Great morning
Tour was amazing. Guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Great way in the morning to see the glacier and the sound

Amazing trip with Prince William Sound and Dog Sledding.
We, family of 3 had opted for Prince William sound with Glacier Landing and followed by Dog Sledding trip with Alpine air alaska. Thanks to nature. Weather permitted us for Prince William sound trip as their cancellation was high. But Alpine air alaska team advised us to be prepared to opt for alternative Glacier landing. Fortunately, weather was very nice. We flew to Prince William Sound and we saw Bears with 2 Cubs, Mountain Goats and Moose Swimming in pond. Our Guide Greg made fantastic landing on Glacier and gave us 30 min. We requested Greg for additional 10 min, which he agreed too. My kid was enjoying clean turquoise water. Entire trip was simply super. I would strongly recommend to take Ultimate tour that covers both Glacier Landing and Dog Sledding.
Response from the operator: Glad you got to see wildlife on your tour and got to have such a unique experience in the sound!

Unforgettable experience
I booked this tour as a once in a lifetime opportunity, but I was mistaken. It was so amazing I WILL do it again! Everyone one that I interacted with was amazing and kind and friendly. They were also very knowledgeable. If you get a chance to do this tour, I highly recommend it.
Response from the operator: Thank you for the kind words! We are so happy you enjoyed your tour and look forward to seeing you again.

This was one of the most...
This was one of the most bad ass things we did on our entire trip to Alaska. I would do it again in a heartbeat!
Response from the operator: Thank you for the review and kind words. Alaska is truly one of a kind! We're so glad you enjoyed it as much as we do. Hope to see you again!

I will never forget this tour
A fantastic experience. We waited for the weather to lift all week long so we could utilize the helicopter for a great experience the communication was great all week long and we made it we had a wonderful ride ride with Hutch. He gave us great service for tours longer than expected and we saw animals as well as landed twice versus once. The best company ever
Response from the operator: Thank you for the kind words! We are thrilled to hear you had a blast enjoying our beautiful glacier views with Hutch. Hope you had an amazing rest of your trip! Cheers, Camille

Why this scores 68
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Anchorage Prince William Sound Heli Tour with Glacier Landing: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Anchorage.
How much does Anchorage Prince William Sound Heli Tour with Glacier Landing cost?
+
Prices start at $769 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Anchorage usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Anchorage Prince William Sound Heli Tour with Glacier Landing take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Anchorage is not rushed.
Is Anchorage Prince William Sound Heli Tour with Glacier Landing worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 64 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Anchorage, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Anchorage Prince William Sound Heli Tour with Glacier Landing?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Anchorage Prince William Sound Heli Tour with Glacier Landing suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Anchorage Prince William Sound Heli Tour with Glacier Landing?
+
Around 22 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Anchorage can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Anchorage and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Anchorage Prince William Sound Heli Tour with Glacier Landing start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Anchorage within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Anchorage?
+
Anchorage is the staging point for glacier cruises out of Whittier and Seward, Denali flightseeing, wildlife conservation centre visits, dog sledding and northern lights chases in winter. Long transfer times make itinerary honesty essential. On Outty we rank every Anchorage experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include PRISTINE - Wilderness, Wildlife, Glacier Experience in Anchorage, Anchorage Trolley's Deluxe City Tour, Anchorage Trolley's 1-Hour City Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Anchorage?
+
June to August for glaciers, September to March for aurora. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Anchorage?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
