Our experience on the Glacier today was so fun. First, we are on a glacier!!!! Then, we get to love on dogs, some of whom are very likely to be on a Seavey Iditarod team in the next few years. The sledding itself was fun-the sounds were exciting and watching the dogs do what God created them to do was humbling. Great job Alpine Air. Highly recommend this adventure! Oh yes, the puppies were beyond adorable 🥰

This is a must do if you are wanting a helicopter tour and/or dog sledding. The people are awesome and the dogs are even more awesome (no offense to the humans😜)! I felt comfortable from the beginning. Everything is very organized and very safe! This was my first helicopter ride and definitely will not be my last. Thank you alpine air for an unforgettable experience and to the dogs for giving me a bit of home while in Alaska 💖

We are a family of 6 - our kids are ages 2, 11, 11, 17 and this was by far our favorite Alaska adventure. Thank you to the crew at Alpine Air for the helpful and excellent service. Our family had a wonderful time and would do it again in a heartbeat.
