Alaska Helicopter and Dogsled Tour from Palmer
Make your way to the meeting point outside Anchorage or, for an additional fee, request pickup. Board the helicopter and enjoy birds’ eye views of some of Alaska’s most spectacular scenery as you fly to the glacier. After touching down, meet your team of sled dogs and get ready for an exhilarating ride across the glacier. Choose to stand on the runners and mush your own dog team or take it easy by sitting on the sled and letting the mushers run the team. After your dog sledding adventure, there’s time to chat with the mushers about their lives and dog-sledding exploits and to take photos with the cute canine athletes. The helicopter takes you back to the meeting point where your tour ends.
