Glacier National Park Helicopter Tour Reviews

Get a Birds Eye View of Glacier National Park

Hitching a ride with a Glacier National Park helicopter tour is the perfect way to see the whole park from a bird’s eye view.

You get to see parts of Glacier that no one has ever stepped foot in before. It’s like getting VIP access to one of nature’s most gorgeous playgrounds.

Glacier National Park helicopter tours are also perfect for folks who don’t have the ability to hike. For the elderly and those in wheelchairs, a heli-tour might be the only way to experience the beauty of Glacier.

It can be expensive to go on these tours, but the thrill from the ride and the sights to be seen more than make up for the steep price.

There are several helicopter touring companies that service Glacier visitors. The prices and services vary, so it’s best to do your homework before making reservations with a helicopter tour outfit.

There’s nothing like getting a bird’s eye view of Glacier National Park on a heli-tour–the photos are unbelievable and the memories unforgettable.

Here are my choices on the top 3 heli touring companies. Please note: I have not been paid nor am I receiving any compensation for these reviews. It’s just my experience, research and knowledge of the companies.

Glacier Heli Tours Review

Glacier Heli Tours are operated by Minuteman Aviation, Inc., a company that’s been running strong for more than 40 years. They offer “the experience of a lifetime” with their helicopter tours of Glacier National Park. There are two options available with this outfit: the half hour tour and full hour tour.

Half Hour Tour

This 30-minute jaunt offers an incomplete-but-gorgeous look at the park, with plenty of photo ops of glaciers and lakes as it flies a cross-section route through GNP.

One Hour Tour

The full Glacier Heli Tours experience starts off by cruising along the eastern side of the Continental Divide, all the way up to border of Canada. Then it heads back down on the other side of the Divide and back to West Glacier.

The Continental Divide is pretty epic and so is this tour.

• Half Hour Tour — 1 Passenger: $500/person, 2 Passengers: $250/person, 3 Passengers $167/person, 4/5/6 Passengers: $125/person
• One Hour Tour — 1 Passenger: $1,000/person, 2 Passengers: $500/person, 3 Passengers: $333/person, 4/5/6 Passengers: $250/person

Pros of Glacier Heli Tours

• Headsets provided for listening to classical music and pilot narrations
• Single-passenger tours available
• Choice of helicopters: Jet Ranger (4 passengers) and Long Ranger (6 passengers)
• Full refund with cancellation 24 hours in advance

Cons of Glacier Heli Tours

• None to my eye!

Glacier Heli Tours offers a variety of packages for single passengers and whole families to experience the sights of GNP.

Kruger Helicop-Tours Review

Kruger Helicop-Tours is one of the best outfits in the business, and they have the history to prove it. They’ve been offering their services for more than 30 years and have been flying for the Park Service in GNP for 24 years. Aside from giving visitors an unforgettable bird’s eye view of Glacier, Kruger has also participated in over 100 mountain and river rescues. This is a company with a conscience, and their tours are just as “magnificent,” “amazing” and “awesome” as all of their testimonials suggest.

Like Glacier Heli Tours, Kruger offers two different tours: half hour and one hour.

This 30-minute tour takes passengers above five active glaciers: Harrison, Pumpbelly, Blackfoot, Jackson, and Sperry. You’ll get to see Flathead River, Beaver Chief Falls, and plenty of towering peaks.

The one hour tour includes the viewing of 13 more glaciers and takes you up past the Canadian border and into Waterton National Park. One of the highlights of the expanded tour is passing over Iceberg Lake at just 2,000 feet in the air.

• Half Hour Tour — 1 Passenger: $470/person, 2 Passengers: $235/person, 3 Passengers: $155/person, 4 Passengers: $120/person
• One Hour Tour — 1 Passenger: $940/person, 2 Passengers: $470/person, 3 Passengers: $310/person, 4 Passengers: $235/person

Pros of Kruger Helicop-Tours

• Highest safety record of local helicopter tour outfits
• Super friendly and knowledgeable tour guide pilots
• Return guests entitled to 5% discount
• Longest-running scenic flight company in business

Cons of Kruger Helicop-Tours

• No tours of more than 4 passengers
• Very popular and often fully booked

Kruger is definitely one of the best in the business, but since that’s a well-known fact, they’re often too busy to fit you in. If you want to be guided by Kruger experts, be sure to make your reservations way, way, way in advance to get a seat.

Triple Creek Ranch Helicopter Tours Review

If a half hour or hour tour just isn’t enough for you, check out the Triple Creek Ranch’s Helicopter Tours. These are five-hour marathon tours that give you an unprecedented and truly comprehensive view of Glacier in all its glory.

