Wonderful experience for our whole family. The helicopter ride was very scenic and smooth. The kids enjoyed dog sledding and playing with the puppies ( although some puppies were quite rambunctious :).) there wasn’t any real walking/ touring of the glacier, we mainly spent time with the dogs, but we thoroughly enjoyed it!

Amazing experience! Our first booked tour was cancelled due to weather but the team rebooked us later in the day and worked really hard to get us up to the dog kennel safely! The dog kennel staff, helicopter pilots, and reception workers at check in were all so friendly and accommodating. This is an experience we will never forget and is absolutely worth the money. If you are on the fence about it- do it! You won’t regret it!
