Absolutely the best experience of a lifetime!
July 18, 2023
This by far was the best experience of a lifetime! Not only was the dog-sledding phenomenal but the extended tour of landing on a glacier was exhilarating and beautiful! This is a must-do excursion!

This tour was one of the highlights of our trip. Easy to find once you got off the ship. Staff was very helpful and friendly. I would highly recommend this shore excursion.

Great excursion. Highly recommend
July 16, 2018
This excursion was run very professionally and everything ran smoothly. Everyone I encountered was friendly. The helicopter ride was exceptional and the views were beautiful. Dog sledding was so fun. The added landing on a glacier is hard to describe except to say you feel as you have completely left civilization to a place of pure beauty. This excursion was worth the price and I highly recommend it.

Must do trip

If you have to decide on only one Excursion to take, this is the one. From the helicopter ride to the dogs. It was worth the money. It is pricey and not everyone can do it but we had an amazing time.

My 90 year mother, myself and 4 of her grandchildren went on this trip. We all fit in the chopper. This was by far our favorite excursion on our Alaska cruise. Protective waterproof boot covers were given to all of us, so no need to bring boots yourself. The kids helped mom into and out of the chopper since it is a little steep, but otherwise she did great. She's pretty mobile anyway. Kids loved the dogs. We also opted for the extra time on the glacier. We tasted glacier water!

Best of the Excursions

We did many and this one is one of two that didn't disappoint. We scheduled ours in the afternoon to decrease the chance of cancellation due to clouds; I'm glad we did, the first set of flights were cancelled on our day. Coastal Helicopters was very efficient and gave us plenty of time for photographs on the glacier and with the dogs. Our 10 yo son enjoyed it immensely.

Awesome Dog Day!
June 14, 2017
We had a fantastic time learning about the dogs at their training camp. It was fun to drive them, play with them and ask lots of questions. The dogs were incredibly friendly, as were the trainers! Enjoyed the helicopter ride and the glacier stop as well. Very memorable.

Expensive but worth it - highlight of our trip!

We thought our 5YO might get scared but they sat him next to the pilot and he had a blast. The views are awesome, although it's a little cramped inside (they had 2 people from another party ride with us). No bags with you on the helicopter but you can bring your phone or camera/SLR. The dog sled portion was very cool and you really have to hang on! We had the 1st tour of the day & the dogs were ready to run. My daughter took a turn mushing and they went slower so she didn't get scared. My wife just rode with our son in her lap. Kids got a kick out of getting to meet/pet each dogs. Both of the mushers (Darren and Eric) were very friendly and took a ton of photos of our family. The extended portion of the tour where you land on a glacier is worth it. We got to walk around and drink the water and got some spectacular photos. I wish we had brought some water bottles to take some back with us! Our pilot (Evan) was great and also took photos for us.

Amazing!
November 21, 2016
We took the tour in mid August 2016. We were lucky it was sunny and not cold. We were transported by a 12 passenger van to the helicopter site. After a brief safety instruction we were off to the dog sledding site which was located at the top of a glacier. The view of glaciers from the air was amazing! I was so touched. The sledding was fun and unique. My children took turns to be the assistant ""drivers"", and interact with the dogs. We love it! After the sledding, we flew to a lower glacier where we had the chance to walk on it, touch the ice and drink the water. We saw the crevasses up close; it made you feel the power of nature! The drivers, dog trainers, captants were all courteous and knowledgable. We enjoyed the tour very much! It's a rear opportunity to experience all things unique to Alaska. It's awesome!!

Ice & Huskies plus Bald Eagle bonus
August 06, 2016
Lots of time with the ""athletes."" Really learned a lot. Lots of time on the trail with the dogs. Really nice as trail time was all ice! I was soooo geeked! Lots of time on the lower glacier to explore and get photos in both locations. If you want to a Husky trail tour, then this is without question the one that should be on the ""Cruise Bucket List"". Road Trip to and from helipad was filled with hundreds of Bald Eagles!

All we can say is that it far exceeded our expectations. We absolutely loved the entire excursion. Jamie the pilot was very very good as well as Eric the dog musher. Both were very hospitable and tried very hard to ensure we had a great time. When we returned we asked if we could go back up...but they had other in line to go! hat's how good it was!
