Had an amazing time. All staff were very friendly and professional. The sledding ride was so much fun and learned a lot from the mushers

Much better than expected. My wife loves animals and she was happy with the interaction, especially with the puppies! Guides, Haylee and Shannon, were knowledgeable and friendly! Helicopter ride was great!

We had an amazing experience with Air Alaska and the dogsled tour! Both staff were great and very knowledgeable. The views from the helicopter and the glacier itself are unbeatable. You can never be bored on top of the glacier as there are sweet puppies to hold, the dogsled tour and a sledding hill of a lifetime (if you can make it to the top)! Highly recommend the dogsled tour!
