Creator's Key Takeaways
It was the most pure, the most refreshing, the coldest water I've ever tasted in my life.
This is something that I will never forget. This is something that Davis and I will share together as a memory for the rest of our lives.
If you are thinking about or on the fence about taking a helicopter tour up to the glacier, you absolutely need to do it.

Juneau Icefield Helicopter Tour | Landing on Herbert Glacier We flew to the Juneau Icefield with Coastal Helicopters, landed on Herbert Glacier, walked the ice, and even tasted glacier water. It was Davis’s first helicopter ride and a true father–son bucket-list day. There’s also an unexpected moment mid-tour that the crew handled calmly—and we ended up with bonus time on the glacier. QUICK ANSWERS • Operator: Coastal Helicopters (pickup near the Goldbelt Tram) • Our price: $870 for two (standard rate; varies by weight class/date) • Duration: ~2–3 hrs door-to-door; ~25–30 min flightseeing; ~20–25 min on-ice • On-ice feel: otherworldly, quiet, typically 15–20°F cooler than downtown; traction over-boots provided • Good to know: seating by weight & balance; follow your guide on marked paths WHAT YOU’LL SEE IN THIS VIDEO • Pickup → safety briefing → glacier boots • First helicopter ride nerves → excitement • Flying the Juneau Icefield & landing on Herbert Glacier • Drinking glacier water (and why the ice looks neon-blue) • A brief mid-tour surprise and extra time on the ice • Our take: who this tour is perfect for WHAT TO BRING Layers, closed-toe shoes, light gloves, sunglasses (glare is real), and a phone wrist strap. Glacier surfaces change quickly—always follow your guide.
