I think you should definitely take the heli-hike if you can swing it! It was a bit pricey, but soaring over the glacier was absolutely worth it. Just be prepared for some weather changes, they can cancel flights last minute.
I recommend starting your day around 9 AM – that's when the crowds begin to build up. Getting to the glacier early lets you enjoy the scenery without all the noise and rush. Plus, it’s perfect for photos!
My advice is to wear really good hiking shoes! The paths can get muddy, and I slipped a few times. Also, bring some snacks – there aren't a ton of options nearby, and you’ll want the energy for exploring.
