This was an amazing, once in a lifetime experience! The staff were so kind and had so many interesting stories about their dogs and their life on the glacier, as well as their experience in the Iditarod! Even though it was foggy the day we went, the views were still breathtaking. I would highly, highly recommend this experience to anyone! It's not as hard as it looks!

Seriously one of the best things I’ve ever done on a vacation! If you go to Alaska you absolutely cannot miss this. The helicopter ride to and from the glacier was STUNNING. The crew were friendly and helpful! The pilots were awesome! The mushing crew were friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone had a great time! The dogs were so sweet and it was amazing to get to play with the dogs - including a puppy! We also got to help harness the dogs. I can’t say enough about how cool this was.

This was a lot of fun. The staff at the airfield were professional and safety conscious. The helicopter ride was fun with beautiful views on the way to the glacier. The dogsledding was a great experience. The mushers were knowledgeable and made the sledding fun. The dogs are sweet and ready to work.
