We booked this helicopter tour at the end of a week long Alaska cruise, and this was, by far, the highlight of our whole vacation! There were 6 of us aged 22-80. The 2 pilots flew us over the terrain and right over the top of glaciers. We landed at the base of the glacier for 15 minutes and were able to get up close to nature. The pilots were knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. This was an experience of a lifetime and I would recommend this company and this tour without hesitation! Very professional and worth every penny!

I can't say enough positive words about our experience. The views were just unbelievable, the pilot was - in my opinion - extremely skilled. He asked several times if our stomachs were up for a more exciting flight, to which we enthusiastically said YES, and boy did he deliver! Yes, a helicopter tour is not cheap, but if you can manage to make it happen, this is an experience you will not forget and for that, I consider it something of a bargain.

This trip was the HIGHLIGHT of our trip to Alaska. My 20 somethings and teens were not convinced that they needed to go to Alaska, but this flight was their favorite experience. It was absolutely breathtaking - we saw the glaciers up close and flew along the coastline with eagles sitting on mountain peaks and seals below us. The water was an unbelieveable shade of blue. We saw the icebergs, the waterfalls, the glaciers calving. It was an experience that will stay with us for the rest of our lives and all of my kids listed it as their favorite experience of our trip (and there were so many wonderful things that we did). We did it right before we boarded our cruise ship - we were picked up and brought back to our hotel. It was super efficient.

Its was one of the most amazing experiences we've ever had on a vacation. The sun was shining, we saw bears and mountain goats. We were welcomed warmly and our pilot was the BEST! No other way to experience the Glaciers!

I forget my pilots name but he so friendly , such a good pilot, took his time and made sure we had the best experience and the most breathtaking views. No one should skip this experience in Seward . Thank you

We had an amazing overnight stay at the Bear Glacier yurts for a birthday celebration. Seward Helicopter Tours did a great job with communication, customizing an extended flight seeing package on the way out and even arranged for a cake for the birthday girl. Our host was friendly and helpful and our pilots were so cheerful and fun.

Sherrie and I had an amazing trip to Bear Glacier. Jeremy was an excellent pilot and host. Very entertaining and well worth the cost. I highly recommend this as a bucket list experience.

We toured as much of Alaska as we could in 8 days. Everything from hiking in Denali to a private boat tour in Homer. The helicopter tour was the activity we enjoyed and talked about the most. My wife and I were celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary. Most of our tours involved hiking where we could only see so much (with hours of walking involved). While we very much enjoyed that, the helicopter tour allowed us to see so much in a relatively short amount of time. Tanner was our pilot and he was fantastic. Everything from pointing out wildlife, providing flexibility in our route, answering our many questions, to playing AC/DC over the headset. He even took the attached picture for us. Coming over the mountaintop to the views of a bay beyond were simply incredible and unforgettable. On a side note, my wife generally does not like flying. Even a big commercial flight gets her a little queasy. I will say I was nervous booking a helicopter tour knowing that she gets "sea-sick" quite easily. I/we could not have been more surprised at how easy and smooth the flight was for her. You are so close to the action but do not have the uneasy feeling. My wife likened the sensation to driving in a car. So if you are nervous about not feeling well, take it from us that was not an issue at all.

Tanner took us on an incredible flight where we were able to see Bear glacier up close. We saw mountain goats and several black bear on the mountain sides. He circled back for areas we wanted to view again or up closer. Highly recommend this tour to everyone!

The views are absolutely amazing! So glad we did this trip. It’s expensive, but views and experiences from air at slower pace and up close is so worth it. Would do it again. Staff is super great to work with. Only negative is using portable potty outside. Very small draw back, but only improvement I can see to be critical.

Seward is amazing town and this helicopter tour is epic! If you have some extra cash to burn on vacation this is best investment for memories of lifetime.

We were originally booked for the glacier landing with dog sled. So we were disappointed when we were told that it was too windy to land safely on the glacier. They offered to try a different day or do a flight seeing tour instead. We opted for the flight seeing, and boy were we surprised! We saw so much Alaskan beauty that we would have never seen doing the dog sled. The office staff were on edge after having a day full of cancellations and angry customers, but the tour wiped all our frustrations away! Our pilot was informative and gave us an experience we will never forget!💙💚

We decided, sort of at the last minute, to book a helicopter tour while we were in Seward. So glad we did. The staff answering the phones (maybe Elise?) was extremely helpful and patient while we tried to figure out if we wanted to do the Dog Sled tour or the Scenic Flight over Aialik Glacier. I don’t think we could’ve made a bad decision either way, but we went with the 45 minute scenic flight. Since there were four of us (me, my wife, and our two boys - 16 and 14), we had to split up. Our pilots did a great job showing us all the sights and keeping us safe. We had done the Kenai Fjords Tour cruise out to Aialik the day before, so it was awesome to see it from the air as well. Highly recommended if you are in the area. I’ve heard the Dog Sled experience is great as well. Maybe do both if you have the time!

This was an absolutely AMAZING experience! I've been on dozens of boat tours out of Seward so to see the landscape from the air was absolutely spectacular! The boats can only get so close to the glaciers and you really don't realize how far away you really are until the helicopter flies you right next to and over them! I Highly Recommend taking a heli tour at least once in your life!

Absolutely fabulous. Cody our pilot was exceptionally knowledgeable and made the trip truly rewarding. Mountainous terrain was certainly expected but bear, bald eagle sightings while great were no comparison to the ice field/ glacier flyover. Incredible

Seeing the glacier up close and getting our photo made with a glacier in the background. The pilot was very confident and found a bear for us to see.

The helicopter was excellent, great visibility for taking photos. The pilot was friendly and excellent at taking us to magnificent vistas. The whole experience was one of the great highlights of our Alaska trip!
