100% Worth Every Penny! - Absolutely hands down one of the best experiences we have had during our trip to Alaska! Every single person we encountered on this trip was friendly and helpful. The helicopter trip was fun (our first) and riding with Calvin on his sled and listening to the knowledge he’s gained working with the dogs and actually running the Iditarod last March was unforgettable! 100% recommend this tour!! Well worth the money! Thank you for the memories!

Like nothing I’ve ever done before! - If I could give this ten stars, I would. My husband, two girls (ages 5 and 8), and I did the summer dogsled tour. This was hands-down our favorite thing we did on any trip we’ve ever been on. Everyone was so friendly and professional, from people on the ground, helicopter pilots to dog mushers. Our musher Zion was especially great! We loved meeting all of the dogs and learning a lot about the dogs and the Iditarod. I would go back to Alaska just to do this again!

Once-in-a-Lifetime Experience and a Top-Notch Group!! - Absolutely phenomenal experience from start to finish! Every team member was super friendly, uber safe, and very knowledgeable. The helicopter ride itself is pretty breathtaking and the dogs / mushers / sled ride were just top notch. Shout out to Jess (excellent pilot-ing) and Calvin (super knowledgeable, engaging, and made the sled ride a total blast...who also just happened to compete in the Iditarod). Two thumbs up!!

Outstanding, and one in a lifetime experience in a punch bowl glacier. - Incredible experience! If you ever in your lifetime have the chance to take this trip DO IT! Our morning started with a beautiful drive along the Chugach Mountains, Kris our shuttle drive shared with us his family’s history of the area and answered many of our questions we had about the Turnagain Arm and the city of Anchorage. Kris, thank you for that dinner recommendation, truly fabulous food. I wont let your secret be known. As the fog clears our helicopter lifts off from a small mountain airstrip. The view instantly becomes breathtaking. With clear mountain streams, snow in the background and steep slopes surrounding the area. And then it happens, a glacier appears in the front view of the helicopter. Our pilot Jess, slowly reduces elevation and we land on glacier. The dogs instantly know what the arrival of the helicopter means, time to work. After introductions with all the dogs, and getting to learn all their names. We mount the sled. I just had know idea, absolutely incredible. The power, the speed, the stamina. Thank you all for this amazing experience. Truly outstanding.

Can’t top this!!! - Wow! Amazing experience! We took a helicopter to the glacier (and it wasn’t scary!). Got to meet actual Iditarod racers, dogs, and puppies, and did a 2 mile ‘run’ with the dogs. Learned so much. Would do it again in a heartbeat! Wonderful group of folks from front desk to top of glacier and back!

Fantastic helicopter ride up to Punchbowl Glacier. - We had a wonderful trip up to the Punchbowl Glacier. The helicopter ride was smooth and the pilot pointed out moose and a little bit about the hiking trail leading up to the Glaicer. The dog sledding on top of the Glacier was fantastic with very knowledgeable guides.

Fun with sled dogs and puppies! - This was the highlight of our trip. My 2 daughters (ages 9 and 11) both enjoyed meeting the happy, healthy sled dogs. We all had a blast getting to ride the sleds. The short helicopter ride to and from the glacier had breathtaking scenery. Even though this was expensive, it was an amazing experience. The half hour with the puppies was the highlight!!!

So much fun! Can’t wait to do dog sledding again. - Had an amazing experience and so grateful that the weather was sunny the day when we went up the glacier. The staff were very kind and the dogs were fun and energetic. The puppies were super adorable, too. Shout out to our shuttle driver, Cole, for taking us to the site and back to Anchorage. Thank you again!
