Awesome experience - you get to see some incredible views of the coastline and mountains as you take off and head up to the glaciers. We had a fun pilot called Matt who explained the history of the area and glaciers, and when we landed on the glacier he helped out by taking a few pictures! The whole trip was amazing, great views and would really recommend it.
Was great! Worth the price.
