Our Juneau dog sledding tour via helicopter will take you on an experience of a lifetime!

Imagine riding in a dog sled behind a team of huskies as you race across a snow-covered valley nestled in between picturesque mountains on the Juneau Icefield. This thrilling adventure provides a combination of the best Juneau excursions: dog sledding on snow and a helicopter tour over the glaciers.

The journey begins when you are conveniently picked up at the main cruise ship terminal in Juneau and transported to the helipad in the Mendenhall Valley. The scenic helicopter tour over glaciers and in-between mountain peaks is only the beginning of this legendary Alaskan tour. While taking in magnificent views of the Juneau Icefield, you will arrive at the dog sledding camp on Herbert Glacier, enjoy a kennel tour, and the ultimate highlight of this Juneau tour, the dog sled ride!

You will share this adventure with 160 Alaskan huskies who live on the glacier and hear unique personal accounts of the Iditarod racers and their experiences racing and mushing with Alaska's most unique form of transportation. You will have an opportunity to ask the dog trainers and mushers questions about raising and racing Alaskan sled dogs and of course partake in multiple photo opportunities.

Feel the excitement on this amazing dog sledding excursion as the eager team of huskies is harnessed up and takes off on a race over the snow. The thrill of driving a dog sled team and taking part in a great Alaskan pastime creates this once-in-a-lifetime experience!

Your dog sledding tour concludes with photo opportunities, a scenic helicopter flight of the glaciers, and return transfer to the cruise ship terminal. Please note: Seating arrangements are subject to availability and safety. Although your family may be on the same tour departure, you are not guaranteed seats in the same helicopter.
