Staff Pick Tours in Alaska

Each of the Alaska shore excursions we offer has been hand-picked and tested by our team, so you can consider us experts in the field. That’s why we’ve chosen our ‘Staff Picks’, highlighting the tours that we think offer an extra special experience.  

Juneau’s Helicopter Dogsledding with Extra Landing tour is the ultimate combo tour if you want to sample Alaska’s premier attractions - namely huskies, glaciers, and amazing aerial views. Mushing the expertly-trained huskies on top of a glacier is something most people only dream of. And the extra helicopter landing means you’ll get to see Herbert Glacier from a second vantage point, this one showcasing the glacier’s revered bright blue ice, huge ice shafts and crevasses. This is a tour that will absolutely hold pride of place in the memory banks. 

The Misty Fjords Flightseeing tour is a standout amongst our flightseeing trips. From the moment you board your bush plane to the second you return, you’ll be dazzled by the breathtaking views provided by the Alaskan landscape. Glide over deep fjords, taking in the deep green of the rainforest and the twinkling waters of remote lakes. Spot herds of mountain goats, black bears, wolves and deer. This is an epic adventure that’s suitable for the whole family. 

On the Taku Glacier Adventure by Air, Water & Ice, you’ll combine a thrilling airboat ride along the Taku River, with a soaring helicopter flight and you’ll even get to set foot on the Taku Glacier itself, seeing up-close the ice falls, crevasses and deep moulins you can only see when you’re - literally - on top of it.  Unforgettable!
