Awesome Coastal!!
Very organized, great communication and outstanding service. From the pier all the way to the airport a first class treatment. The crew told me that if it rains the ride goes on, the only time they cancel is if there are strong winds or the cloud cover is low. Meeting point is where the Juneau Tram station is as you get off the ship. It’s a red building with the tram facility and cables. They will be behind the building in very bright orange shirts. Look for these!! They will take you to Herbert Glacier not Mendenhall but it’s best to do that because when you land in the glacier there will not be anyone else with you. You are alone with your pilot and chopper. You fly over Mendenhall and you will see it from the chopper anyway. Outstanding experience. Will do it again without a second thought!!!

Experience Juneau Icefield on Private Helicopter Expedition: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Juneau.
How much does Experience Juneau Icefield on Private Helicopter Expedition cost?
+
Prices start at $3,543 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Juneau usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Experience Juneau Icefield on Private Helicopter Expedition take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 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 Juneau is not rushed.
Is Experience Juneau Icefield on Private Helicopter Expedition worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 38 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Juneau, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Experience Juneau Icefield on Private Helicopter Expedition?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Experience Juneau Icefield on Private Helicopter Expedition suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Experience Juneau Icefield on Private Helicopter Expedition?
+
Around 0 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 Juneau 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 Juneau and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Experience Juneau Icefield on Private Helicopter Expedition 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 Juneau 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 Juneau?
+
Juneau runs Mendenhall Glacier trips, whale watching in Auke Bay, helicopter glacier landings with dog sledding, and rainforest hikes. Most tours are timed to cruise ship windows, so we weight clear duration and pickup detail. On Outty we rank every Juneau experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Juneau Wildlife Whale Watching, Juneau Wildlife Whale Watching & Mendenhall Glacier, Whales and Wilderness Exploration. 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 Juneau?
+
May to September, peaking for humpbacks in June and July. 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 Juneau?
+
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.
