My husband and I enjoyed a truly spectacular ride over the mountains, lakes and rivers of Flathead and Glacier National Park. Gary explained everything and was quite entertaining! We hope to bring our children next time!

Such a wonderful way to see the park. Comfortable, safe, and smooth flight. Pilot was very informative of all the geographical locations in the area. Well worth the money for the rare experience and views. I highly suggest if you're reading this to experience this opportunity! 5 stars isn't enough to rate this memory or this company.

This is an adventure you will remember forever. The pilots, Jim and Gary, are very calm and professional and take you on an amazing route (in the 1-hour tour) over Hungry Horse Reservoir, then over the peaks and lakes in the southern, middle, and northwestern parts of Glacier National Park. I am very nervous about heights, but Jim the pilot's calm demeanor allowed me to relax and enjoy my first helicopter ride! BOOK THIS TRIP TODAY!! You'll be transported figuratively and literally.

First time doing a helicopter tour and we had a great time. Pilot was extremely knowledgeable and views were amazing. We did the half hour tour, which was the perfect amount of time to take in the view and get some great photos. Would definitely consider doing an hour tour next time we’re in Whitefish. All around great experience and would highly recommend to anyone who wants an unbelievable view of the Flathead Valley and West Glacier area.

We had a great time! Gary was able to accommodate our large group and took us on a beautiful ride around Great Northern Mountain.

One of the peak experiences you can have in Montana. Great pilots, jawdropping scenery, and the ground crew even watched my dog during the flight! I took the 1-hour tour even though it was a stretch for my budget, and I'm afraid of heights to boot, and it was totally worth it. The pilot is calm and the views of Glacier are beyond words. BOOK THIS DANNO!

Julie House | Trip Advisor Review | 2020
for Kalispell, Montana
What an awesome way to see Glacier National Park, and because of the altitude you see much more off in the distance. Our pilot/guide (Gary) did a fantastic job of pointing out different places as we went by; at times rotating or circling so back seat passengers got the full view as well. I just don't think there is a better way you could see the numerous glaciers you get up close to with this tour!! We did the 1 hour tour which covered about a 100 mile path. Imagine seeing all that we saw of the park, and some surrounding areas, in just 1 hour. A helicopter ride is one thing, this is so much more. Can you tell Gary's a fun pilot to ride with :)
Robert Smith | Trip Advisor Review | 2020

We had a very phenomenal experience. As someone who worked on helicopters in the military, I can say that the quality of the helicopter itself, as well as Gary’s flying, was absolutely exceptional. We felt safe and well taken care of. If you want to see gorgeous mountain peaks, glaciers, waterfalls and more, this is a “must do.” I recommend the full hour. We are so glad we found and went with Glacier Aviation!

We had the best time! We had driven Glacier park the day before & this ride was the cherry on top. We were greeted and guided to the copter without hesitation. Great directions and customer service from booking thru to escorting us to safety when the ride ended Which was superb!! Our pilot was a great tour guide filled with so much information, the ride was smooth & breathtaking views everywhere you looked! Highly recommend this company for your trip!!! Celebrating a birthday & this bucket list item is checked with high regards!

Since the east side of the park was closed, we decided to improvise to see a few glaciers. Needless to say it was a little easier than a hike! Gary and Doug were absolutely outstanding in getting us off the ground and to spectacular views of the mountains and two beautiful glaciers. Professionalism, friendliness and great knowledge of the area was exhibited at all times and the most important thing is WE HAD A BLAST! Would give 6 stars if I could.

My wife and I booked a 1-hour flight with Gary and were totally awestruck at the beauty we were blessed to witness. Gary’s helicopter is state-of-the-art, with excellent visibility for all passengers. Gary showed us more country in 1 hour than we could have seen in a week of driving/hiking. I highly recommend Glacier Aviation Services, and the 1-hour tour. There is so much to take in in NW Montana, so don’t sell yourselves short!

Experiencing the clear blue alpine lakes and snow-covered peaks are some of my favorite views, seeing them speckle the landscape was a life long dream.
I recommend booking a flight through Glacier Aviation Services

Glacier Park is a magnificent piece of creation and is beautiful by car or foot but it pales to the views from above. A helicopter trip is the best way to see the park and surrounding areas. Glacier Aviation Services is the best choice to see all the natural beauty that the park provides. Jim, the pilot, Doug and the rest of the crew make the experience a joy. If or when we come back here to Glacier, we will definitely take another flight with this team. Thanks to all of you for making our anniversary special.

