Got a little extra tour al la Gilligan's island on the dogsledding/glacier tour... After helicopter ride up to doggy base camp, and during our mushing tour, fog dropped down on our bit of glacier. They had to hook up six dog sleds to the biggest snow mobile I've seen and haul us down glacier to where the helicopters could pick up us. Other than having the movie , The Thing popping into my head for awhile there, it was way fun and worth every penny.

Truly once in a life time opportunity!! If you are thinking about going, do it!!! Bucket list for sure. The weather was perfect. The helicopter ride was smooth and beautiful and the pilot had lots of info about the mountain ranges and glaciers. Upon landing you are mesmerized by the environment, the mountains, the snow, ice, no pictures do it justice. Incredible and awe inspiring. Our musher was so great! He let us ask any questions we had and we had such an incredible experience. The dogs were all so loving and fun. What made this tour even better was hearing the love for the dogs, and how every single item is bought up by helicopter then taken away at the end of the season. Nothing is left on the glacier. Not even the dog poo. Its an incredible story to hear. I wore a beanie, a hoodie and a rain coat and I was more comfortable. I would recommend gloves if your hands get cold! In saying that though it did get warm during the dog sled. We loved the sledding but it is a lot of hard work staying on the flimsy sled. We did nearly topple over which wasnt good but luckily between out musher the ones on the back and my hubby we righted. The sled ride is 1 kilometre, which was enough for us. Seriously, if you are debating on going, DO IT! It’s worth every cent!! Yes its an expensive tour, but will you ever get another chance on Mendenhall Glacier?
