It was a nice flight. Our pilot tried his best to look for wild animals during our flight. Whole experience was marvelous especially being on top of glacier. I wish we could stay there a little bit longer. Definitely would recommend.

Once in a lifetime experience! We organised the Icefield Excursion directly with Coastal
Helicopters and the whole day went perfectly. No dramas about returning to the ship on time either. The company is very professional and well organised. Our pilot was fantastic and ensured we all had a chance to get the best photos of the glacier. Have already recommended to others.

Our pilot was very nice and shared with us details about the glacier and our trip. The flight over Hubbard Glacier was amazing, and it was a dream come true to walk on a glacier!

A helicopter ride is special in its own right. An entertaining pilot makes it even better. Exploring a glacier by air before landing on it, and then exploring on foot is unique and incredibly memorable. This was a bucket list item that exceeded my expectations. We followed a river of water on the glacier to a waterfall down a moulin over 1000ft deep. Best afternoon ever.

This was an AMAZING trip!!! I am so thankful I did this! The staff were all very kind, and made sure that we knew all the safety steps before getting in the helicopter. The pilot was helpful! He took photos for us, and was a bad ass driving that thing!!
