Soar by helicopter over Juneau's stunning icefield and touch down on a working glacier where a dog sled team awaits. Mush across ancient ice with professional handlers — one of the most exhilarating, truly once-in-a-lifetime Alaskan experiences imaginable.
What to expect
A brief scenic helicopter flight from Juneau whisks you over emerald fjords and into the vast Juneau Icefield, landing you on a glacier at elevation. A team of eager huskies and their musher are waiting — you'll take the reins and mush across the pristine snow-covered ice. After your run, meet the pups up close and soak in panoramic icefield views before your return flight over the Tongass rainforest. The entire experience lasts roughly 2–2.5 hours from departure.
Good to know
Book well in advance — helicopter slots are strictly limited and this is Juneau's most in-demand experience. Weather-dependent; operators will communicate any changes promptly. Dress in warm, windproof layers; insulated boots are essential. Departs from Juneau's downtown helipad, a short walk from the cruise pier.
