Skagway Dog Sledding & Glacier Flightseeing Helicopter Tour

Our dog sledding trip was canceled due to hot weather, so we opted for the helicopter/glacier tour. This is a must do!! First time for most of us on a helicopter and our pilot did a great job. The scenery was beautiful. We were the 4th helicopter in line so we got some amazing pictures :) The glacier was very cool and guides very informative. You even get to lay down and drink the freshest water you will ever taste. We will be doing this again on our next trip!!!

We were only able to do the helicopter tour, as the dog sledding place is closed. The glacier tour was awesome. Just being in the middle of the glacier, it was a great feeling. Easy ride, our pilot shared many interesting info during the ride. Our guide was super enthusiastic during the tour. Highly recommend.

Awesome experience!!

I can't say enough about this excursion and how the staff really made the effort to make this experience happen for me. I had an accident shortly before the trip and tore a muscle in my leg and it was difficult for me to walk on snow or far distances. When I arrived at the dog camp, they had arranged for the snow mobile to pick me up in the helicopter and take me to the sled. They did the same when I had to board the helicopter again. Once I arrived back at the landing pad, they brought my cane out to the helicopter. I was so grateful for being able to share this experience with my family and for all they did for me. The whole experience was amazing including the helicopter ride, meeting the dogs, the dog sledding and seeing my daughter's face light up when she got to hold a puppy.

We had an awesome time! The flight over was brief, but fun. Our musher was very nice and easy to talk to. And of course the dogs were super cute and energetic. Would recommend to anyone!

This excursion worth more than 5 Stars, at least for me! It's worth every penny you pay though the most expensive one for our Alaska excursions. The service, the view, the dogs and the experiences are all unforgettable! They are all short trips, but it's good enough for you to have everything as program described. Highly recommended, everyone should book it.

Once in a life time opportunity. Loved it!

From start to finish this tour was a jaw dropper. The helicopter ride to the top of the glacier was so beautiful and unexpected only because we were so focused on the dogsledding part! So it was an awesome bonus to see the beauty of Alaska from the sky. Dogsledding was a once in a lifetime experience that our musher Luther did a great job at explaining, sharing his dogs with us, and helping capture the moments with pictures.

Absolutely AMAZING!!!! By far our favorite Alaskan excursion!

This trip was awesome. My children loved being able to to see the dogs and going dog sledding. The helicopter ride over the glaciers was a huge added bonus.

Out of this world experience. Loved our helicopter pilot who made my two children super comfortable and excited during the flight. Views from the glacier were amazing. And the dog sledding was so much fun! Highlight of our trip.

The staff were exceptional at this tour. Although we were extremely disappointed that we were unable to do our dog sledding due to the bad weather, we were given the opportunity to still do another tour to the glacier which was exceptional. The guides were very professional and informative. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour.

Spectacular experience. If you do NOTHING ELSE, do this.

This was a great excursion! The helicopter ride gave spectacular views you wouldn't normally see! The dog sledding was awesome, the dogs were very excited to pull the sled. We were given several opportunities to take pictures along the way. Our sled dog driver was a wealth of information and knew what he was doing! We are a family of four with two teenagers (14 & 18) that loved the excursion, highly recommend!

The helicopter ride was awesome. It was wonderful to see the glaciers and ice fields from above. The dogs were so excited to pull us. We really got the feel for sledding. And we were able to hold some puppies. A highlight of our trip.

Our Skagway Dog Sledding & Glacier Flightseeing Helicopter Tour was the highlight of our trip! From the moment we arrived at the helicopter base in Skagway, we were greeted with friendly faces and all of the information we would need for the excursion. Once we took off in the helicopter, we felt like we were immediately transferred to a fairytale land because the views were so spectacular! Landing in the middle on Denver Glacier with snow all around us was surreal. My husband and I are both animal lovers and getting the chance to meet and let the sled dogs was a great experience. Riley, our dog musher, was super friendly and make us feel safe and secure during the dog sledding. He also offered to take photos of us on numerous occasions during the tour. The one thing we did think should have been included is the professional photo that was taken during the dog sledding. The excursion is already so expensive that we thought this would have made the experience that much more enjoyable. We still paid the to buy one of the professional photos, but thought this was an unnecessary added cost. Thank you!

AWESOME. Jessie was a tremendous pilot and Joey was a great musher. We had a blast!