We fly state-of-the art Helicopters and Airplanes!
We operate the MD 520 Notar which is our state-of-the-art, eco-friendly helicopter and we also operate the Cessna 207. The Cessna 207 seats up to 7 passengers and the MD520 seats up to 4 passengers.
We specialize in perfecting the aerial tour adventure. As aerial film specialists, we know the places, times and that special light that creates those jaw-dropping aerial scenes on TV. So when we create the perfect aerial tour we head for those places that others don't go. We fly the latest model and most advanced technology helicopter in the region.

What a wonderful experience for my first helicopter 🚁 flight over the mountains, glaciers, lakes and rivers of Montana. Thank you Gary & Doug for going out of your way to make it special.

This tour was a fun and unique way to see the spectacular scenery of Glacier Park and the surrounding area! The ride was calm and safe, and the pilot shared plenty of interesting info about what we were seeing out the window. Highly recommend!

Favorite part was the birds-eye view of the glaciers and the knowledge of the topography of the mountains! My boys loved the perspective of the heli to what they have been hiking! It gave them a deeper appreciation of the park! Best money I have spent on trip! The pilot had a great knowledge of the area!

Glacier Park is a magnificent piece of creation and is beautiful by car or foot but it pales to the views from above. A helicopter trip is the best way to see the park and surrounding areas. Glacier Aviation Services is the best choice to see all the natural beauty that the park provides. Jim, the pilot, Doug and the rest of the crew make the experience a joy. If or when we come back here to Glacier, we will definitely take another flight with this team. Thanks to all of you for making our anniversary special.

What a beautiful adventure. Our tour over Glacier National Park was exquisite. The half-hour flight was definitely worth the money, we definitely will be back to go on the hour flight.
Experiencing the clear blue alpine lakes and snow-covered peaks are some of my favorite views, seeing them speckle the landscape was a life long dream.
I recommend booking a flight through Glacier Aviation Services

Loved the Helicopter tour. Great way to see Flathead Valley and our Beautiful Glacier Park. Very convenient to leave from Whitefish Airport. Gary is a great safe pilot. The ride was so smooth, and he was so knowledgeable about the views. Thanks, Gary for the Awesome ride.

What an awesome way to see Glacier National Park, and because of the altitude you see much more off in the distance. Our pilot/guide (Gary) did a fantastic job of pointing out different places as we went by; at times rotating or circling so back seat passengers got the full view as well. I just don't think there is a better way you could see the numerous glaciers you get up close to with this tour!! We did the 1 hour tour which covered about a 100 mile path. Imagine seeing all that we saw of the park, and some surrounding areas, in just 1 hour. A helicopter ride is one thing, this is so much more. Can you tell Gary's a fun pilot to ride with :)

The helicopter itself was so cool! The front windows gave you full view top to below your feet giving you the ability to take amazing photos and get the full experience. The pilot was friendly and so knowledgeable! He explained the names of the peaks, mtn ranges, cities and water below! The ride was smooth, beautiful, and felt very safe! It coolest birthday present I’ve ever received!

We had a great time flying with Gary in his well-maintained aircraft. Gary had plenty of knowledge to share about the area and made our experience a great one. I’d love to get back up in the air with him in the future.

Such a wonderful way to see the park. Comfortable, safe, and smooth flight. Pilot was very informative of all the geographical locations in the area. Well worth the money for the rare experience and views. I highly suggest if you're reading this to experience this opportunity! 5 stars isn't enough to rate this memory or this company.

Since the east side of the park was closed, we decided to improvise to see a few glaciers. Needless to say it was a little easier than a hike! Gary and Doug were absolutely outstanding in getting us off the ground and to spectacular views of the mountains and two beautiful glaciers. Professionalism, friendliness and great knowledge of the area was exhibited at all times and the most important thing is WE HAD A BLAST! Would give 6 stars if I could.

We had a fantastic flight with Gary this past weekend. Low clouds kept us from going high, but it was still a lot of fun seeing our local area from an aerial perspective - even my 84yr old mom had a great time. We hope to do it again sometime!

My husband and I enjoyed a truly spectacular ride over the mountains, lakes and rivers of Flathead and Glacier National Park. Gary explained everything and was quite entertaining! We hope to bring our children next time!

We had a great time! Gary was able to accommodate our large group and took us on a beautiful ride around Great Northern Mountain. The views were fantastic, the helicopter was smooth and quiet, and Gary was a fun tour guide. We'd highly recommend this experience for anyone looking to see parts of the park not easily accessed by trail, or looking for an adventure a bit outside the usual.

What a great addition to our trip! Gary is a fantastic pilot with great equipment, and knows the area well. The hour trip was well worth the money. We definitely will be coming back in the future!
