A MUST DO! UNREAL VIEWS. INCREDIBlE CUSTOMER SERVICE!
I was a solo traveller and was worried I had to pay for two passengers. I called them directly. The customer service was incredible and they managed to get me on a flight. From walking into the the building everyone was super welcoming. Everything was explained and we were off. The most breathtaking views. This is a must do when you are in the area. I can’t explain how knowledgeable the pilot is about the area and how friendly and safe they make you feel! Thank you Alpine helicopters from booking to the whole experience, you were fab! I would highly recommend your trip!

You haven’t seen the Rockies until you’ve flown Alpine!
Absolutely amazing value for money, great experiences crew. I’ve flown a lot with remote area fire fighting in Australia, but this was one of the best for sure!
