2forthemoney Posted February 16, 2006 #1 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Can anyone help with info on fishing tours or helicopter tours? We will be on the Summit, and from reading all the boards I would like to pre-schedule some of these tours since I'm reading that some can be sold out. Is this a wise idea? Or should I go through the ship? Thank you!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
number5858 Posted February 17, 2006 #2 Share Posted February 17, 2006 We used Coastal Helicopters at http://www.coastalhelicopters.com/ in Juneau. We booked the cruise very late, and all the ship's excursions were closed to booking, so we went independent with Coastal. They were excellent, and we really enjoyed landing on the glacier and walking around and taking pictures. We chose the Icefield Excursion. They have nice T-Shirts too. Bring a water bottle with you and you can get some clear glacier drinking water. It is also real nice that they refund your money if something goes wrong and the ship is later or the weather is bad.

Kate Roselund Posted February 17, 2006 #3 Share Posted February 17, 2006 We also used Coastal Helicopters...wonderful! Two years ago we used another company in Juneau, again wonderful! ERA or something like that. A fun thing to do on the way back to town from the airport is to have the van drop you off at the Alaskan Brewery. Free tastings, great t-shirts. When you get back to Juneau skip the bars with the crowds and head for the Alaskan Bar and Hotel...very funky with locals to chat with and some unbelievable wall decor. :eek: Sigh.....great memories!;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kate Roselund Posted February 17, 2006 #5 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Did you ever live in Massachusetts? Yes! My DH and family lived in West Boylston and after we got married we were there for about 5 years. Why??:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mii Posted February 17, 2006 #6 Share Posted February 17, 2006 If you go to the Ports of Call board and scroll down to Alaska there is a wealth of information there. It might help. Marilyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kate Roselund Posted February 19, 2006 #11 Share Posted February 19, 2006 It sure is! Now if I can only get on the Summit to Alaska the reunion would be complete... donations may be made to "Kate and Irene's reunion trip" c/o Oprah/Dr Phil/Montel/Kelly and Regis/Ellen Bill Gates ??

mii Posted February 19, 2006 #12 Share Posted February 19, 2006 See this board is not only finding out information about cruising but look at irene and Kate. I found each other after 30 years while answering the same thread. That is so neat. Although I feel sorry for the OP who started this thread. They want info on helicopter rides in Alaska but to their credit they re-joined friends after 30 years. Marilyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renebfl Posted February 20, 2006 #13 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Maybe we should mention this to Celebrity cruiseline and see if they will kick in a free cruise !! It actually was 1971 or 72 we last spoke,I had just graduated from High schol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
