About this tour

Take to the skies above Alaska’s Chugach Mountains, then land on a glacier for a dogsled ride across the snow. This 120-minute Anchorage helicopter glacier dogsledding tour combines dramatic mountain views with a close-up look at the people and dogs behind Alaska’s mushing traditions.

Depart from Girdwood Airport and fly by helicopter to Punch Bowl Glacier, home to a summer dogsled camp.

How the score works and rating distribution in Anchorage
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.9. Top 21% in Anchorage means it ranks in the top 21% of tours in Anchorage by this score.
