This was our second tour with Alpine Air Alaska. Once again the trip exceeded our expectations. We were blessed once again with a spectacular sunny day. We had planned to do the 1 hour helicopter and glacier landing tour. What was nice is that they allowed us to decide at the last minute if we wanted to extend the tour... More

We decided to book our glacier dogsledding early in our trip to Alaska since that adventure is very dependent on the weather conditions, so we reserved our spot in April for our August trip. We flew into Anchorage on 8/23/11, spent the night, and went dogsledding 12:30 the next day. The weather was great, and the experience was incredible. All... More

My husband and I were married on the top of a glacier thanks to Alpine Air Alaska! By far the most amazing experience I have ever had... and the wedding was nice too! :) The staff at AAA are simply amazing, the ride was unforgettable and the pictures are beautiful. We could not have asked for a better wedding day!... More

I reserved the Glacier Dog Sledding Helicopter trip for August before starting a Holland America Alaska and Yukon trip. It was expensive, but wow!, it was worth it. The helicopter ride is short, but dramatic with incredible views. We arrived at the glacier dog camp in a semi-whiteout, foggy and a little scary. The dogs are so amazing ( so... More

Three generations of our family spent a week in Alaska. The helicopter/glacier/dogsledding with Alpine Air Alaska was on our last day, and was the highlight of the trip! Everyone we dealt with was friendly and professional. They gave us guidance on our clothing (it was a beautiful day, so we left some clothing behind- great advice!) They had great equipment-... More

We really wanted to experience dog sledding and this trip gave us both a chance to see a bit of Alaska's beauty from the air and be on a glacier with real dog sledding teams. The staff at Alpine Air are so helpful and they get your trip off to a great start. From the moment we took off in... More

My wife and I are in our seventies and with our son took the helicopter to the glacier for the dog sled ride. We can't express how much fun we had. This is one of the priceless things that you can do in your lifetime. Everyone involved was first class. I recommend it without reservation. If you go you will... More

My friends and I had the privledge to take the Helicopter ride and Dog Sledding adventure. They first geared us up with snow pants and boots. Then they helicoptered us to the top of a glacier mountain where we meet all 60 huskies. They even had huskie puppies that we could hold. The team on the glacier proceeded to teach... More

This is a must see attraction. We spent almost 2 hours dog sledding on a glacier dog and enjoying the views. We were able to hold one month old puppies, they were so cute!!! The helicopter flight was short, only 7 minutes one way but was worth spend money. I highly recommend Alpine Air Alaska. More
