I bought 2 yesterday and booked for DH and I. We are SO excited because we wanted to do a flight seeing excursion but couldn't quite swallow paying full price. Three cheers for Groupon!

I am guessing this is a new company? I do not recall hearing of them before. Anyone know for sure?

Relatively new here on these boards, Mary. I think it was AKSusan or one of the locals who alerted me to this. I've signed up for Anchorage, Seattle, and for where I live. Its kind of fun getting these alerts every day, plus I got a 2 for 1 deal on the Reindeer Farm in Palmer for our excursion in Anchorage this year. Lots of great deals they are running for Anchorage area - just have to keep your eyes open and be sure to read the fine print about exclusions and regulations.

The groupon description mentions using a Pollux Aviation helicopter, the same company that had a crash last summer. I don't think it was determined exactly who/what was at fault, but flying in poor weather conditions certainly couldn't have helped. Stay safe, those who got in on this deal!

We changed our plans a little so we could make use of this Groupon. We were booked to do a helicopter/dogsled tour out of Girdwood July 2nd, but to save $209 pp we changed to do this one out of Seward on July 8th. Now we have a little more free time to explore on July 2nd! ( and a little more $$ to spend!! ) :D
