Helicopter Glacier Dogsled Tour + Lower Glacier Landing - ANCHORAGE AREA

Helicopter Glacier Dogsled Tour + Lower Glacier Landing - ANCHORAGE AREA

Overview

The ultimate multi activity package: a helicopter tour, a dogsled tour and a landing on the lower glacier to explore the melt pools and crevasses.

Start this adventure with a spectacular helicopter ride over glaciers and icebergs. We often see moose, black bears, Dall sheep and mountain goats. Land on a huge snow field high on a glacier and enjoy a whole hour with Alaskan sled dogs and their mushers that live here all summer long. Take the dog team for an exhilarating dogsled ride through real snow. You can stand on the runners and mush your own dog team if you want, or just sit on the sled and let the mushers run the team.

After the tour the helicopter takes you to the lower glaciers where you will land on the hard ice between the crevasses to see the majestic blue melt pools.

Great experience. Can’t put it in words. Worth every penny. Very professional guides. The dog sledding group were awesome. Standing on a glacier is like being on top of the world

Thank you for your review, the combo tour is by far the most inclusive allowing people to dogsled AND land on the lower glacier between those massive crevasses. So happy you choose that and had a great time!

We had an unforgettable experience! This is a must do for anyone visiting Alaska for the first time. The views are breath taking. Our helicopter pilot was great especially with my five year old son he had a great time spotting bears on the way. The dog sledding was amazing and the dogs are all adorable especially the puppies. My favourite experience was the lower Glacier landing it was spectacular and blue and the Glacier water is so pure. We had an amazing time one I will never forget!

So far, this has been our favorite adventure while visiting Alaska. While planning our trip, we knew we didn’t want to dog sled on wheels and dirt so we opted not to dog sled. Then we saw an ad for this trip in a magazine and called. We were in luck, they had an opening. First you fly over glaciers (we had Chris as our pilot - amazing), hugging the mountains looking to spot moose and bear. He lands you at the sled dog camp and Rick, his grand daughter Cierra and Chad take over. You are probably going to end up in a mound of puppies as soon as you land but save some love for your sled dogs. After a thrilling sled ride around the glacier, the dogs want love and praise. Take an extra $20 for the action photos Chad takes. You will want these pictures. Then Chris gets you back on the helicopter and to fly up the glacier and over the top! As if this hasn’t been the most amazing trip ever, then you land on a lower glacier. I really can’t describe the beauty. It is something you just have to do. Pro tip: Take empty water bottles and fill then from the glacier. And THEN, to take off for I’m the glacier only to fly through a canyon on the way back. If you can only pick one trip, this one should be it.

Thank you for sharing your experience! It is definitely a must to bring a empty water bottle, its indescribable being able to dip it in and drink the cleanest water on earth :)
