gpearce Posted May 8, 2004 #1 Share Posted May 8, 2004 We are thinking of taking the Coastal helicopter Icefield Excursion in Juneau. Has anyone taken this tour and if so is it good? It is a lot more reasonable from the ships tour and sounds like about the same trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Caroline Posted May 8, 2004 #2 Share Posted May 8, 2004 Coastal's tours are very good in Juneau,would recommend over ship's trip. Lots of people here on CC use Coastal.

Budget Queen Posted May 9, 2004 #3 Share Posted May 9, 2004 I have flown with Coastal 3 out of 6 of my helicopter trips. Highly recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyShap Posted May 13, 2004 #5 Share Posted May 13, 2004 We used Coastal last year and had a great visit to the Herbert Glacier outside Juneau. But, I thought the boots they provided didn't supply enough traction on the glacier ice. Maybe it was just me, but I found the footing so unsure that I was timid about wandering too far from the chopper. On the other hand, my 10 year old son roamed far and wide without incident. You might want to consider packing a pair of those ice grippers that install over your shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
