I visited Denali National Park doing everything available in the area. My biggest highlight by far was taking a flight with Era. the pilots were fantastic, the scenery was absolutely unbelievable and the value was great. I went in early fall (early August in AK) and the landscape ranged from purple to red and beyond. Once we landed on the... More

Booked this tour using the Alaska Toursaver book, buy one, get one coupon. This tour more than paid for the cost of the coupon book. The operation is professional, organized and safe. It is not cheap... $290/person...but the coupon sure helped. I can restate what everyone else has said, but in one word...breathtaking. If you are ever going to go... More

Never been in copter before and these guys have glass bottoms so I have to admit there was some trepidation as a first timer. Scenery is simply too beautiful to get preoccupied with the fear. We landed on Taku Glacier next to a deep blue 100 crevasse and walked the glacier. You simply cannot understand the mass of these glaciers... More

We took the era helicopters tour in Denali and were very impressed. Our tour included glacier landing and lasted for ~1.5 hrs. We booked it through the toursaver and when we called to confirm before 24hrs they said they didn't have anyone onboard yet for tht time, so it might get cancelled. They told us they would reconfirm the next... More

We booked this excursion using the Alaska toursaver coupon , 2 for the price of 1, this trip alone more than recover the money I spent on the book. It was raining in the morning, my trip was postponed to afternoon. Luckily, the weather improved. Sun came out when we landed on the taku glacier. The flight was amazing, the... More

My family and I had an incredible flight to a glacier (unfortunately I can't remember the name!) this August. The staff at Era was so nice, from the man who picked us up at the lodge, to the people in the office who took our weights, helped us with our boots and gave us our safety lecture. My daughter and...

We booked the helicopter and dogsledding trip via the cruise line and it was very expensive but certainly a fantastic experience. We were lucky to have beautiful weather and you could see for literally miles. On landing The sight and sounds of all of the dogs attached to their kennels was slightly surreal. The guides were knowledgable and happy to... More

My husband and I made our reservations for this excursion through the cruise ship. We were very excited about doing this although it was definitely pricey. We were doing this primarily for the helicopter tour of the glaciers and the dog sled experience, since we had previously walked on a glacier in the Canadian Rockies. I am not a big... More

We went on our first ever cruise, and Alaska seemed the perfect place as its not too easy to navigate by land or air and you would not see so much. Booking excursions was something we felt we had to do to make the most of this amazing place, and although this trip was expensive it was a MUST DO... More
