Very expensive but worth every penny. Everyone was great, from the attendants at the airport, to the helicopter pilot, to the musher camp handlers, very informative and professional. Views are incredible, dog sledding is fun, glacier stop is awe inspiring. Definitely recommend, 10/10!

This was a highlight of my Alaska trip. Sledding with the dogs on the snow seems like a much better idea than the ground. It was truly an experience! While the trip was a bit more expensive since it included the dogs and a separate Glacier landing, it was definitely worth it. Our musher was very informative and enthusiastic, as well as our helicopter pilots and the rest of the staff. Highly recommend this trip.
