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 an unforgettable experience.
Listen to a safety briefing and gear up with glacier boots; then, fly over lush rainforest, 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.
Please note: Dress warmly in layered clothing with gloves, a scarf, and a hat; outer layer should be windproof and waterproof. Wear sunglasses. Glacier boots are provided. Guests weighing 250 lbs or more (fully clothed) pay an additional surcharge over the published fare directly to the tour operator just prior to the flight. Every guest is weighed at check-in. The tour operator endeavors to be discreet, but individual circumstances may not allow for complete privacy. Bags cannot be taken on the flight; a secure location is provided for storing personal items. iPads, iPad minis, tablets, drones, and selfie sticks or other extendable items are not permitted. All times are approximate. Time spent on the glacier may vary due to weather and glacial conditions. Not advisable for guests using a wheelchair as the helicopter and glacier are not wheelchair accessible. Waiver must be signed and medical conditions disclosed.
