Amazing trip with Prince William Sound and Dog Sledding. - We, family of 3 had opted for Prince William sound with Glacier Landing and followed by Dog Sledding trip with Alpine air alaska. Thanks to nature. Weather permitted us for Prince William sound trip as their cancellation was high. But Alpine air alaska team advised us to be prepared to opt for alternative Glacier landing. Fortunately, weather was very nice. We flew to Prince William Sound and we saw Bears with 2 Cubs, Mountain Goats and Moose Swimming in pond. Our Guide Greg made fantastic landing on Glacier and gave us 30 min. We requested Greg for additional 10 min, which he agreed too. My kid was enjoying clean turquoise water. Entire trip was simply super. I would strongly recommend to take Ultimate tour that covers both Glacier Landing and Dog Sledding.

Unforgettable experience - I booked this tour as a once in a lifetime opportunity, but I was mistaken. It was so amazing I WILL do it again! Everyone one that I interacted with was amazing and kind and friendly. They were also very knowledgeable. If you get a chance to do this tour, I highly recommend it.

I will never forget this tour - A fantastic experience. We waited for the weather to lift all week long so we could utilize the helicopter for a great experience the communication was great all week long and we made it we had a wonderful ride ride with Hutch. He gave us great service for tours longer than expected and we saw animals as well as landed twice versus once. The best company ever

Awesome! - We had a fantastic experience with Jessie as our pilot. Due to weather we could not fly the sound but were able to do 2 glacier landings instead. Amazing experience with beautiful scenery and in very capable hands. The glacier landings were great. Would do again in a heart beat.

Amazing Prince William Sound Tour - We booked at the beginning of our week in AK so we were able to change our flight day and time to accommodate the weather before we left to go back home. We flew out of Girdwood. We got lucky and Mytte, our pilot, was able to go through the pass and take us to Prince William Sound. The rain had stopped and the clouds lifted just in time for our 3:00 flight. The flight was smooth as glass. It was amazing!!! The scenery was fabulous. We saw a moose just lounging down below. The rivers and lakes were beautiful and milky blue. The lake below the glacier had big and tiny icebergs floating in it. The glacier landing was wild. Spencer glacier is 1100 feet thick Mytte told us. The melted snow was sitting in small blue pools on the glacier. There were tiny steams of melted snow runoff and even a tiny waterfall on the glacier. We saw so many rushing rivers and powerful waterfalls from the air. Do not hesitate to take this tour - you will not regret it :)

Favorite Memory from Alaska - Amazing experience!! We did a flight tour AND dog sledding. Our favorite after two weeks in Alaska! Staff was so friendly and made me feel very comfortable (I was really nervous) The flight was very smooth; our pilot Jess did an incredible job! Landing on a glacier and walking around was indescribable!! Dog sledding was my husband's bucket list item, and he was not disappointed!! Such an amazing three hours! Highly, highly recommend!!!
