overboots that slipped over our shoes), given instructions and then we got onto the helicopters (5 people per helicopter). We flew over the glacier and then landed on the glacier. There, we had plenty of time to take pictures and hear lots of interesting things about the glacier from our guide. And then it was time to go back. We had a great time on this tour and would definitely recommend it to others.

Mendenhall glacier tour was fantastic. People were very friendly and helpful. Helicopter ride was out of this world. Guided walk was an amazing experience. A bright and sunny day enhanced the glacier experience. Overall 5 star rating.

I found the tour very interesting because I remember studying glaciers in 6-8th grade. I was fascinated about the natural wonders of our environment. The helicopter ride was a thrill. Going up so high over the mountains and descending so quick seemed like a roller coaster ride. I wished the helicopter could have spun a 360 degree over the mountain sheep with kids. This is a natural wildlife sighting that less people will ever experience, than a glacier. My 85 year father-in-law was angry that he didn't see the sheep, and he was seated by the front door. I
am 64 and shall remember the tour forever. Oh, it was good to see how the youthful helpers on the ground helped the elderly get ready. I smeared the mud on my face and drank the glacier water. I couldn't have experienced more, in such a short time.
Sep 2016 - Patrick G.
Breathtaking and surreal
Sep 2016 - Margaret A R.
we did have a great time. it was awesome. the glacier was something to see.it was cold and raining but i would do it all over again
Aug 2016 - Barrett E.
Highly recommend this. Seeing the glacier from a distance doesn't do them justice. You do not realize the magnitude of them till you stand on one. The folks were very knowledgeable as the group ask questions.
