We were on Royal Caribbean. It was a very easy walk to the Seaplane. The experience was amazing. Beautiful views. I highly recommend it.
Fun pilot provided a wonderful trip above the glaciers, between the mountains, and landing on the sea. Truly provided a view you just don't get anywhere else. If the price doesn't get bonkers, very much worth the trip
Great views of Five Glaciers. You may as well see them within the next few years before Global Warming melts away Alaska's Ice Age.
Amazing views of glaciers. So interesting, informative and totally awesome. Knowledgable pilot, great planes
This is a once in a lifetime experience that you should budget into your trip. Seeing the glaciers from above is completely mind blowing. The plane is safe and it’s not too loud. There is a recording in your headset that gives you pertinent information. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable.
Our Mandenhall glacier helicopter tour was cancelled due to fog on the glacier, & we were quite disappointed. We booked this seaplane tour as an alternative through the tour people at the port. The staff at Wings was wonderful to us. The seaplane tour was fantastic. Our pilot was very knowledgeable & very nice. We enjoyed the tour immensely. It’s breathtaking flying over the glaciers. Highly recommended this tour !!
This excursion exceeded our expectations. I was initially nervous about the smaller plane but the views were absolutely amazing. Totally worth it! The trip of a lifetime! The company was great to fly with. I was also nervous to book outside of our cruise ship but it was easy to book with Viator, no issues or problems. They dock along side of the ships so you’re within walking distance there. We showed our tickets from our phone at the dock.
Book it now! Best way to truly see Alaska!
A wonderful experience!! We visited several glaciers, a spectacular view! Very good attention
Great experience but be sure to be checked in 30 minutes before the time on your ticket. We actually missed our 1st flight. Fortunately we could rebook. Viator needs to make that a bit more clear