Absolutely Brilliant, Alaska Shore Excursions were fantastic to deal with. This was one of the highlights of our holiday. From beginning to end this was amazing, the pilot was awesome, pointing out interesting landmarks and getting us within brilliant viewing distance. Then the dog camp what can I say it was exhilarating and our Musher Riley was wonderful. This was the most expensive excursion we did but it was more than worth it.

Had a great time. Everything went smoothly and our dog guide was full of information and we had a chance to meet the dogs and run the sled.

Wonderful excursion! Everything we expected and more! Would highly recommend to anyone!

Helicopter ride was great. Dogsled experience pretty brief but fun.

This was a highlight of our vacation! The scenery was fantastic and it was great to learn so much about the sledding and how it made an impact in Alaskan history. The people we encountered were very courteous and friendly.

Amazing helicopter flight and dog sled experience. It has spectacular views and we got some amazing videos and photos. It was totally worth the expense. The staff, pilot, dogs and musher were wonderful!

Awesome tour cool yo. I liked the doggos very much. Sled ride was thrilling and fun. I would recommend this to a friend.

This excursion was the highlight of my vacation. They were incredibly helpful and concerned about our safety and they were clearly interested in the safety of the dogs as well. Really fantastic!!

This excursion was the highlight of our Alaskan cruise. Everything from checking-in, to the helicopter ride, and then the dog sledding was operated so professionally and all staff were incredibly friendly! I can't say enough great things about this top-notch experience all the way around! Thank you for the memorable experience!

Fantastic experience. Highly recommend

We had high expectations for this excursion and they were exceeded by a mile! From the thrilling helicopter ride with a magnificent view of the rugged Alaskan landscape to the incredible joy of dog sledding across a glacier, this was the best experience of our Alaskan visit. Talk about doing something out of the ordinary, this was it. Thanks to Ryan....and especially to Wingo....our lead dog....what a great experience.

Great experience! Well organised and fun to meet the dogs who loved the experience and try out sledding and mushing. Views from the helicopter were great!

Overall great experience!

We had a great time on this excursion!! They had to reschedule us due to weather but were very accommodating and friendly!! Definitely recommend!

Absolutely amazing. Everyone we interacted with wasn

This was by far the best excursion we did in Alaska. It is not to be missed. I do wish the helicopter ride was a bit longer as the views were spectacular. Our musher, Joey, was really good!

Breathtaking helicopter ride to the glacier. Adorable, happy, friendly working dogs. Extreme dog-sledding experience, we all got a chance to mush, adorable puppies, lovely enthusiastic people. Do not miss this!

This was amazing! Our helicopter guide (Ian) was fantastic. His narration and flying were top notch. Our mushing guide (Joey) was personable and really enthusiastic about his dogs and sport. We were a bit surprised about the amount of time we actually had on the rig (one short lap) for the cost, but appreciated being a part of such an awesome excursion. How many people can say they have been dogsledding on a glacier?

This excursion is AMAZING!!! From start to finish an unforgettable experience. We had a brief orientation and were outfitted with snow boots. Personal belongings are stowed in a secure locker. The helicopter ride to the glacier was beautiful. Our pilot gave is a narrated tour along the way. The dog sledding was incredible!! We had an awesome guide who told us all about life out there on the glacier with the dogs. We got to meet our team of the dogs and pet them. We each had a turn to sit and also drive the sled and had a beautiful ride on the glacier. Then we got to hold puppies!! The landscape out there on the glacier is absolutely breathtaking. After a brief helicopter ride back, we were offered hot chocolate or coffee upon our return. Hands down the best excursion we did in Alaska! I'd do it again in a heartbeat. The tour operator was excellent and I highly recommend them!

Once in a lifetime adventure. The cost is high, but how many people get the chance to walk on a glacier and mush 'real' Alaskan mushing dogs.

Excellent highly recommend. Initial morning tour cancelled due to poor weather but offered flight in afternoon weather permitting. Luckily we got to go on the adventure of a lifetime the helicopter service was excellent, great flight over mountains onto Glacier. Dog handler great and sledding great fun. A fabulous adventure of a lifetime highly recommend.

Excellent staff and helicopter pilot. The dogs and musher were amazing, Thank you for providing a once in a life time expirence. Well done to all!

