Victoria was an excellent pilot. The helicopter ride over the glaciers was breathtaking and the landing inside the mountain valley to hike to the waterfall was easy and fun. Great experience!

We were welcomed friendly, and Evan, the pilot, gave us a wonderful experience with a glass of champagne to boot. We enjoyed it! Highly recommended

The Guide was really nice. He explained us facts about the area and brought us to a beautiful lake in the mountains for a short hike.

Absolutely beautiful and had so much fun! 100% worth it
