This is a once in a lifetime experience I was thinking about going to a kennel only but paying more to do it on a glacier is so worth it, the helicopter ride is awesome, the views you get, and dog sledding on a glacier was definitely outstanding
Amazing bucket list adventure! The view was incredible. The puppies were so cute and playful! Watch out they like to chew buckles and strings tho! My musher was so kind and informative. Even let my 8 year old on the back to mush and command the dogs.
Both the helicopter ride and the dog sledding experience on top of the glacier were amazing and so much fun. I was surprised by how much snow was still on the glacier during the summer. The dogs were smart, friendly, and full of energy. The sled ride on the snow was very smooth. When we occasionally went over small bumps, it felt very gentle, almost like driving over a small bump in a car. I noticed that the dogs in the back would even look back to check that everything was okay, which was so cute and impressive. All of the staff were friendly, kind, and helpful. They clearly knew every dog and each person had specific responsibilities. The dogs seemed excited and happy to run on the snow. Overall, it was a wonderful and unforgettable experience.
Amazing experience all around! Definitely one of the highlights of our vacation. The puppies are so adorable!
This was the highlight of our trip being able to go on Godwin glacier and see the beautiful dogs and ride on the sled and all the snow. Yes snow in June on top of the glacier . It was the most gorgeous scenic helicopter flight and I have been on many including Hawaii. Well worth the money. Don’t even hesitate, book the trip so thankful that we did.
Staff was amazing from check-in to dropping us off back in town. Pilot and flight was great. Folks on the glacier were amazing as well!! We lived the entire experience and would definitely recommend it!!
This was an amazing experience from the helicopter views to the dog sledding and interaction with the dogs, puppies and our guide. Worth every penny!!!!
If you can afford this breathtaking opportunity, seize it. Everyone on the staff — shuttle driver, desk agent, pilot, musher, and sled dogs — was genuinely friendly, helpful and professional. And the incomprehensible beauty atop the glacier —the senses scarce could take it in.
The highlight of our trip from the helicopter ride up to the entire dog sled experience. The pilots and mushers were all knowledgeable, fun and friendly. An experience we will never forget!
We had an absolutely amazing experience! A beautiful clear blue sky. Scenic helicopter ride and wonderful time with the puppies and dogs. Our musher was friendly and knowledgeable.
