Experience the pure enthusiasm of Alaskan Huskies while mushing on an alpine glacier! Your tour begins with a helicopter flight to a remote glacier camp. Next, you'll ride a dog sled on beautiful journey around an alpine snowfield! This is the dogsledding tour of a lifetime. (This tour departs from the town of Girdwood, located just 35 miles south of Anchorage).

We chose this trip based on feedback available on Viator. I did not have safe trip. The base camp team were excellent, very supportive and took utmost care.
The helicopter ride was good.
At the glacier, the musher Whitney and Lucas were very warm & welcoming and gave us detailed instructions.
However, I would suggest improvement in the dog sledding -
1. I along with my family had booked for August 31. I fell twice due to an extremely bumpy ride, uncontrolled speed during crossing of two crevices on the glacier.
I am writing this especially because I was badly injured and have been detected with a broken 6th rib.
2. Safety of the dog sled needs to improve with provisions for safety belts, emergency brakes and helmets.
3. Speed control and communication between mushers and last rider needs to improve. Overall physical safety of riders must improve to ensure a better overall experience during and after the sledding trip.

If we could give this place a 100 for reviews we would! The experience was amazing from start to finish. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, super careful about safety, patient, fun, and on time. They geared us up well for a chilly experience on a glacier. The helicopter ride up was smooth and exhilarating. Once we got onto the glacier, we got to visit the dogs that were so excited to go running. We even spent about 15 minutes with the cute puppies that had been born a few weeks earlier. The sled ride itself was such a fun experience-it's hard to describe. It's such a unique kind of adventure. I was actually the one braking in the back & fell off while trying to brake. No worries though. The guide braked at the next earliest opportunity & waited for me to rejoin. My family will cherish this tour for the rest of our lives!

Guides, Haylee and Shannon, were knowledgeable and friendly!

We had an amazing experience with Air Alaska and the dogsled tour! Both staff were great and very knowledgeable. The views from the helicopter and the glacier itself are unbeatable. You can never be bored on top of the glacier as there are sweet puppies to hold, the dogsled tour and a sledding hill of a lifetime (if you can make it to the top)! Highly recommend the dogsled tour!

BUCKET LIST ADVENTURE!!! What an incredibly amazing, beautiful, and FUN afternoon! We had the BEST experience. Everything from scheduling (we had a question and got immediate feedback via cell phone!), to finding the hangar, to the actual flight with our professional and friendly pilot, to the dog sled/mushing crew exceeded ALL expectations!! We played with puppies, met the sled dogs (and scratched lots and lots of ears), mushed on the dog sled trail, saw glacial majesty, and even sledded before we flew back down. I recommend this excursion to EVERYONE (our mother was limited in her physical abilities, but the staff catered to her). An unforgettable fabulous day our family will never forget! Thank you, Danny Seavey (& crew) and Alpine Air!

Amazing, once in a lifetime experience. We had a wet and rainy day, and we still loved it. Riding in the helicopter was exciting and we all loved the chance to pet the puppies!

Was one of our favorite activities. The dogs and their handlers are very personable. Also amazing to meet a puppy litter
