I am dis-abled US Army Veteran and didn't think I could climb into and out of the aircraft, but the crew happily assisted me every step of the way. The service my wife and I experienced was way above and beyond what we expected. From our shuttle driver, clothes and flight prep team, pilot to our dog sled guide, these folks love what they do and they made this experience AWESOME and UN-FORGETABLE in every way. We highly recommend this to everyone.

Thank you so much for your recommendation! It was lovely to have you and your wife here, and it was so great to get you up on Punchbowl Glacier with the sled dogs. Please come say hello if you're ever in Alaska again! Thank you, Amber

Probably the experience we were looking forward to the most and it didn’t disappoint! Incredible service/experience from pickup at hotel to drop off. People were nice and efficient when we got to airport to get fitted for boot covers, rain pants, rain jackets and gloves. Great ride to the glacier! Amazing to see the dogs and get to ride in a dogsled! So fun to hold adorable puppies that were maybe 2 weeks old!
