Amazing views of the scenery both from the helicopter and on the glacier itself. Guides were awesome. Best part of our trip to Alaska- riding the dogsleds on the Punchbowl Glacier. Even stopped to take pictures of the sheep on the mountains Dogs and puppies were adorable. Most definitely worth every penny for the trip.

This was a bucket list item worth every penny. Starting with the professional office staff to the helicopter pilot to amazing mushers and dog handers on the glaciers and especially the dogs and puppies! Brandon and Julie on the glacier answered all of our questions about the dogs; we got to play and hold 8 week and 1 week old puppies and then the highlight - the actual dog sled ride. My husband and I were able to switch from standing to sitting so we experienced the different views. Highly recommend this once in a lifetime experience. They provide waterproof covers for your your shoes, pants and jackets and they transported us back and forth to our hotel.
