Seemed quite rushed but I understand that there was a certain amount of time allocated. It would have been good to have more time with the dogs though. Overall I would certainly recommend this as it was definitely my favourite thing of the Alaskan Cruise. I am so glad we did it.

We absolutely loved it. It was the highlight of my vacation and would recommend anyone contemplating this excursion to do it. It is a must.

This was an amazing tour! Everything ran very smoothly - from pick up through the entire tour. The staff were all professional and informative, from our van driver, to the team briefing us for the flight, to the helicopter pilots and the dog camp operators.
I was a little nervous about the flight, since I d never been on a helicopter, but as soon as we were up, and I saw how beautiful everything was, I was over it! And the dog camp was well organized and the pups appear well cared for.
Thanks for such a great tour, and keep up the good work!

One of the best tours I've ever done. Alaska Shore Excursions are very professional from beginning to end. We had a slight technical hitch which caused a slight delay on our tour but everything was dealt with very quickly and efficiently. We were given some extra time on the Glacier and a wonderful flight back. I cannot recommend then more highly you will not be disappointed if you book with this company.

This was my favorite excursion. The views from the helicoptor are amazing and the dogsledding was so much fun. I thought the excursion was extremely well run and the entire staff were very pleasant. Although a bit pricey, I would highly recommend this excursion if you can afford it.

Loved it! I do wish the helicopter ride and the actual dog mushing were a little longer, but it was great fun. Would do it again in a heartbeat! Staff was great

Amazing experience! Definitely the highlight of our Alaskan Cruise. Our musher, Matt, was awesome. He loves his dogs and taught us a lot about what they do and just provided an all around great time!

Amazing experience loved the interaction with the dogs, wish it lasted much longer.

Great day out. However very cramped on board making photography onboard in flight very difficult. Dog sledding was excellent.
Aug 2019 - Bruce B.
Excellent. Had a great time with the dog team and enjoyed having Kiana as our Musher. She was very knowledgeable and handled the dogs well. Glad we included it in our 5 day stay in Juneau. Helicopter Ride was well organized and gave one an excellent view of the Glacier.

What an AWESOME experience!!!! We booked this tour separate from our cruise. The tour leader met us on time at the designated meeting place, accommodated our request to stay with people from our cruise line and took us back to port after the excursion. The experience on the Glacier was Once in a Lifetime! Greg, our musher, answered our many, many questions, handled his dogs with love and care which was clearly evident from the dogs behavior towards him. All in all, everyone was professional, knowledgeable and excited to have us participating in this wonderful adventure.

We had a perfect day flying to Mendenhall Glacier and sledding with the dogs. This was the highlight of our vacation! Pickup to drop off ran smoothly. Kyle, who picked us up and dropped us off at the cruise port was great answering all of our questions and providing other options for us to do while in Juneau.

The whole family had a wonderful experience. The dogs, guides, drivers and pilots were all fantastic. Well worth the money. My grandchildren will never forget it.

Awesome tour - loved it, this was our first time in a helicopter - what views. Our Sled dog musher - Greg, was fabulous and informative - would certainly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Juneau - it is well worth the outlay of money and time.

We took a breathtaking helicopter ride to Mendenhall Glacier and we landed in the most beautiful area surrounded by scenery I will never forget. The dog sledding was amazing - Shaynee our Musher was the absolute best, she was great to talk to and I was so impressed by her handling of the dogs and her love for all of the dogs. I was so excited to meet, hug and take pictures with the sweet dogs. Thank you so much for wonderful memories.

We had a great time on our dog sled ride ! Our tour guide, Matt Hall was very friendly, informative and skillful! He made us all feel comfortable and secure in his abilities and the dogs as well. We really enjoyed pausing during the ride to pet and get to know the dogs. Wonderful experience!!

I recently flew to the Mendenhall Glacier for the dog sledding excursion. The dog sledding was a once in a lifetime experience, but so was the helicopter ride! I was also impressed with the professionalism and strictness of adhering to the environmental, animal welfare and safety guidelines. I did this tour alone because unfortunately, my friend was unwell and had been advised by the ship's doctor, not to take part in it. Because of communication restrictions, I could not notify the tour operator of her cancellation until our ship docked on the morning of the tour, but I need not have worried. Under the cancellation policy, they were not required to refund any money at all, but they gave my friend a full refund within 24 hours, which I think they should be commended for. Someone in my group did only book that morning, so I sincerely hope that they took my friend's place, and that the tour operator did not lose that money. Thank you so much! I am so glad I flew with your company.

We had an incredible time on this excursion. One member of our party is absolutely obsessed with dogs and this was the happiest day of her life. Stunning views on a clear day and really cool to ride in a helicopter (I'd never been). One thing I will note is that the camp only had 1 "puppy" which was actually 5 months old (so already quite large) which was very disappointing given that the description touts playing with the puppies as part of the experience. The price tag is high but this experience was amazing.
Jun 2019 - Carolyn W.
Absolutely fantastic tour and much cheaper than what the cruise line was charging for the same thing. All the crew were brilliant and we felt very safe. The dog sledding was amazing.
May 2019 - Samantha N.
What a beautiful view from not only above but whilst on the glacier. The dog sled is an added bonus!
May 2019 - Yogesh S.
Firstly, the price was cheaper as compared to the ones sold on our cruise. Secondly, while the excursion timing got postponed due to cloudy weather, it was so much worth the wait. Guess, the helicopter company is one of the best & they lived up to their reputation. The mushers/ camp/ dogs were even more outstanding & adorable. Loved petting the pups. Even better was every person getting a chance to ride the sled in the snow. This was once in a lifetime experience & every penny spent was worth it. Great (different) views & routes for the onward & return helicopter ride. My sons first & he absolutely will never forget it. 5 Stars, definitely recommended.

This excursion became the highlight or our trip. With blue skies & warm temperatures we were picked up promptly by a wonderful driver and taken to our helicopter pad. Safety briefing was excellent, all staff bright, friendly and informative. Both pilots took a different route to or from the glacier so that we were able to see as much as possible. Meeting our musher and the dog sled team was all that we had dreamed and standing behind the team made you feel part of the team and the whole environment. The puppies were of course cuddly, excited and delightful. A truly magic day and as the only 6 people there at the time we felt very grateful that we had been able to experience such a wonderful, well thought out and professional excursion. I highly recommend this company. Vicki NZ. July 25th 2018

This was an amazing experience and the crew for the excursion: including the safety and equipment folks, the helicopter pilot, the mushers, and the dogs themselves, made it all very easy and very fun. We were apprehensive at first due to the price, but this likely once in a lifetime experience was more than worth it. Thank you!

This was INCREDIBLE! My husband and I have traveled throughout our lives and seen some incredible places and done some truly unique things. With that being said, this has become my number 1 experience. I wasn't sure I would truly appreciate glaciers for a week of vacation in Alaska the sled dogs (mush'ing) were AMAZING, but the helicopter ride over the mountains/glacial terrain and landing on the Mendenhall glacier was TRULY breath-taking. It was a great start to an amazing vacation, and set the tone for the rest of our adventures in Alaska. Let me say this, too- I'm from Savannah, GA, so cold weather is debilitating for this girl, but it was the last thing on my mind as we flew into the camp and got to hang out with some incredible animals and incredibly resilient people who are taking care of them. This is a view of God's creation that you will never forget.
