Experience the beauty of winter during the summer on this helicopter and sledding tour. Helicopter into a professional dog camp on top of the Godwin Glacier and meet great athletes, the Alaskan huskies and mushers while learning the ins and outs of Alaska’s state sport.

5.00Highly recommend this amazing tour operator! Excellent experience from beginning to end! Pro tip: if you are embarking on a cruise in Seward, ask for early boarding, drop you bags, and Seward Helicopter Tours will pick you up at the port for your 10 min helicopter ride to Godwin glacier and the dog camp surrounded by mountains. Rachel and her team at Turning Heads Kennels took us on a mile long loop on amazing snow, followed by meeting the puppies. Spectacular weather, spectacular five star service!!! Quick helicopter ride back to base - 90 minutes total. Shuttle ride back to port and back on ship after the highlight of our Alaska experience!
Quintessential Alaska!!

5.00Incredible experience! We had absolutely perfect weather, which made the helicopter flight so beautiful both to and from the glacier. The time with the huskys was so precious. Much praise and cuddles, which we loved. We also enjoyed learning and seeing each dog's personality both during our up-close interactions and during the ride. (King, Georgia, Yogi, Daisy..etc...loved them all! ) And it was so impressive to hear the Iditarod stories for those on our team who had run the race numerous times. Can't wait to follow the dogs and the Turning Heads Kennel team in future races! The mushers, pilots, office staff were all so kind and helpful! Thank you!!
This is a must do!!!!!!

5.00OMG we spent two weeks in Alaska, and this was the high point of the trip. A 100% must do. The location was great, very clean and very professional. We did not feel rush at any point and the dog camp and getting to ride on the back of the sled was way more than we could have hoped. Yes you do get to stand on the back and drive the sled. On the way down they took us out of way to see a bull moose that they had spotted. The expense is well worth the expense of this excursion
All parts were fantastic,...
