This is a very well run operation. The pilots & helicopters are good & we all felt safe on the short & beautiful flight. The staff is super nice & helpful. The dog sled experience was phenomenal - the kids loved it! We learned a lot! What a great Alaskan adventure! It is everything it says in the on-line description.

We went on the summer glacier dogsledding tour while on our honeymoon in Alaska and it was the best thing we did on our vacation. From the helicopter ride, which was over stunning scenery and on a very cool, small helicopter to landing on the dog camp to actually sledding, we had a great time. It was worth every penny. The dog sled camp on the glacier was great to experience, plus meeting the puppies was a delight. And the dog-sledding itself was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I would recommend to anyone who is going to Alaska.

The entire staff is warm, helpful, informative, and hospitable. Flying to the glacier, meeting the dogs, and playing with the puppies are memories for a lifetime. I raved about my experience so much that my coworker is taking the same tour, with his daughters, today.
