Godwin Glacier Seward, Alaska
Helicopter Seward Dog Mushing Tours
 Godwin dog sled tours. A exciting Alaskan outdoor adventure awaits you. You'll start with a scenic helicopter flight to the top of Godwin Glacier. After landing on the glacier you'll be met by an experienced dog mushing guide and a team of friendly sled dogs that have been anxiously awaiting your arrival. This dog sled ride on top of a glacier is a unique and unforgettable experience and would be the highlight of any Alaskan adventure tour vacation.
Alaska dog mushing is part of Alaska's culture and Seward, Alaska is the historical start of the famous Iditarod Sled Dog Trail. While atop the glacier our dog mushing guides will share their unique personal accounts of dog mushing in Alaska's backcountry and answer your dog sledding questions.
 When you're done dog mushing, some cute dog sled puppies will want some of your attention and petting. They love having their picture taken.
Included with your Seward dog sledding tour is a Godwin Glacier helicopter flight seeing trip. You'll enjoy the up-close views of the Chugach Mountain range and the pristine beauty of snow covered mountain tops, glacier-carved valleys, and a breathtaking view of Resurrection Bay. This unspoiled wilderness is also home to mountain goats, bears, moose and eagles that may be spotted along the way.
