Seward Alaska Glacier Dog Sled Tour

Seward Alaska Glacier Dog Sledding Tour Info

Your tour starts from Seward Airport for a short, scenic flight to the dog sledding camp on a remote glacier. The mushers will greet you at the helicopter and introduce you to the friendly Alaskan Huskies. The sled dogs are trained by our partner, Seavey’s Ididaride Kennel, owned by Mitch Seavey, a mushing legend and three-time Iditarod Champion. You’ll hear interesting facts about the dogs and the mushing lifestyle, how they care for the huskies and train them to pull.

Next, you’re on the sled for an exhilarating dog sled ride on the snow, surrounded by a gorgeous backdrop of glaciers and mountains. Stand on the runners and help drive the sled, or sit back and take in the views. Guests love meeting the affectionate dogs!

WHAT TO EXPECT:

Enjoy a complimentary shuttle from one of our many pickup locations in Seward. If you’re driving, park your vehicle at our hangar at the Seward Airport. Please arrive 30-minutes before your scheduled tour time. At the hangar, you’ll be outfitted for mushing with waterproof layers and over-boots, and take part in a short safety briefing before your flight.

You’ll have a great view from every seat to enjoy the incredible scenery. Your experienced pilot will provide knowledgeable commentary during your journey. After the completion of your flight, our courtesy van will be waiting for a complimentary transfer to your destination in Seward.

MORE:

When we land on the glacier, the dogs know exactly what it means—it’s time to run! They’ll be bouncing and barking with joy because it’s go-time! On the sled, you’ll travel in a 1-kilometer loop, either at a gentle trot or a healthy clip, depending on snow conditions and the kind of experience you want. Tours are suitable for all ages. We go in all conditions, even rain. It can be cool up on the glacier, so dress in layers, and we can provide waterproof layers and over-boots for you. Also, don’t forget your sunglasses, camera or GoPro!
