An absolutely amazing experience. Although not cheap - highly recommended. Everyone had a window seat. The scenery was unbelievably breathtaking. Great communication from booking through to flight. Would love to do it all again.

tony_s, Aug 2023
The clearer skies than we had been privy too due to the smoke running up to the trip and having the plane all to ourselves!

Spectacular views and flight....
Demetrios_S, Aug 2023
We took off on a somewhat windy day and the pilot forewarned us that it might be a little rough on takeoff and in the air. Even with that bit of trepidation, the flight and experience were fantastic. We were close enough to the mountain tops and ground below that it was literally like you could reach out and touch them. The views are spectacular and worth every minute of the flight! Would definitely do it again....and at the end of the day the turbulence was not nearly as bad as we all initially thought...including my girlfriend who was petrified. Great time and experience!

Soaring above the mountains
Michele_G, Aug 2023
Very unique experience with family soaring above the mountains. Very smooth take off and landing on the water. The views of the glaciers were spectacular. Would highly recommend it.
Response from Host, Aug 2023

Such an amazing experience!!
Sara_K, Aug 2023
Absolutely perfect! The views were draw-dropping, and not able to be seen in any other context. And the tour is the perfect amount of time- just long enough to really let the landscape set in, but not over the top or anything. The experience will stick with you!
Response from Host, Aug 2023
Sara, we're so pleased to hear you enjoyed the experience and appreciate your feedback about our timing. Hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back aboard soon! - Harbour Air Team

Kevin_O, Aug 2023
Other than getting incredibly motion sick (and one of us never gets motion sick), this was SUCH a cool experience. Breathtaking views that have you marveling at the beauty around us. Totally recommend! Would post pictures, but you’ll have to see for yourself. :)

Gorgeous… highly recommended 🤩
Ralf_S, Jul 2023
It was a gorgeous experience 🤩🤩. Thank you very much to the pilot who did a great job. Also explaining everything. Also, it was so great to get last minute “jump-in seat” for my wife - she was first scared, then convinced by the ground personnel to join me for that flight👋

Big thumb down
Shane_H, Jul 2023
Awful experience having travel so far and arrived at our destination just before take off and the staff did nothing. Absolutely nothing. Won’t be using this site ever again
Response from Host, Aug 2023
Shane, we understand the disappointment of not being accommodated on your scenic flight, however passengers must arrive for check-in prior to the check-in cut off time indicated on your confirmation email. Regrettably, due to our schedule, we are unable to delay our aircraft for late arrivals. If you believe that this information was unclear at the time of booking, please connect with Viator's Customer Care team. - Harbour Air Team
Lovely Sightseeing Opportunity
