Our most popular tour

This is the ultimate Alaskan adventure! Just yourself and one or two friends or family members on a private helicopter tour to a remote glacier. See amazing scenery, land on the glacier and mush your own dog-team, all in one awesome adventure! Look at Dall sheep, mountain goats, moose and bear on the steep mountain slopes. One of the advantages of our helicopters is the almost unrestricted view so look up, down and around without wings being in the way of your best pictures.


Dogsledding on the glacier

After crossing the magnificent Lake George where icebergs the size of houses break off the face of Colony Glacier the helicopter will land on a glacier, right in the middle of some of the most dramatic mountain scenery in Alaska. Here you join a real Iditarod musher and his dog team for an exiting ride in a dogsled. Meet the new puppies, listen to stories from the trail, get an introduction about running sled dogs and be part of the action as they hook up a dog team. Enjoy your sled dog ride with plenty of opportunities to take pictures from this unforgettable experience and come back inspired by their incredible achievements and their unique relationship with their musher. You get to stand on the runners and control the sled, an experience shared by just a handful of people.
