We took the 30 minute trip. The staff were professional and friendly. I felt safe with the pilot. The views from the air were stunning. Walking on the glacier and just experiencing the beauty of the mountains was spectacular.
FYI, we got rained out our first day, but they were very good at keeping us advised on other options and fit us in early the next morning.
