Overview

This helicopter tour in Anchorage offers about two hours of flight and dogsledding on Punch Bowl Glacier. The trip begins at the Girdwood airport, where guests board a helicopter for a scenic 10-minute flight over the Chugach Mountains to a remote glacier camp. The camp is operated by the Seavey family, known for their Iditarod sled dog racing teams. At the camp, professional mushers introduce guests to Alaskan Huskies, including puppies, and explain the musher lifestyle and local mushing traditions. Participants then take part in a guided dogsled ride across the snow, with opportunities for photos while driving the sled and interacting with the dogs. The tour includes all necessary outerwear such as rain jackets, pants, fleece gloves, and boots that fit over shoes. The return flight brings guests back to Girdwood. All taxes and fees are included. Roundtrip shuttle service from Anchorage or Girdwood can be arranged for an extra charge by contacting the office. The tour operates on snow-covered glacier terrain, and appropriate clothing for cold or wet weather is recommended.