The tour begins at the ranch’s helipad in Elk Meadows and charts north along the Bitterroot Mountains. You’ll head over downtown Missoula and on into the Rattlesnake Wilderness Area. On the way back, you’ll stop for snacks in Kalispell and then head along the western shore of Flathead Lake and through the National Bison Range.

Triple Creek Ranch offers a variety of amenities along with helicopter tours, including cottages for the night, horseback riding, and gourmet meals. But it’s the tour that’s the real draw, giving you a full look at Glacier that lasts an whole magical day.

The 5-hour tour costs a flat rate of $5,500, servicing up to 4 passengers

Pros of Triple Creek Ranch Helicopter Tours

• Comprehensive tour of Glacier, Flathead Lake, Rattlesnake Wilderness Area and more!
• Triple Creek offer accommodations starting at $950 a night per couple (which includes meals and on-ranch activities)

Cons of Triple Creek Ranch Helicopter Tours

• No shorter tours
• Expensive outing

It may be expensive, but Triple Creek Ranch Helicopter Tours simply cannot be beat for their comprehensive views of one of the most gorgeous places on earth.

Seeing Glacier National Park by helicopter is an unforgettable experience. Whether you just want a quick, 30-minute jaunt or a day-long, 5-hour tour, these three outfits will show you a side of Glacier that you’ve never been able to see before.

View Glacier Country From Above

Take to the skies in Big Sky Country—the view here is scenic no matter where you are, but from above it’s a whole different kind of breathtaking. Witness the expanse of land dotted with high, backcountry glacial lakes (ones you’d otherwise spend a day hiking to in order to get a glimpse of), or the grizzly bear in the mountain meadow, plus herds of elk, deer and antelope. An aerial adventure allows you to take in the totality of Western Montana’s jaw-dropping terrain and experience a view you’ll not soon forget. Many companies in Glacier Country offer scenic flights and aerial tours—even hot air balloon rides—with professional, experienced pilots. Consider adding a view from above to your Montana itinerary.

When there are wildfires, here are a few things to keep in mind: You’re safe. Most wildland fires, when they happen, are in the back country, miles from civilization and any structures. Montana is home to 3,443,038 acres of wilderness, and most fires happen there. If, by chance, a wildland fire gets close to a community, our firefighting experts communicate, evacuate and communicate some more.

What is the future of helicopter tours in Glacier National Park?

WEST GLACIER — A new plan will manage how helicopter tours are conducted over Glacier National Park in the coming years that will fulfill an objective outlined in the General Management Plan approved more than 20 years ago.

During a recent online meeting, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the National Park Service (NPS) explained Glacier's Draft Air Tour Management Plan as a means of allowing existing tours to continue, but with controls that haven't been in place.

"The preservation of natural sounds and the protection of cultural and natural resources, wilderness character, and preserving visitor experience are a priority," explained Glacier National Park Acting Superintendent Pete Webster.

"It protects the resources in the park by specifically putting some restrictions on certain activities. It restricts hovering. It restricts flights to one hour after sunrise," noted Glacier Nation Park spokeswoman Gina Kerzman. The rules will also be in effect for one hour before sunset.

Under the interim operating authority, the Park's control of the air tours had been fairly limited, including which routes were flown. In the past, some would fly north to Canada but now, the tours will be kept at a minimum of 2,600 feet above ground level, in a pair of loops on the west side.

"One of the other parts of the plan is that it removes the northern route that the air tour operators have been flying. It crossed the Divide and all the major valleys in the northern part of the park. Removing this route would provide greater protection for wildlife and recommended wilderness in that portion of the park." - Glacier Nation Park spokeswoman Gina Kerzman

There are only three operators still holding permits to fly tours, using a combination of aircraft and the draft plan calls for not adding any new operators in the years to come.

There had been as many as five tour operators at the start of this year and the three-year average of flights over the park has dropped to 144-flights per year, excluding the companies that withdrew. So that will be the limit for the remaining operators. Additionally, no new operators will be licensed to fly over Glacier.

"So the plan includes a provision that once an air tour operator sells or goes out of business, their operating authority then expires and it is non-transferable. So long term the goal is to eliminate air tours in Glacier National Park," Kerzman explained.

That's in keeping with the objectives of the 1999 General Management Plan, which called for the eventual elimination of air tours.

"The objective is that the current operators that are in operation at this time can continue operating, but under a stricter plan and then eventually phasing out air tours over Glacier National Park completely," Kerzman told MTN News.

The public comment period is closed with the FAA and the NPS continuing to work on the plan.
