2.Helicopter To a Dogsledding Experience

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 150 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $727

Fly from Juneau to Herbert Glacier, where a musher introduces you to Alaskan huskies before a dogsled ride across the ice. You can help steer from the runners or sit back. The helicopter flight, glacier landing, and mountain views are the main draw, while the sled ride itself may feel brief.

“Beautiful blue sky, white snow covered glacier, welcoming tour crew, huskies that love their job & willing to give joyful petting. Our husker was full of information about the glacier & his team. Our pilot was also full of information & made my first helicopter experience delightful.”

3.Helicopter to a Dogsledding Experience with a Glacier Landing

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 60 reviews · 3 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $860

Fly from Juneau to Herbert Glacier, where mushers introduce you to their sled dogs before a roughly 40-minute ride across the snow. Then land on exposed glacier ice for a guided walk, cold glacier water, and sweeping Juneau Icefield views. Coastal Helicopters provides transport, boots, and raincoats if needed.

“Excelente experiencia. Muy bien organizados, personal atento y amable, siempre dispuesto a contestar tus preguntas. La experiencia de la corrida en trineo tirado por perros fue completa pero un poco corta, lo que podemos entender porque no quieren explotar a los perros. Los perros estaban llenos de energía y eran muy amigables. El vuelo en helicóptero fue espectacular, las vistas aéreas de los picos nevados y los glaciares fueron de primera. El momento más emocionante fue cuando aterrizamos en un glaciar a caminar.”
