Outbound Heli Adventure Reviews
My parents and I took the helicopter tour to the Knik glacier and it had to have been the highlight of their visit! We had an amazing experience and certainly made memories we will never forget. The views flying out to the glacier were breathtaking and our pilot was so knowledgeable and friendly, pointing things out along the way. We saw several moose too! We had plenty of time on the glacier to explore- drink the glacier water and even take the plunge into a glacial pool! Our pilot snapped plenty of incredible photos throughout the tour. This was a once in a lifetime experience, and I would reccomend Outbound Heli and the wonderful folks who operate it to anyone who wants the best of the best for their Alaskan adventure!

My husband and I recently eloped on a glacier with Outbound Heli Adventures. The whole experience was beyong our wildest dreams, with scenery that words cannot express. Thomas was our pilot and officiant. Besides being an awesome person in general, Thomas was extremely professional and ensured our utmost safety throughout the experience. The ceremony was really sweet and included a bit about the glaciers themselves, which felt really special. The rest of the staff that assisted us at the lodge also made the experience awesome. Completely recommend and will be saving up to do this again one day without the heavy wedding dress.

Absolutely insane experience, I'll never forget it. Our helicopter pilot, Shelby, was truly awesome. She saw that another helicopter tour was in the normal landing area, so she took us to a secret spot she had scouted in the middle of a crevasse field so we could have a private experience. We hiked among huge cracks in the ice filled with crystal blue water. It was breathtakingly beautiful, and the photos/videos blew everyone away.

This was an amazing experience! Shelby is an incredible pilot and her knowledge and skill made the day spectacular. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone considering it - I am glad we went with a smaller company because the service was excellent and it was a much more personal and intimate experience. I wanted to do it again as soon as we landed.

We did a heli ride with Shelby. She was amazing!! She was down for anything we wanted to do while also providing her expertise. The weather was not in our favor but she helped make the experience wonderful. She also officiated our elopement! We couldn't have asked for a better helicopter pilot. Overall great experience and elopement or not, outbound is a must for special views during a trip to AK.

I'm an elopement photographer, and my couple decided to take a helicopter tour for their Alaskan elopement. For all 3 of us, this was truly the best day of our lives. There is no better way to experience Alaska than from the air. Flying over miles of ice fields, landing on ridge lines overlooking hanging glaciers, exploring glacial lagoons, and seeing wildlife roaming the landscape - it was just unbelievably incredible.From the moment I first reached out to Outbound Heli about this excursion, they were SO kind, informative, and willing to answer all of our questions. On the day of, our pilot, Shelby, was incredible and truly did everything she could to give us the experience of a lifetime. I can't recommend Outbound Heli enough.

Amazing experience and the staff is well versed in the area. I accidently showed up on the wrong day (24 hrs prior) and Hailey gave me an amazing recommendation for a day long hike.Then I showed up for the heli tour today. Sweet ride, professional pilotage all while answering my questions about the glacier. Really enjoyed the hike and the ability to grab some bottles of glacier water. Our pilot Shelby ensures I got to see my first Moose on the mountain side just off the glacier.Thanks again OutboundHeli!

Amazing once in a lifetime experience! Staff was super friendly and knowledgeable, and we had plenty of time out on the glacier without feeling rushed. On the flight back, we saw tons of wildlife! We mentioned the animals we wanted to see, and the pilot immediately knew just where to take us. Highly highly recommend the Knik glacier landing tour.

We did paddle boarding in the knik glacier. It was one of a kind of an experience. It felt like we were in Pluto or something. They gave dry suits that protected us from the glacier ice.Also the ride to the glacier was amazing. The pilot was super friendly and made us very comfortable.The whole crew was so sweet, helpful and answering all our questions. Really nice people!

Me and my friends went for the knik glacier paddleboarding adventure. The guides and pilots were really helpful. It was really fun and we even raced in the lake with our paddleboards. Unfortunately, I lost my wallet during the trek and couldn’t find it the same day, Bridgette was really helpful during the process and search, even found it and informed us next day how it was stuck in the suit and I may have missed. She was really sweet and tried to keep us in a good mood throughout the process.

We had a very pleasant experience with outbound heli. Bridget was especially very cooperative and helpful during the entire booking and onboarding process. They did not even take any deposit from us until the day of our tour. The helicopter ride was fun and smooth. Paddle boarding location was perfect which had tunnels leading to a huge glacial pool in the end. Would highly recommend them!

Best adventure yet! Our first time in Alaska could not have been complete without this tour. We were so lucky to have Chris as our pilot!! He was wonderful- and even let me pick a spot to land for some really cool photos. Cannot say enough nice things about Chris as he was : pilot, officiant and more importantly- coat master!!! He even let me pick a spot to land to take some photos. We had the perfect elopement !! Thank you Chris and the whole OBH team!!

My wife and I found Outbound Heli Adventures while trying to find a company to use for pictures the day after our wedding. We looked at every possible company, and after talking to several of them, we could not be more glad that we chose Outbound. The entire team (and our pilot Thomas especially!) were amazing, gracious, helpful, and just a lot of fun! The views that Thomas took us to were beyond anything we could have ever imagined, and made our wedding photos something that we will never forget!!! Thank you so much!!!

We did glacier paddle boarding with Nick and it was definitely one of the best experiences we have ever had!! The glacier was beautiful and the route to the pond/small lake of water was fun to float through. The view was breathtaking all the way through 🩷 The helicopter ride was about 20min one way, but they took different routes in and out, which we really enjoyed. We even saw a bear on the way back! I highly recommend it!
