Can I book a cabin at Alaska Glacier Lodge since this is our departure location?

Absolutely! Call our reservations department for information about our Lodge accommodations and availability or visit our website www.akglacierlodge.com for more information 907-759-5006

Will everyone in my party be flying in the same helicopter?

Due to weight and balance configuration, we can never guarantee what seat or how many helicopters it may take to fly groups of 2 or more guests until check in. You are able to purchase a Private Flight to guarantee being in the same helicopter.

Is it cold on the glacier?

Our dogsled camp is located 4000ft high on a snow covered glacier field. The weather can be unpredictable at that altitude so we recommend being prepared for all weather types.

How much should we tip our pilot/guides?

We typically see guests tipping 5 - 10% to pilots/guides. Gratuity is not mandatory but is greatly appreciated!

Full description

Our most popular tour and the classic Alaskan adventure! Start with a scenic helicopter ride over glaciers and icebergs—keep an eye out for moose, bears, Dall sheep, and mountain goats. Land on a snowfield high on a glacier and spend an hour with Dallas Seavey’s Iditarod Champion sled dogs and their mushers. Ride through real snow, either driving your own team or relaxing in the sled. This unforgettable experience is great for all ages—we often see three generations enjoying it together. After the ride, meet the dogs, hear stories from mushers, visit the puppies, and take photos. Your helicopter ride back flies over deep crevasses and striking blue melt pools. We provide overboots to keep your shoes dry.
