Helicopter tour with dog sledding

Hi, has anyone done the dog sledding on the Mendenhall glacier tour? It is a helicopter tour. Thanks

Yes, the dog sledding can only be done by helicopter on the glacier.

Thanks, has anyone actually done the helicopter tour of glacier and then dog sled camp?

There are several trip reports that include heli dogsledding. (its usually inluded in the first line of the report.)http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2368831

Most seem to be with Coastal. I think there are 3 vendors tho. ERA is one. Theyre listed on the town web site.

We went with this company and highly recommend it: http://www.temscoair.com/dog_sled_tours_juneau.php

One of my favorite tours, along with Denali. Absolutely loved it.

Thank you; this is who we are booked with..

We did a tour with ERA ten years ago. I believe we went to the Norris glacier. It was very expensive but absolutely a highlight of our trip.

we are with same company also

Can I ask people's opinions as to whether it is easier to prebook a tour with the operator online, or to wait until the ship is docked and see the operators on the pier?

I want to book the helicopter tour but just not sure whether to do it in advance or to wait?

I would pre-book. Chances of you getting an opening at the pier are extremely slim. If you decide to cancel you can get a refund as long as it is within the time frame that the company you book with gives you. It is one of the most cancelled excursions due to weather but it was absolutely the highlight of our trip! We used Coastal and they were a pleasure to work with.

I booked the helicopter tour of glacier with dog sledding. It was online with Princess cruiseline.

Think about how many people are getting off your ship in that tiny port. And add on even more if there are other ships in port. That's a lot of people and a lot of them want to do the helicopter ride but decided to put off the decision since the cost is so high. I wanted to make sure I was in on my day and at the time I wanted so I booked my helicopter ride for August 2017 back in September 2016.

So to quote "do you feel lucky punk?"

No, not particularly! Thank you for your input, I will prebook online...just in case.

At least we are lucky enough to be doing a back to back, so if weather is problematic going up, we should be able to reschedule for the trip home.

It's the one thing my 71 year old hubby wants to do, so I'm not planning on disappointing him!

Thanks all:D

You are smart to book online and pick the time you like