This was a 5 Star bucket list experience. As an AKC show breeder of Chows for over 25 years, we so enjoyed learning about these superb K9 athletes. Our musher, Riley, was so accommodating and knowledgeable. Surprisingly he is from a small town only about 40 miles from where we live. We only wish we could have stayed longer and even helped with kennel chores. Your entire crew from those who assisted us as we entered the facility to the pilots were friendly and amazing. The icing on this cake was the perfect weather the day we took the tour. Larry & Darlene Kofoed

Hopefully we have another opportunity too do it! Staff was friendly. Experience was once in a lifetime

we were delivered to the dog camp by helicopter soaring over breathtakingly beautiful scenery that seemed to go on forever! The camp itself was amazing with very enthusiastic dogs, eager to please. The sled ride with the chance to mush ourselves left us speechless and cuddling the pups afterward was delightful. This excursion exceeded our expectations. It was simply brilliant. Do it if you get the chance!!!

THE one excursion you must do in Alaska! The helicopter ride was outrageous and dog sledding was super fun. An added bonus was playing with the pups!

This was spectacular. Everything was very organized and exactly as explained to me when I called and talked with a person at the Heliport site. The dog sledding could have been a little longer and a little less time talking with the musher before starting the ride, but all of the information he provided was very interesting.

Excellent in everything, organization, installations, tour guides, and price. Already recommending the tour.

Tour was amazing however only 4 stars because due to timing conflicts with train ride I booked this excursion privately. Even though there was a transportation van at the dock we had to walk because if the tour wasn't booked through Norwegian then they wouldn't pick us up. Walking with an elderly was difficult

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING...from beginning to end..the guides and pilots were awesome and constantly gave facts and information. This is a MUST DO in Skagway

This trip made our vacation. Ryan (Ryne) was a great guide. Thenpuppies were adorable too!

Fantastic, amazing, not to be missed. Despite the rain and the cold this day was the highlight of our trip.

Great experience!

Awesome awesome awesome!!! Best tour ever!! We had a great time and I highly recommend this excursion if you go to Skagway!!!!!! We loved it!!

Life time memories for me and my family. It was a great experience. we loved it.

The most exciting time that we had in Alaska. Greg was great on the dogsled ride. We would do it again in a heartbeat.

Excellent tour....Riley was our Dog Sled Guide, very informative and you can tell he loves what he is doing. All people involved were great. Favourite excursion of all the ones we did. Highly recommend it.

One of the best experiences of all our holidays. Helicopter fantastic and pilots lovely. Wonderful to be flying so near magnificent mountains. Dog sledding great fun and mushers lovely people. Loved the way the staff care for the dogs, and loved the way the dogs were so friendly and so enjoyed what they did. Joylene, Adelaide south Australia

This was our favorite. Luther was awesome and we loved the helicopter rides! I was a bit disappointed in the quality and background of the two pictures we purchased for but felt compelled in the moment to purchase.

We had a fun time here! It was the first time we had ever been in a helicopter and the ride alone was a great experience. Once you land on the glacier, you're introduced to the dogs slowly and they all seem like they're really excited to get to run. It doesn't surprise me that they can run 100 miles a day with all that energy. The dog sledding itself is pretty fun too - they take you on a ~ 1/3 mile loop around the top of the glacier, stopping every once in a while to allow a different person to be the secondary 'musher' (standing behind your guide and primary musher), otherwise you're seated. The dog's don't run at a speed that one might be scared of, and it's definitely a fun experience for the 10 minutes that you're on the loop. (It might be longer but maybe it felt short because it was fun). I do wish it were cheaper - I understand that the very expense of bringing everything up to the glacier and back down in the off-season must be very high and that the price is reasonable for the amount of work that goes into training and taking care of the dogs, but it is quite a limiting factor in deciding whether to go again or not. For the time you get to spend actually on the trail I'd say it's fun, but not worth doing more than once.

Gorgeous time with wonderful people and dogs Thank to them to allow us to discover their refuge.

Great trip, great service

Highly recommend this excursion!! It is something you can't do anywhere else. We were so happy that we chose this. Also impressed with the crew - they were awesome!! Go enjoy - you would not be disappointed.

What an experience!! Unforgettable!

What an amazing experience. We ended up having great weather that day and have the most beautiful pictures from our trip. The guides were very courteous and informative. This is a once in a lifetime excursion and is a must! We didn't go through the cruise ship, but we had no problem finding the location and going directly through Alaska Shore Excursions.

What an awesome excursion this was! This was an experience that I don't think will ever forget. If you have the opportunity to sign up for this tour, take it. You will not be disappointed.

This was an amazing excursion. We loved every minute of it and will talk about it for years to come.

Fantastic excursion! My daughters loved it. My only complaint is the cost, but we are very glad we did it. The mushers who helped us were terrific!

AWESOME EXPIERIENCE....THE WEATHER GODS WERE KIND AS WELL
