Seward Helicopters is the oldest operating Helicopter company is Seward. We know the Seward area and Godwin Glacier better than anyone else. We are locally owned and operated by long time residents of the Seward community. This small family business flys out of Seward exclusively so we make it our priority to experts in flying around this beautiful Alaskan coast.
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. Ride along on an easy, 2-mile dog sled ride, learn more about how these beautiful dogs are raised, then play in the snow and cuddle with the puppies.

5.00This experience was incredible! John, our helicopter pilot took us up to the glacier while showing us the sights from the air. The weather was drizzly and cold-perfect for meeting Matt, the Musher, who introduced us to all the amazing dogs, and then took us for a true dog sled ride. Afterwards we met 7 pups who will be trained for the Iditarod. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience all the way around
great adventure!!

5.00Helicopter ride was amazing. The operator did an amazing job taking off and landing the helicopter. The Huskies dogs and puppies were so sweet. Absolutely loved holding the puppies. They were so cute! The energy and excitement of these huskies was so exciting. The crew taking care of the huskies were incredible. Our musher was student in college studying to be a vet. What an incredible experience for him. I would highly recommend this excursion. I would love to do this again!

5.00A must do experience when visiting Seward, you will not be disappointed!! From the pick up to drop off the whole team provided an excellent service. Special mention to “Matt the Musher” for allowing us to experience his unique work. His devotion and knowledge of his dog team and sledding shone through and enabled us to immerse ourselves and learn about a world that we didn’t know existed! Certainly one of the highlights of our Alaskan land/sea tour!!
