My husband and I chose the Level 2 glacier tour and absolutely loved it! The company provided all of the necessary gear (shoes, jackets, helmets, water, etc.) and gave a safety briefing. The helicopter ride was very smooth and really enjoyable. We saw the most amazing views of Juneau, the icefield, waterfalls, and mountains. Once we arrived on the glacier,... more

We chose the three hour glacier trek through our cruise ship. We were wondering if it would be worth the money ($500 each) and if there would be enough to do on the glacier for 3 hours. Well, it was worth every penny and the time just flew by! This was a top 10 life experience. I hate to fly... more

Outstanding -- Experience cannot be missed; the entire event (arrival, helicoptor ride, two-hor hike) on the Glacier was worth every penny! The staff is 1st class and they do a great job in taking care of you -- of course the star is the glacier hike and experience. We had Amanda as our guide and she was wonderful and very... more

We just got back from an Alaskan cruise and did the Level 3 trek with NorthStar trekking and it was amazing - and while expensive - was well worth the money. You start off with a short helicopter tour, which was great in and of it self, but then when you land on the glacier, it's a whole other tour.... more

By far the most expensive excursion, but I would do it again in a heartbeat. I just did the excursion with my boyfriend. We are in our mid 20's, and we did the two hour glacier walk, it was the middle package. If I could go back I would probably have bought the 3 hour trek since you got to... more

My husband and I signed up for the Extended helicopter trekking tour (3hours on the Mendenhall Glacier). It was such an awesome experience and highly recommended! Definitely worth the money! Northstar is definitely an exceptional company! All the ground staff were super friendly and took extra care to gear us up. We were well equipped with a backpack with snacks... more

This was by far the most expensive single activity that my wife and I did on our Alaskan vacation. And it was worth every penny. NorthStar provided transportation to and from the cruise ship at the docks. When we arrived at the company's location at the airport, we received proper attire to wear on the glacier. The staff was very... more
