    Things to know

    Seat weight limit is 300 lbs per person; total combined passenger-and-gear limit for the R44 is 650 lbs. If your group exceeds aircraft limits and needs multiple helicopters or a larger aircraft, an additional fee applies—confirm the amount with Greetwell before booking. In winter, landings may not be directly on the glacier surface due to snow depth.

    Cancellation Policy

    Cancel 24 hours after booking up to 7 days before departure: $500 fee. Cancel 7 days to 72 hours before: 50% refund. Cancel within 72 hours: no refund. Full refund if the operator cancels due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances.

    FAQs

    Plan for a 300 lb seat weight limit per person. The R44 has a 650 lb combined limit for all passengers plus gear. You’ll be weighed at check-in as part of the safety protocol, and seating may be assigned for weight and balance.

    Wear closed-toe, sturdy shoes with a flat sole (preferably waterproof) and dress in layers. Bring a waterproof/windproof outer layer; add warm base layers, hat, gloves, and sunglasses as needed since conditions can change.

    Yes, you or your photographer can bring a drone, but you must have an Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Part 107 drone license to operate it. Drone use is at the pilot’s discretion based on air traffic.

    With a perfect rating across hundreds of reviews, this helicopter tour operation delivers consistently exceptional glacier experiences. Guests rave about the Knik glacier flights with glacier landings that allow 30 minutes to explore and photograph the stunning blue ice. The pilots—particularly Evan, Logan, and Christine—receive enthusiastic praise for their smooth flying, knowledge of the terrain, and willingness to go the extra mile, like landing on icebergs or flying through canyons to spot wildlife. The staff, especially Carly and Caroline, make everyone feel comfortable and handle logistics seamlessly, including round-trip transport. The experience works beautifully for everything from standard sightseeing to special occasions like wedding elopements. Travelers appreciate the excellent communication, particularly regarding weather conditions, and note that the flights are surprisingly smooth even for those worried about motion sickness. Multiple international visitors specifically mention how welcoming and accommodating the team is. This consistently ranks as a top Alaska adventure and a genuine once-in-a-lifetime experience that's worth every penny.
