Make this your number one thing to do in Alaska. Yes it's expensive but well worth the thrill of the helicopter ride, magnificent scenery, sledding, interaction with the dogs, and glacier landing. Thanks Bailey for an unforgettable experience!

To summarize this review into one word... WOW!!! This adventure was more than what me and my business partner had in mind. We called the morning of this tour last minuet. They made all the arrangements for us, and told us what we should expect. We showed up at they time that they asked, and within less than 10 min. we were sitting in the helicopter and taking off to go dog sledding.
The pilot Jeff, was super friendly. Made us feel comfortable before we took off, and gave us a great history of Anchorage and the surrounding villages from the air.
When we arrived at the destination to go dog sledding the landing was incredibly smooth and didn't feel the slightest bump when we touched down.
Upon landing 2 of the dog sledding guides were already there waiting for us. We hoped on their snowmobiles for a short and fun ride to the cabin to sign the waivers, get geared up. Snowhook Adventures who operated the dogsleds had all the gear necessary to stay warm, safe, and comfortable (snow suites, boots, helmets, face masks, and snow goggles). The dogs were extremely happy, friendly, and welcoming. We got to pet all of them and make friends with them before they got harnessed to take us through their race tracks.
After an amazing time dog sledding, the helicopter flew over head just as we were going back to their cabin to give hugs, high fives, and return the gear we used. Then we hopped back on the snow mobiles, got right into the helicopter, and enjoyed another fun, fast, and smooth ride back to the were we took off from.
Both companies had a great working relationship, they made us feel welcome, and were very appreciative of us being their customers. I highly recommend this experience to anybody who lives in AK and has never been/ or has been in a helicopter or been dog sledding, or anybody who is visiting and wants an unforgettable enjoyable fun adventure.
This is definitely a MUST do for anybody.
