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....

Out pilot Martin did a great job of making us feel safe. Thank you. Would recommend.

This excursion along with a bear viewing flight seeing trip out of Homer were our two favorite outings in our 9 day trip to the Kenai Peninsula! The process from start to finish with Alpine Air was very well organized with good communication and professionalism. We lucked out with perfect weather and by being the only two people on the tour. But, we were told that they are set up that even if the max of 6 people sign up, everyone still gets a window seat with great views. I highly recommend taking the longest 90 minute tour. It goes by fast and there is so much to see. The views are absolutely breathtaking and surreal. We even saw a mama brown bear and her two cubs foraging on a mountain side and two mountain goats crossing a glacier! Our guide, Ty, was very informative, friendly and enjoyable to be with. Definitely worth the money and when we return to the area, we will likely book another tour with Alpine Air!My wife and I had a great flightseeing trip with helicopter pilot Ty.

My wife and I had a great flightseeing trip with helicopter pilot Ty. We saw six black bears while flying over myriad glaciers. We landed on Colony Glacier - a spectacular viewing opportunity of a glacier close-up. Words can't describe the experience very well, so a few photos are attached. A must-do while staying in Girdwood!Martin was our pilot. Very professional, nice and easy to talk to. He shared a bunch of information on the mountains and glaciers as we flew over them. He definitely loves what he does and it shows, thank you Martin.
