This was one of the highlights to my visit in Alaska. The operators were fantastic, from the van pick up to the folks at the base camp to the helicopter pilots to the folks handling the puppies to the dogsled captain. Just an all-around great several hours.

These guys are first class from greeting you at the cruise dock to narrating the city on the way to the helicopter to the actual ride and dog sled camp. LOTS of good info and such a fun thing to dogsled on the actual glacier vs just on a road. Highly highly recommended tour!

Just reinforcing the other negative reviews that your tour is not only dependent on weather, but the time you book as well. Our 8:30am was cancelled this morning, which fog definitely happens and is understandable. We knew that was a risk. However, when going getting off the ship we noticed they were flying again at 9:00am! We were literally penalized for not originally booking our slot 25min later. When asking for any openings to go later, they were of no help, and only said ‘Sorry - we are full today’ That’s incredibly frustrating to have no options all day only because you booked an earlier tour. So I would caution to booking an early time to give way to fog and have an option B,especially with highly disappointed children after they see other people being loaded into their vans to go on to their flights. It’s the kind of unprofessional service you expect on $25 bus tours, not $2,700 (that we paid months ago)! The tour guides at the port were extremely helpful for other options, unlike Coastal.

My group and I loved this excursion!!! It was the highlight of the trip. The views from the helicopter were unbelievable. The dog sledding was a once in a lifetime experience. I would do this excursion again!!! And again!!

We had a blast! Easy pickup and drop off, organized and detailed instructions, smooth ride, friendly people. My 7 year old really enjoyed the whole experience. Thank you and we highly recommend this excursion with Coastal Helicopters.

The helicopter flight over the mountains to the snow field was incredible! I saw at least 30 waterfalls. Our musher was friendly and knowledgeable. The dogsled tour was very fun. Overall, this was an easily accessible, once in a lifetime adventure that even my 84 year old grandmother was able to enjoy.

We recently took an excursion with Coastal Helicopters. From start to finish they were excellent. All the staff were so friendly and efficient. Unfortunately due to poor weather we couldn’t make the dog sledding part. I received a prompt refund of the balance with no trouble. The helicopter to the glacier was great though with a very competent and knowledgeable pilot. Oceania. I couldn’t recommend this company highly enough. Thank you for making our trip so memorable.

This was hands down our favorite excursion and well worth every penny!!! From the views in the helicopter, to the knowledge gained from experienced mushers, we loved every minute of this experience. Weather was perfect, glaciers were gorgeous, and the pups were adorable! Trust us when we say you HAVE to do this excursion when in Juneau!!! Also thank you Wade and all 11 of our dogs (even John), for taking us on a trip we will never forget! We miss your doggos already!
