We booked the Juneau Helicopter, Dog Sledding, and Glacier Landing Adventure for our family of five. Unfortunately, my oldest daughter fractured her tibial plateau just one week before our cruise, and we weren't sure if we'd be able to participate. The team was wonderful to work with throughout the process, helping us navigate the changes and making things as smooth as possible.
In the end, I was able to go with my youngest daughter, and we're so grateful we did. It was our first time ever flying in a helicopter, and the entire experience was unforgettable. We loved learning about the sled dogs, their training, and the important role they play. It was also fascinating to hear how the staff live and work on the glacier during the season.
The highlight for me was at the end of the tour when our pilot, Tim, landed on the glacier. Seeing it up close was absolutely incredible. Tim did an excellent job sharing his knowledge, answering questions, and even helping us capture some great photos. He made the experience even more memorable.
A few tips for future guests: dress warmly, even if it's comfortable in town. It was quite cold on the glacier. Also, the staff explained that roughly 40% of tours are canceled due to weather. That's completely beyond their control, but it's helpful to know ahead of time so you can set expectations and be flexible.
Every staff member we interacted with was friendly, professional, and helpful. We felt incredibly fortunate to have had this experience, and it was truly one of the highlights of our Alaska trip. Highly recommend!

One of the best experiences ever. The dog sledding was amazing and the glacier experience was unforgettable, absolutely perfect.

You will be given special boots to walk in the snow. If unsteady walking In the snow was difficult. We loved the experience, those pups are well trained and loved by the staff. Its an experience you font want to miss! The helicopter ride was so fun, landing on the glacier was so interesting it's a sheet of ice and the blue colors are breathtaking! Don't miss this!

While we were very disappointed that the dog sledding was cancelled due to weather (this is more common than not), they did manage to fly us to the glacier for a walk with a refund for 1/2 the cost. Experiencing the glacier was still worth the adventure and I recommend moving forward with that option if this happens to you! My husband and son drank water directly from the glacier and we enjoyed walking around up there. We do wish the time to walk around or the helicopter ride was a little longer since the dog sled portion was cancelled.

Amazing surreal experience dog sledding on a glacier. 100% recommend. Should be on everyone's bucket list.

A once in a lifetime experience not to be missed! Wonderful crew, fantastic views and the chance to dogsled on the glacier was special

WOW!
You get a Helicopter tour to a dog sled camp. The flight/scenery was beautiful. Once at camp the staff was so friendly and nice. You got to meet (and pet) the dog sled team, go for a ride. Team was so knowledgeable and seemed happy to be there! Then on the way back another helicopter ride stop top of a glacier, got to see a beautiful mini glacier lake, walk around, then ride the copter back to town. So much fun. They provided anti slip boots to which was nice, we didnt think to pack that!
Thank you guys!!

Entirely different perspective of a glacier

This was an experience of a lifetime that my grandson and I shared. All the staff and helicopter pilot were great and friendly. Loved it!!

We booked the Juneau Helicopter and Dogsledding with added glacier landing with Coastal Helicopters. They picked us up in town near the Goldbelt Tram, drove us to the airport where they fitted us with snow boots to go over our own shoes and stored any items we had in a locked box. We had our own private helicopter with 3 of us (one toddler) plus the pilot. We had the most amazing weather that day, once we got on the sleps at the dog camp it was sunny & blue skies! The dog mushing was so much fun and then we got to visit some of the dogs while waiting for our helicopter to return. We then took a short trip to land on the glacier, just us and got to spend around 15 minutes or so. Truly something to experience at least once! It's not inexpensive but it was incredible and absolutely worth it!

Such an awesome experience. The helicopter ride was so cool and the dog sledding was a blast. I was a little sad there weren’t any puppies to pet, but that was not part of the description, just wishful thinking on my part. I would recommend a ski jacket, waterproof boots, and ski gloves for sure. Everyone was so nice and welcoming! It is expensive, but definitely a bucket list must!

Unfortunately we didn’t get to do this experience due to bad weather. We fully understand this happens. However - communication was poor. It was fairly obvious from the weather and the forecast that this trip would not proceed but we were told to still check in at allotted time - to stand in the rain - no cover provided. An earlier decision and better communication is needed - especially at the price paid!

