What You'll Experience on Every Dogsled Tour
Dogsled & Helicopter Tours
The classic Alaskan adventure and our most popular tour! Partnered with Dallas Seavey's AK Sled Dog Tours (5-time Iditarod CHAMPION!) Drive your Champion Iditarod winning sled-dog team on real snow in the middle of summer surrounded by amazing scenery. Start this adventure with a spectacular helicopter ride over glaciers and icebergs. We often see moose, black bears, Dall sheep, and mountain goats. Land on a huge snowfield high on a glacier and enjoy a whole hour with Alaskan sled dogs and their mushers. Take the dog team for an exhilarating dogsled ride through real snow. You can stand on the runners and mush your own dog team if you want, or just sit on the sled and let the mushers run the team.
The length of this tour makes it perfect for the whole family, and we often see three-generation having fun together. After your dogsled tour, meet the canine athletes that pulled your sled, listen to stories about running sled dog races of over 1,000 miles long, meet the puppies, 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. We provide overboots so your shoes stay dry.

Seward Helicopter & Dogsled Tour
This experience connects you with Alaska’s sled-dog history and the legacy of the 1925 Nome Serum Run, when heroic mushers and dog teams carried life-saving medicine across the state from Seward to Nome. A defining moment that inspired today’s Iditarod. Spend a full hour with the dog teams and mushers. Drive your own sled behind an elite Iditarod dog team, stand on the runners and mush if you’d like, or relax in the sled and enjoy the ride across real summer snow—all surrounded by spectacular Kenai Fjords mountain scenery. Perfect for families, this Seward dog sledding experience lets you meet the canine athletes, play with the puppies, hear stories from real mushers, and take incredible photos on a glacier you can only reach by helicopter.
