The best Juneau dog sledding tours are:
Dog sledding is a top activity in Juneau, as featured in our Juneau cruise port guide.
Our Juneau dog sledding tours do not have age restrictions or a minimum age requirement. One tour, the Mendenhall Glacier Dog Sledding & Helicopter Tour, allows lap children (under 2 years old) for free.
Dog sledding tours typically cost 5-0 per person. Tours that visit mushers camps in the forest without snow are more affordable, while excursions that include helicopter tours and dog sledding on a glacier cost more.
Here's what customers had to say about dog sledding in Juneau.
“My family and I had an amazing time on the glacier helicopter and dog sledding tour. They provide waterproof over boots to use while on the glacier. Amazing views of the glacier and valley as you fly to the dog camp. The dogs all looked happy and well cared for. We were encouraged to interact with the dogs, who were all friendly. We got to go on an exhilarating dog sled ride - they go much faster than I expected. We even got to interact with some 3 month old puppies. Definitely do not miss out on this amazing tour!”

“This excursion was absolutely amazing and something I will never forget. The helicopter pilot gave us a smooth ride and landing and great narration throughout. The dog sled camp was much larger than imagined and so great to see all of the dogs well cared for. The dogsled ride was the trip of a lifetime and 2 miles long. Got to hold a 2 month old puppy. Then on to the Herbert Glacier. Our pilot got out and walked with us and gave us a fantastic walking tour. Our helicopter was the only one on the glacier. It was all together the trip of a lifetime and well worth every penny spent. Can't say enough about this fantastic experience!”

Dog Sled World & Glacier Helicopter Adventure:
“This was the one thing that was on my must do list. It exceeded my expectations. I absolutely loved it. Was not looking forward to the helicopter flight but it was so spectacular I forgot to be scared. Everything was done very professionally and fun as well. We were lucky to spend time with some 2 week old pups as well. The dogs were amazing and this will remain as one of my best days ever.”

Mendenhall Glacier Dog Sledding Tour:
“A+++!!! The short but sweet helicopter rides provided incredible views of Juneau and the surrounding mountains, and a breathtaking tour of the Mendendhall Glacier. The dog mushing camp was incredible to witness and the people working there were passionate and kind about their work, with people and dogs! The dog sledding was the highlight of our family's trip to Alaska and the views were spectacular the entire time. Highly recommend!”

“Excellent shore excursion in Juneau. Came in on a cruise ship and it was easy to find the check-in staff in downtown Juneau. Went on a bus driving up a steep mountain and reached the dog sled camp. The driver provided good commentary and answered questions. Dog camp was informative, learning about dog sledding and the Iditarod race, and had a lot of fun riding the sled and interacting with the sled dogs and some younger dogs. Loved holding the blue-eyed puppy at the end for a couple of minutes. The staff was dedicated and seemed passionate about dogs and dog racing. At the end, the bus dropped us off back in downtown Juneau at the specified time. Highly recommended and a highlight of my Alaskan cruise.”
Gordon
“This was our best time in Alaska! Everyone we met there was a real dog lover and the dogs are treated with great care and respect. Our guide, who had been there around one year, was very knowledgeable and the information we learned was riveting. Being able to interact with the dogs and the PUPPIES (!) was priceless. I could have stayed there all day! Booking through Alaska Excursions was easy and reasonably priced. I definitely recommend them!”
