When you visit Southeast Alaska and combine the thrill of a glacier helicopter tour with the oldest operating dog sled tour company, you end up with this surreal experience that will have you saying, "Wow!" early and often.
Listen to a safety briefing and gear up with glacier boots; then, fly over lush rain forest, deep blue crevasses and glacier-carved peaks as your pilot gives you a spectacular flightseeing tour to the dogsled camp on Mendenhall Glacier.
Professional mushers will have you help drive the team or relax in the sled as you take in the awe-inspiring scenery. You will have time to talk with the mushers or take pictures with the dogs before your helicopter takes you back to base and civilization. Don't miss out on this truly Alaskan experience.
