The Top 4 Dog Sledding Tours in Anchorage

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to experience a dog sled ride? If so, then our selection of Anchorage dog sled tours will surely inspire you to take the plunge! Dog mushing dates back hundreds of years in these parts, and taking part in such an intrinsic part of Alaska’s heritage is an unparalleled thrill. Combine that with the epic scenery around Anchorage and you’re certainly set up for a day to remember! 

The two-part Anchorage Helicopter and Glacier Dogsled Tour includes an exhilarating helicopter flight over some of the region’s most picturesque spots, including Lake George and the Great Gorge of the Knik Glacier. As if that wasn’t enough, you’ll also experience the excitement and energy of a mushing camp, where powerful huskies will pull your customized sled across the gorgeous, snowy landscape of the glacier. 

If you want to include even more activity in your excursion, then consider the Anchorage Helicopter Glacier Dogsled & Lower Glacier Landing. As well as all the activities above, this tour also includes landing on a glacier and taking a guided walk across the surface’s varied terrain. Take in the dramatic ice walls and bright blue meltwater pools - take a bottle and you can even fill it with the freshest water direct from the glacier!

Anchorage dog sledding tours take place on the Knik Glacier which, thanks to its location, sees less rain than other Alaskan dog sledding spots - happily, this makes cancellations much less likely than in other parts of Alaska!
