Helicopter and Glacier Dog Sledding Tours - Seward

Drive your sled-dog team on real snow

Experience Glacier Dog Sledding in Seward, Alaska! Our top-rated tour lets you drive a sled dog team on real snow, even in summer, surrounded by breathtaking scenery. Includes an exhilarating helicopter ride!

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.

Experience the Alaskan Adventure 

Mushing .png

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 Dallas Seavey’s AK Sled Dog Tours, led by a 6-time Iditarod Champion. 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. Lift off from Seward on a breathtaking helicopter flight over rugged peaks, hanging glaciers, and turquoise alpine lakes before landing on a vast snowfield high above the Harding Icefield.​After the tour, enjoy a scenic flight back to Seward with views of crevasses, blue melt pools, and glacier terrain. ​

This Seward Glacier Dog Sled Tour is a must-do and one of the most iconic summer adventures in Alaska.
