A must do experience when visiting Seward - A must do experience when visiting Seward, you will not be disappointed!! From the pick up to drop off the whole team provided an excellent service. Special mention to “Matt the Musher” for allowing us to experience his unique work. His devotion and knowledge of his dog team and sledding shone through and enabled us to immerse ourselves and learn about a world that we didn’t know existed! Certainly one of the highlights of our Alaskan land/sea tour!!

Highlight of my Alaska trip! - What a way to start the day! Rise over the harbour & a beautiful mountain to land on crisp snow covering an enclosed glacier. Nice people, friendly & enthusiastic dogs. The only Alaska experience to rival this one was a Kenai Fjords wildlife tour. Both from Seward.

An unforgettable experience! - What an amazing morning! From the helicopter ride where we spotted two moose and just the most incredible views to the thrilling dogsledding ride. It’s not every day you get to dogsled on a glacier and this was an absolute blast! Meeting all the dogs and getting to hold the puppies was just the cherry on top! It’s clear how much the team loves the pups! Our two teens still talk about this adventure!

A once in a lifetime experience in Alaska! - The 10-12 minute helicopter ride is great, but the experience with the dogs is incredible. You’re given a full hour experience on the glacier. Amari was my guide and he was very kind and knowledgeable. I got to spend a lot of time with the 5 week old puppies who wanted cuddles and attention.

Terrific experience - A short scenic helicopter flight followed by some adventurous dog sledding in stunning surroundings. We also got the opportunity to play with the puppies. A truly unforgettable experience, which is worth the price tag. All the staff were very dedicated and enthusiastic. We were picked up directly from the cruise terminal and everything worked flawlessly.

- On 17 July 2025 we took of from Seward helicopter base and flew to be on top of Godwin Glacier for Dog sledding . The best experience of my life . Though I was physically challenged and mobility impaired I was handled well . Even the flight to glacier was through beautiful scenic surrounding , then this being fag end of Alaska tour we have seen it all . FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE. 15 days in Alaskan experience on cruise and land was full of fun and adventures but for me Dog Sledding was the icing on the cake.
