Enjoy an authentic Alaskan helicopter flightseeing excursion in Skagway that combines the unmatched beauty of touring the expansive winter wilderness by air and playing with sled dogs on land. If it's your first time in Alaska, discover why this tour is an absolute must for travelers!
In Alaska, this helicopter tour is only the first step on this journey straight out of a Jack London novel. Your experienced pilot will fly you over the massive ice formations, deep-blue crevasses, and shimmering ice rivers of Alaska while pointing to the once-in-a-lifetime views out each window.
As you arrive at your destination, the majestic peaks, sculpted by glaciers, reveal themselves as you draw near the Denver Glacier sled dog camp, where a bustling scene of dogs, adorable pups, and dedicated staff comes into view.
Upon arriving at the dog camp, the friendly and knowledgeable staff will provide an informative demonstration, allowing you to help gear up the dogs and learn about their equipment. The musher will tell stories about the famous Iditarod race and will demonstrate how the dogs whisk them across the glacier. While you won't be riding the sled, you'll experience the thrill of watching as the huskies power through the crisp Alaskan snow.
Your Skagway shore excursion continues with time to interact with the sled dogs and their adorable husky puppies. Before your helicopter returns to base, be sure to capture some memorable photos with the Alaskan sled dogs in their snowy home.
This Skagway adventure includes approximately 30 minutes of helicopter time over the frozen glaciers and stunning scenery of Alaska, about 1 hour at the dog camp on the Juneau Icefield, and a demonstration of sledding techniques by professional mushers.
