What Past Customers are saying
“The adventure of a lifetime”
“My husband and I used Outbound Heli for our glacier elopement and truly had the adventure of a lifetime. From our very first conversation to the final goodbyes after we returned from our tour, their team was incredibly attentive, personable, and didn’t overlook a single detail.
It was the most special day ever, and Outbound Heli played such a huge role in making it that way. We cannot recommend them enough!”

“Exceeded every expectation”
“Our family had the absolute best experience with Outbound Heli! We were a group of 2 adults and 4 kids (ages 3–8), and it exceeded every expectation.
The entire experience was the perfect balance of informative and laid-back. We never felt rushed and truly got to soak in every moment. It was one of the most memorable experiences our family has ever had, and we’re so grateful to Cedric, Rigel, and the entire Outbound Heli team for giving us a once-in-a-lifetime adventure we’ll never forget.”
