Description
The ultimate multi activity package: a helicopter tour, a dogsled tour and a landing on the lower glacier to explore the melt pools and crevasses. Start this adventure with a spectacular helicopter ride over glaciers and icebergs. We often see moose, black bears, Dall sheep and mountain goats. Land on a huge snow field high on a glacier and enjoy a whole hour with Alaskan sled dogs and their mushers that live here all summer long. Take the dog team for an exhilarating dogsled ride through real snow. You can stand on the runners and mush your own dog team if you want, or just sit on the sled and let the mushers run the team. After the tour the helicopter takes you to the lower glaciers where you will land on the hard ice between the crevasses to see the majestic blue melt pools.

FAQ
Will everyone in my party be flying in the same helicopter?
Due to weight and balance configuration, we can never guarantee what seat or how many helicopters it may take to fly groups of 2 or more guests until check in. If you are in separate helicopters you WILL be landing and taking off together and experiencing the tour together. You are able to purchase a Private Flight to guarantee being in the same helicopter as long as weights allow.
Can I book a cabin at Alaska Glacier Lodge since this is our departure location?
Absolutely! Call our reservations department for information about our Lodge accommodations and availability or visit our website www.akglacierlodge.com for more information 907-759-5006
Is it cold on the glacier?
Our dogsled camp is located 4000ft high on a snow covered glacier field. The weather can be unpredictable at that altitude so we recommend being prepared for all weather types.
How much should we tip our pilot/guides?
We typically see guests tipping 5 - 10% to pilots/guides. Gratuity is not mandatory but is greatly appreciated!
About operator:
Combine a helicopter flight, dogsled tour, and guided glacier walk for a multi-activity excursion you’re unlikely to experience elsewhere. Let someone else deal with the logistics while you enjoy aerial views of the glacier, before exploring its crevasses and melt pools. Plus, spend time with Alaskan sled dogs, for an experience few travelers get to enjoy.
