Our Family group ranged in age from 17 to 79 and everyone agrees that The flight with Alpine Air and the Glacier Dog Sled Tour was the Highlight of our Trip to Alaska. This should be a top priority for an Alaskan vacation. The Alpine Air Crew were excellent. We felt very safe and secure in the hands of our... More

It's a busy week in Anchorage with the Iditarod & Tour of Anchorage x-c race, Run with the Reindeer etc. I had called a few days earlier but the flights were booked (also due to some re-schedules for cancelled flights earlier in the week when it was snowing). I wish I had written down the name of the person who... More

My wife and I did the dog sledding tour with Alpine Air. We went up to the glacier with another group of 4. The trip up was split into two flights with 3 people each. Luckily the flight is short enough that the second group doesn't have wait very long. Once we got to the Glacier we joined the first... More

This is a once in a lifetime experience. The dogs, the glacier, the helicopter ride. When you are racing across the glacier in the dog sleds after the majestic ride in the helicopter, the feeling can only be described as spiritual. If you can only do one thing in Alaska, do this!

What an experience! A helicopter ride to the glacier (too short), dog mushing and then hiked up a ridge at the top of the glacier for a ride down in a plastic toboggan that was faster than anything I ever experienced (it was so fast that I crashed and did a couple of rolls), so be prepared. We spent about... More

We used Alpine air to go to Seavy's Iditarod Dog sledding and were very pleased. They outfit you with an outer layer of wam gear, gloves and shoe covers. The helicopter tour was great, but I wish it was a longer flight. We saw a bear on our way to camp. I was pleasantly surprised to see how well cared... More

We took the helicopter to ride the sleds with the dogs and loved it. I had never been in a helicopter before and chuckled at what a baby I had been as it was so smooth. My 11 and 13 year olds loved it as well. There were week old puppies. I wish the helicopter ride was longer as well... More

My wife and I did the glacier dog sledding tour with Seavey Iditarod/Alpine Air in Girdwood. The entire tour was fantastic and so well organized. The folks at Alpine Air provided and fitted us with fleece gloves, waterproof jacket and pants, and glacier boots that fit over our hiking boots. I chose to do the dog sledding in Girdwood rather...

This company is great. I signed up through email and had a ton of questions which they responded to immediately. We signed up to go to the dog sledding camp and also fly over Prince William Sound. The dogsled camp is an amazing experience that everyone should try. It was even better because it was just my wife and I... More

My family and I had an amazing time dog sledding on Punchbowl Glacier with Alpine Alaska. This team provided a safe, fun and very exciting experience, and I highly recommend them! We loved talking to the team about mushing, holding the cute puppies, and of course enjoying the dog sledding! We had amazing weather - a perfect day! Thanks Alpine... More
