Helicopter Excursion Glacier landing and Dog Sledding

Pristine beauty, majestic mountains and ancient glaciers are seemingly within arm's reach as you near your glacier destination!

One hundred Alaskan Huskies wait to share this essential part of Alaskan culture mushing! Experienced guides will talk to you about racing backcountry experiences and answer your questions as the team is hooked up and then - you're off!


Imagine standing on the runners of a dog sled with a team of huskies loping across the ancient snowfield nestled among the peaks of the Juneau Ice Field. The lure of the trail and the thrill of driving a dog team create the "Ultimate Experience of a Lifetime!" A tour truly for EVERYONE! Passengers ride seated on the sleds with the option for one passenger at a time to stand on the runners of the sled to get an idea of how it feels to actually drive. The professional musher is always in control of the dogs.


No minimum fitness level required. Please dress with warm water-resistant coat, hat, gloves and protective footgear. If you don't have it, we do. Flight times and routes may vary slightly due to inclement weather or other safety concerns. Please allow approximately 3.5 hours from when you are picked up.

PLEASE NOTE:
There is a no bag policy for the helicopter, it is a safety issue and an extension of an FAA policy regarding unsecured baggage in the aircraft. All items taken on board must be in pockets or in something like a waist pack, no backpacks, purses, bags, camera bags. Bins are availabe where you can leave a bag(s) during your tour. The tour facility is staffed at all times for security, however the bins are not locking.
