Helicopter Glacier Dogsled: Fly & Mush on Juneau Icefield

Lift off by helicopter over Juneau's dramatic icefield, land on a glacier, and mush your own dogsled team across ancient blue ice. This is Alaska's most iconic bucket-list moment — no other experience combines flight, glacier, and sled dogs in one hour.

What to expect

Your pilot banks over turquoise crevasses and snowfields before setting down on the Juneau Icefield, one of North America's largest. A team of energetic huskies is ready at the sled camp — you'll take the reins and mush across the glacier yourself. Glacier guides explain the living science beneath your feet while you absorb 360° views of peaks and ice. The helicopter return offers a final sweeping aerial panorama of Southeast Alaska.

Good to know

Weather-dependent; operators monitor conditions closely and will reschedule if visibility is poor. Wear warm, waterproof layers regardless of season. Book well in advance — this is the most in-demand excursion in Juneau and slots sell out weeks ahead. All-aboard times are typically respected with priority return for helicopter guests.
