This summer glacier dog sledding was one of the best things we all have ever done. It was so much fun. The helicopter ride to the glacier was smooth and beautiful! All of the staff were friendly and knowledgeable. The dogs were so excited to go, it was adorable. And, we got to hold baby husky puppies! I definitely recommend it!

This was my first visit to Alaska, and Alpine Air out of Girdwood, AK gave me the experience of a lifetime on the Glacier Dogsledding Tour! The helicopter pilots, office staff and the dog handlers took great care to answer questions & offered suggestions to enhance our experience. We were encouraged to interact with the dogs and saw first hand how happy these dogs are to run and to give us the ride of a lifetime! I highly recommend this tour and experience the Pure Joy of Alaska! Miss Kim

I recently went on a fabulous cruise and saw and did many wonderful excursions. The absolute most outstanding day was with Alpine Air Alaska helicopter glacier dog sledding trip out of Girdwood, AK. Our guide/musher Andrew and our pilots going, Taylor, and returning Shane both were fun and explained some glacier history and what to expect when we landed. The office staff was so gracious and helped us get ready with boots, rain pants, jackets and gloves. We were allowed to pet the sled dogs and after our tour we got to play with the puppies (8 weeks old). I wish I had the words to express just how extra special this experience was. Thank you Alpine Air Alaska. Linda D
