To be fair, I work with dogs and I'm a huge dog nerd, so NATURALLY this would be a big part of my Alaska experience. But even if I wasn't super into dogs, the helicopter ride alone would have been mindblowing. Both the Alpine Air staff and the folks running the dog camp were 100% on top of their game as far as preparing you for what to expect, providing proper gear, and explaining/educating you as to what you're seeing/experiencing. Our experience was downright MAGICAL, from flying in a helicopter to meeting the puppies and helping to hook up the dogs to the sled (and even taking them from the sled to back to their kennels), I can't put into words just how incredible our three hours were. I had wondered if it would be worth the money, and the answer is YES! It totally is.

Took our 17 and 18 year old grandkids. This was the favorite activity they did in Alaska. They said the dog sledding guy was so interesting to listen to. Loved the flight. So scenic. Just a great Alaskan experience. I don't have pictures but the kids will put some on.

We had the most amazing, once in a lifetime experience dog sledding on Punchbowl Glacier! Everything from start to finish was incredible, from the office staff to the pilots and the mushers, all were so awesome and informative. This experience blew our expectations out of the water and will be something we share with all our family and friends. Thank you Alpine Air, we cannot say enough how much we loved flying up to the glacier and sledding with the dogs, it is worth every single penny!
