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.

I cannot say enough good things about the Anchorage Helicopter Tour and our amazing guide, Adam! I'd never ridden in a helicopter before, so I didn't know what to expect. But the ride was smoother than I anticipated and the views were absolutely breathtaking. Definitely opt for the dogsled tour as well, because it's truly a once in a lifetime experience. We got to snuggle with baby sled dogs and hang out with the working dogs for a bit. Then we were whisked away in our own sled to see even more of the surrounding glacier area. It was so much fun! Finally, we landed atop the glacier and got to drink water fresh from the ground. It was the most incredible feeling. Throughout it all, Adam gave us a detailed history of the area and pointed out specific wildlife and nature formations. He was outgoing, friendly, and you could tell really loves his job! It's expensive, but you pack a lot in to just a few hours. Worth every penny.

We are so happy you had an amazing time and thank you for sharing your experience! It is always the best to share a first time helicopter ride along with the incredible scenery you can see in our little gem hidden in the back woods of Alaska to everyone we can. We hope to see you again if you ever venture back to Alaska!

Best thing I did in Alaska and one of my top adventures of my life. Worth every penny and more. PLEASE do NOT skip the glacier landing. This part was sensational. Fill your cup up with pure glacier water, take pictures of a lifetime. The dogsled team was lovely and the puppies adorable. The staff picked and dropped me off from Anchorage and every person was friendly and knowledgable. The staff fit me in after a very long flight and came to greet me. I can't wait to visit again but with my family. This company is 5 stars+++. Don't delay- they get busy. Budget for this one, you won't be sorry!

Thank you for your review! the combo Dogsled with Lower Glacier Landing Tour is one of our favorites as you get the best of both the snow covered part of a high hanging glacier as well as the incredible feeling of landing on the hard ice between the massive crevasses and next to majestic blue melt pools. We are happy you got to experience this one!

if you are considering this trip, please take it! Yes it is costly, but it is 100% worth it! the staff are friendly, & accommodating. Pilot was very informative, and more then helpful in taking photos, and helping guests on/off the helicopter. The views, experience, and photos we took are amazing!
