Alaska Helicopter and Glacier Dogsled Tour - ANCHORAGE AREA

Overview

The most popular tour! Drive your own sled-dog team with 4 time Iditarod winner Dallas Seavey's team of mushers, handlers and champion dogs on real snow in the middle of summer surrounded by amazing scenery. Start this adventure with a helicopter ride over glaciers and icebergs. We often see moose, black bears, Dall sheep and goats. Land on a huge snow eld high on a glacier and enjoy a whole hour with champion sled dogs and their mushers that live here all summer. Take the dog team for an exhilarating ride through real snow. You can stand on the runners and mush your own dog team or just sit on the sled and let the mushers run the team. After your dogsled tour meet the canine athletes that pulled your sled, listen to stories about running sled dog races of over a 1,000 miles long, and of course take pictures with your favorite dogs. After the tour the helicopter takes you back to the lodge and you’ll fly over the lower glaciers where you can see the blue melt pools and the crevasses.

Alaska Helicopter tours was truly first class! They made it easy to book online and when I had to rebook I was able to quickly reach an actual live human being on the phone who changed our booking with no questions and no change fees!!! Amazing in todays world. On the day of our tour the check in process was easy and the staff was friendly. Coming from a military aviation background I can say the helicopters appeared in excellent operating condition, an appropriate safety brief was given, and the pilot was very professional. On our flight out to the dogsledding camp our pilot Steven pointed out wildlife and gave us a brief history lesson on the glaciers. He flew the aircraft in a safe, professional manner. The views were amazing, even on a cloudy rainy day. When we arrived at the Dogsledding camp we met our guide Gabby, an enthusiastic and energetic musher. She showed us briefly how to drive the sled and we were off on a 20-30 min dogsledding adventure. That was long enough as it was cold and rainy, but the experience was priceless. On return to the camp we were introduced to the dogs that had pulled us. What amazing animals! We then got to see and hold three 10wk old puppies. Overall this was an amazing experience, well worth the cost, and something my wife and I will not forget. Alaska Helicopter Tours will certainly get our return business, we actually have another flight booked tomorrow!!

This was an incredible tour, the highlight of the trip! The helicopter ride to the glacier was amazing, we got to see wildlife, and our pilot Shad pointed out many different features of the glacier as we flew. Shad is a great pilot and a great tour guide. The dog sledding portion was equally as incredible-- the tour guide gave us all a chance to drive our sled. Afterwards we had the opportunity to meet the dogs, the puppies, and see the camp. All of the dogs there are owned by Dallas Seavy, and are all race dogs or training to be race dogs! This is for sure a once in a lifetime experience. I highly recommend this to anyone considering it, it is the best dog sledding experience in Alaska! On our flight back to the lodge, the weather began to change-- it got very foggy, began to rain, and visibility became poor. As a result, Shad made second landing to wait for the clouds and fog to clear. Even though Shad was forced to improvise in this scenario, it seemed like he had done it a hundred times. We quickly landed in a clearing (see photo), and waited out the weather until it was safe to fly again. Once a window in the clouds opened up, we took off and flew safely back to the lodge. All in all-- the storm added to the experience. With expertise and professionalism from the staff and our pilot Shad, we felt very safe, so the unexpected weather actually ended up enhancing the experience. It was a blast! We highly recommend this tour for a once in a lifetime experience.

Everything was great from beginning to end. The helicopter pilot Shad was awesome! The crew with the dog sledding tour were fun and explained so much about the dogs and the Iditarod Team. The views and just experiencing a ride with the dogs on the Glacier were amazing. Taking the helicopter to another Glacier to walk on was incredible. Highly recommend this Tour company! They are top notch!!!
