Completely amazing. The highlight of my Alaska trip. My son and I had never been in a helicopter before. Plus this was our first trip to Alaska. What an amazing experience. The flight was great, I felt very safe. The views, when we stopped on top of the mountain, were stunning. We got out of the helicopter, and could walk just around the immediate area where it landed. A beautiful clear day, and you could see forever it seemed. I would highly recommend this trip, it was the trip I'll remember forever.

This was amazing!!! Well worth the money. The views from the sky were amazing!! Our captain was soo great and pointed out a lot of cool things to see. We couldn't land up top due to the cloud coverings, but he landed in a cove off the water and it was still beautiful!!!

It was our first time on a helicopter. We had two of them as we are a family of 5. It was amazing. The pilots were awesome and the ride was incredible. Landing on top of one of the mountains was beautiful. My boys loved all of it. Wish it was longer!
