Winter Dog Sled Tour: Day or Night.
Start this 2-hour tour by getting geared up for the cold weather. You’ll then head into the dog yard and play with the dogs while the staff harnesses up the team. After a little instruction, you’ll take off for about an hour on a 6.5-mile trail, with a stop halfway to take photos of Mt. Denali if it’s visible. You’ll take turns driving the sled (with an experienced musher on hand!). Then return back for some cocoa and cuddling with retired sled dogs. Overseeing the operation are Rohn and Alyssa Buser. Rohn is a 3x Iditarod finisher and champion of multiple mid distances races. He is the son of Martin Buser, who has won the Iditarod 4 times and has the record for the most Iditarods (39 times), so Rohn literally grew up riding sleds! The dogs of Susuitna Sled Dog Adventures are more than working dogs, they are our family. We love sharing their passion with others and hope you leave our home filled with as much admiration and respect for these amazing animals as we are.

Kayak and Hike to Deep Blue, Glacially Carved Grant Lake, Alaska
Kayak on TWO amazing glacial lakes! This adventure begins with a paddle across Trail Lake in Historic Moose Pass. Our guides bring this small Alaskan town’s history to life. The stories of locals like Alaska Nellie, the ghost of gold miner Al and the famed Iditarod Trail provide plenty to ponder as you paddle along the shores of Trail Lake. After a short paddle south, glide to shore for a hike along a section of the Iditarod National Historic Trail as we head up and over the ridge to the stunning, emerald waters of Grant Lake. While moderately rated in regard to the terrain, there's no denying we're in wild Alaska along this route due to the rapid growth of the vegetation in the spring and summer along the trail. The feelings while staring out across Grant Lake are hard to describe and the views are breathtaking. We'll take some time to have lunch here, then we'll set out on kayaks once again to experience this area from the water before hiking back down the trail toward Moose Pass.

Escaping Anchorage Spring Wildlife Tour
Discover the breathtaking beauty of Alaska's stunning landscapes on a tour from Anchorage to the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center! Well… sort of. See, this is typically the worst 6 weeks in Anchorage, called "breakup season". Everything is melting and dirty, the temperature can't make up its mind and there is a lot of unpredictability. We figured if you've found yourself in "The Last Frontier" during these weeks you deserved a chance to get out of Anchorage. We'll keep you as clean as possible as we drive around the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center and introduce you to our favorite furry friends, making sure to save time for all the muculent photo ops. On our way back to Anchorage we'll stop in Girdwood for folks to grab snacks, souvenirs, and more as this fun, forest town decides it's just not that into Winter anymore. This tour will probably be the highlight of your trip since someone lied to you about April being a great time to come to Alaska, but we won't make any promises.

Alaska tour FAQs

Common questions about booking Alaska experiences through SimilarTours

When's the best time to book a glacier helicopter tour in Alaska?

Summer (June-August) is peak season for glacier tours - you'll have stable weather and longer daylight, but book 2-4 weeks ahead for popular slots. Winter trips like ice cave adventures are shorter window (November-March) and book up fast too. Check before you go to confirm current availability.

How far in advance should I book these tours?

Helicopter tours and multi-day expeditions typically require 3-6 weeks notice, sometimes more during peak summer. If you're planning a trip in July or August, sort your bookings as soon as your dates lock in.

Are these tours worth the cost?

If you're serious about glaciers, ice climbing, or seeing Denali - yes. Helicopter access is the only practical way to reach many of these landscapes, and guides handle all the technical safety. Day trips near Anchorage run shorter; multi-day expeditions give you genuine remoteness.

What should I bring or wear?

Layers, sturdy boots, and waterproof outerwear are non-negotiable. Most tour operators provide specialized gear (ice climbing equipment, wetsuits for paddle boarding, etc.), but confirm what's included when you book.

Can families do these tours?

Some helicopter tours and guided hikes accommodate families, but ice climbing and crevasse work have age/fitness minimums. Check the specific tour requirements - a glacier paddleboarding half-day is more family-friendly than a 6-day Brooks Range expedition.

Do I need my own gear or does the tour provide it?

Most helicopter and glacier tours (climbing, paddleboarding, dog sledding) include specialized equipment. For multi-day camping trips, confirm what's provided - glamping setups usually include shelter and bedding, but check before you go.

How do I get around Alaska between tours?

Anchorage is the hub for helicopter tours. Renting a car works for exploring the Seward Highway and nearby terrain, but reaching Brooks Range or backcountry requires flying. Some tour operators offer pickups from Anchorage hotels.
