Staff were very friendly, helicopter ride was smooth, pilots were knowledgeable about the area, everyone got their own sled with dogs, views and experiences as a whole were amazing. Can’t even begin to say how much we enjoyed this. Worth every penny. We weren’t rushed through and were given plenty of time for everything. Would highly recommend

This was an amazing experience for my wife and I. Staff were extremely friendly, informative and helpful in getting us prepped for the our first helicopter ride and changing weather conditions. Beck and Mystery on the dog sledding team, were definitely a highlight. They are great hosts and taught us an immense amount about the dog sledding world. The sledding was incredible, also. Definitely will do again!

Excellent experience of what dog sledding is all about. Wonderful helicopter trip up to the glacier while being able to see wonderful sites, town, and possibly wildlife. Arrival at glacier camp provides great hosts and lots of happy dogs. You are able to meet the dogs, help to hook up and put away the dogs, do a sled run, change positions on the sled, start the dogs and learn about the dog owners and actual mushers. An experience not to be missed and Alpine Air is the company to make it happen. The base camp folks are wonderful and welcoming just like the glacier crew.
