geepmaley Posted May 8, 2023 #1 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Lots of "we did such and such" but not seeing specifics on companies used? Heard a bunch of what you fid on the internet is broker driven vs actual providers, so thought Id ask here. We will be in Juneau on Sep 13> interested in helicopter/Mendenhall trek/walk options.. Not intersected in ice climbing Thanks so much in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Aurora Posted May 8, 2023 #2 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Goggle Temsco Helicopters. At least in the past they have offered tours to Mendenhall out of Juneau. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SightCRR Posted May 8, 2023 #3 Share Posted May 8, 2023 I have had very good experiences with Costal in Juneau. My first thought was that 13 Sept is pretty late in the season and not sure that helos would be available. I would be making some calls now and remember that Juneau is in different time zone from Seattle. sightcrr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DogLover Posted May 9, 2023 #4 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Several years ago (pre-Covid) I did a tour (booked directly) with Coastal Helicopters in Juneau, including transportation to and from the pier. Excellent, safe and would highly recommend. Check them out and enjoy your cruise. https://coastalhelicopters.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ermedchyc29 Posted May 10, 2023 #5 Share Posted May 10, 2023 (edited) We are booked with NorthStar Helicopters for a tour in Juneau in June. It includes the helicopter ride and 2 hours hike on the glacier. They got great reviews. When I called to book, they answered all my questions and were great on the phone! www.northstartrekking.com Good luck!

Rare Coral Posted May 10, 2023 #6 Share Posted May 10, 2023 (edited) FYI - there will be little snow on the mountains in September. Not sure if you will find helicopter rides at that time. Edited May 10, 2023 by Coral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are going on the Helicopter Glacier Trek. I asked the person on the phone the difference between the 1 hour vs 2 hour time frame on the glacier and its just that, longer time frame to walk on explore the glacier. There is no ice climbing, or trekking to remote places. Their website is great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular trek is not available for our dates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
