This was a premium experience, the guides were incredible (we had Hunter as our guide and both Mark as our pilots) and the scenery was breathtaking. The helicopter ride itself was like a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We loved it
Must try!

From the offline arrangements up to the actual day, communication between the tour company and myself was great. We had to reschedule our initial booking due to road closure and we were very lucky to have gotten a slot 2 days later :”) Do allow some days of buffering as these activities are very dependent on weather and road conditions. Overall, my husband and I felt very happy to have gone for this experience. The safety briefing was really necessary, our instructor Anna was very knowledgeable as we asked a lot of questions about the glaciers and she patiently answers them. She ensured that the group is safe throughout the entire heli hike experience. Lots of time to take photo and it was really cool to go through the ice caves. Do note that these Cave’s sizes varies from time to time, sometimes it’s small and sometimes it’s big! We are really thankful!
Top notch excursion

The best glacier excursion ever. Walked/crawled through glacier caves/wholes. Drank glacier water. Made slushie with glacier ice. Learned tons. Hunter was an awesome guide. The heli ride was amazing. On the way back we made a close fly by a glacier on a mountain’s face. Highly recommended.
Beautiful experience