Our pilot going up was okay, but not spectacular. The mushers camp and dogsledding were awesome. Ayanna(sp), our musher, was a sweetheart. All the kids at the camp were informative and friendly. A special treat was meeting a retired Iditarod sled dog. The return pilot, from Denmark or Sweden maybe, I think Tim was his name, was awesome as well. Informative and personable.
Rebecca_M, Jun 2026
Awesome it was great from starting to finish. The glacier was especially awesome. All we very helpful dogs were awesome
AmandaK, May 2026
Is it worth the money? Yes, yes and yes! So fun to fly to the dog camp, ride the dog sled around the glacier for about 1 1/2 miles, pet the dogs and then land on a different part of the Hubbard glacier!

Unfortunately the dog sledding portion of our experience was canceled due to visibility issues at the camp. We weren’t made aware
of this until we were loaded up on the van. If we had been made aware sooner, we probably would have looked for another excursion when we reached port in Juneau. Given the time of day, we still opted to do the glacier landing portion of the tour and it was great. Our pilot was Caleb and he was excellent.
Our primary reason for booking this experience was the dog sledding portion. As I understood, this portion gets canceled 40% of the time from what we overheard from staff. Be prepared for changes in the itinerary due to weather.

I went in mid-May so weather ended up being not great for the helicopter to make it up to the dogsledding portion and so the team contacted me and asked if I still wanted to continue with the glacier portion prior to pick-up. I said yes because this would be my first helicopter ride and glacier walk. Alex, our tour guide, did an amazing job of getting us safely to the glacier as well as educating us throughout the trip. I had a blast and even though I was refunded a portion because of the dogsledding cancellation, I will definitely be back and hopefully get to try the dogsledding again!
Elsa_A, May 2026
Excellent experience staff was excellent making sure we were properly taken care of from pickup to drop off. They made sure we were safe had the right shoe cover for both deep snow and ice. We had sufficient time for the dog sled ride along with time to meet the dogs and time on the glacier. Very professional. Highly recommended
Tracy_S, Jul 2022
I know this activity is not cheap but it is worth every penny! Do not pass up this once in a lifetime activity! The helicopter ride was absolutely beautiful and the dog sledding experience was fantastic! Both Coastal Helicopters and The AK Dog Sledding company was very personable and professional! Hubby and I and our teenaged kids had a BLAST!
Josephine_S, Jun 2022
this was a fantastic trip. The helicoptor ride to and from the glacier was wonderful to see the scenery so clearly. I'm not used to walking in snow especially thick soft 4" snow and took a nose dive which only brought me up laughing since it was so soft. The dogs are great to watch and I would have liked to have pet them more but couldn't walk well. Wonderful trip.

The helicopter ride, the glacier and the dog sledding all of the above was simply amazing. I will hold this memory forever.
Leslia_R, Jul 2019
We had an awesome adventure from the helicopter ride to the dogsledding to the glaciers. Adrian was our dogsled master and he was fantastic. He told us about the dogs, where they come from, their background. The helicopter ride over the glaciers and then onto the glacier was mind blowing. We were a party of four and would totally recommend this experience.
Kerry_L, Jul 2019
We had a skilled pilot who narrated about the Herbert glacier and area, we landed at the Alaskan Icefield Expeditions area where Acacia Hammel was our guide on a dog sled ride....what an awesome experience....on the flight back we landed on another glacier and got to walk around....took some amazing pictures...definitely a highlight of our trip!!
RUTH_S, Jul 2019
Excellent service. Smooth helicopter ride to the Dog area. Acacia Hammel was our excellent guide and was very informative to educate us in the dog sled adventure.
Jennifer_G, Jul 2019
Great experience... highly recommend a helicopter ride to the glacier. Staff was friendly and ride had spectacular views of the glacier.
Nancy_H, Jun 2019
Great time dog sledding. Enjoyed the ride and petting the puppies afterwards. Beautiful ride to the glacier in the helicopter.
You do need warm clothes. I wore my down coat, beanie, and thick gloves. They give you shoes to wear over your shoes, so no need to buy waterproof shoes.
