Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Pass By: Knik River, Anchorage, AK, USA
Drive your own sled-dog team with 4 time Iditarod winner Dallas Seavey's team of mushers, handlers and champion dogs on real snow in the middle of summer surrounded by amazing scenery.
Start this adventure with a helicopter ride over glaciers and icebergs. We often see moose, black bears, Dall sheep and goats.
Land on a huge snow eld high on a glacier and enjoy a whole hour with champion sled dogs and their mushers that live here all summer. Take the dog team for an exhilarating ride through real snow. You can stand on the runners and mush your own dog team or just sit on the sled and let the mushers run the team.
After your dogsled tour meet the canine athletes that pulled your sled, listen to stories about running sled dog races of over a 1,000 miles long, and of course take pictures with your favorite dogs.
After the tour the helicopter takes you back to the lodge and you’ll fly over the lower glaciers where you can see the blue melt pools and the crevasses.

Driving the dog sled and being able to play with the dogs. Such affection and love for their trainers. I loved it and our guides genuinely loved the dogs and knew each by name and family.

Our pilot Jessy Tennant did a fantastic job. We were suppose to do the dog sled tour but the weather didn’t cooperate so he brought us to the glacier. Words can not describe the experience, the views were breathtaking. It was my husband and I first experience on a helicopter and Jessy did great. We would definitely do this tour again.

It was an excellent trip. When I booked it I thought it was a bit pricey, but it was worth every penny. It started with an on time pick up from our hotel, the staff when we arrived at the lodge were super helpful. The helicopter experience was really good and then all the dog sledding staff were happy, helpful and knowledgeable. Thank you all, we made some memories that will last a lifetime

The weather on the mountain was bad so we couldn’t go. It was a super gorgeous drive and had a great lunch and enjoyed the lodge. Appreciate they had our safety in mind and still made sure we made the best of it. Kind staff and beautiful area

We had the best tour. Josh our pilot was so nice and we felt very safe. The dog sledding was incredibly too and our musher his name started with a D. He was very helpful and told us about the dogs and life up there. On the flight back we stopped at the glacier and drank the fresh icy water. It was so beautiful and the 4 of us felt we had the best day ever. Highly recommended that tour. We live in Australia. Ver

This was a once in a lifetime adventure and even if I had the chance to go again, I'm not sure I would because it couldn't possibly get any better! Our pilot Michael was amazing and it's a trip we will never forget! You even get to love on the dogs!! 🐶

Michael was a great pilot. The views from the helicopter were awesome but sadly the dogsled portion of our trip was cut out due to clouds. Overall, still a great experience.
