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.
