Highlight of my Alaskan vacation - On our Alaskan vacation we took the Summer Glacier Dogsledding tour from Alpine Air Alaska. We were very pleased with this excursion and it was one of my favorite experiences from Alaska. I would highly recommend taking this unique tour. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I felt very comfortable with the helicopter ride to and from the glacier/dog camp. It was exciting to see the dog camp and meet the folks who support the camp. And the best part was the dogsled ride. This was such a cool and unique experience to be out on a snow covered glacier riding a dog sled. Definitely a highlight of my Alaskan vacation. Please check them out and schedule this adventure if you can.

Alaskan Aviation Adventure - Absolutely awesome experience! The team was very accommodating with scheduling, shuttling us, and getting set up. The flights, sight seeing, glacier landings, and dog sledding was a once in a lifetime experience you won’t regret. The pilots and dog trainers were super chill and interesting to talk and learn from. It was so amazing we ended up doing two different tours two days in a row. I can’t recommend these guys and tours enough.

Don’t miss the dog sled tour - Amazing - Amazing morning with Alpine and the dog sled crew. Cole was great for the pick up/drop off and the ladies at the base were helpful getting us kitted out for the flight. Only a 7 minute Heli flight to Punchbowl glacier, and we met the mushers and dogs and rode the sled with the 16 dogs. Truly an amazing experience. Thanks

Highlight of Alaska Vacation! - Alpine Air took our family of 17 on a private flightseeing tour with glacier landing and dog sledding. They were accommodating and friendly. We had an amazing experience! Everyone said it was the highlight of the trip. The kids loved playing with the puppies too! I would recommend it to everyone as a must do when in Alaska!

Don’t miss out! Book this trip. - This one of the BEST experiences of our life! We’ve traveled the world and this was one of the coolest things we’ve ever done! The staff was very professional and safe. They worked hard to make sure we could have a flight before our cruise line departed. Even though we weee grounded the day before, they got us up the next morning. The dog sledding was unbelievable. It was neat standing on the glacier and seeing the bright blue water under our feet. Mushing was super fun and we did it for over 30minutes. We got as much time as we wanted with the dogs and puppies. If you only have one excursion to do….this is the one! Very safe, very friendly, and a great company all around. I can’t recommend this enough. We had such a fun time!!
