Which glacier tour is best?

[ascho]

Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations for glacier tours?  Is it worthwhile going on a helicopter excursion and if so, to which Glacier and from which port?

Which ports will you be in?

All the usuals from Seward to Vancouver on Celebrity

I like Northstarr Trekking out of Juneau as they offer three different Helicopter tours with progressively more time on the glacier.  I think Temsco offers one with two separate stops as well.  Honestly though, ANY glacier helicopter tour is likely better than none!

NorthStar looks fantastic.  I tried to book the extended trekking experience but it is sold out.  They do have the glacier trek available but now I feel like I have to get an experience like the extended trek.  I wrote to then and will wait for their response.  Thanks for the tip!  Btw, Temsco seems very tame in comparison

Talking to NorthStar direct, they offered me options that were sold out on their website. Their phone number 907-790-4530 or toll free at 866-590-4530.

Explain? tame???

If I read it correctly, it looks like a 20 minute glacier walk as opposed to the treks from Northstar
