This was without a doubt everything I expected and more. From the friendly reservations and check-in process, to the awe-inspiring helicopter flight up to the glacier, to riding the sled and playing with the dogs, both adults and kids had the time of their lives. The whole tour lasted less than two hours, and the actual dogsled ride was just... More

Sometimes the money is worth the one time experience of it, however when you get there and the sled breaks and there is no back up, everyone is left to stare at each other wondering what to do next.....perhaps the $$$ isn't worth the experience after all.

We just got back from Alaska and the Dog Sled Tour was hoping to be the highlight of our trip. We booked the tour two months ago through Godwin Glacier Dog Sled Tours. If you are planning on booking this tour from the information you received on their website...beware. You don't get what you pay for. When I was researching... More

Pricey but fun. Learned about dog sledding. Helicopter ride provided a great view of Seward and wildlife in the mountains.

I wrote I review last summer about not getting my money back (450$). Since then, I was fully refunded. It took a ridiculous amount of time, but in fairness, I wanted to tell the end of the story. They should have handled it better, answering emails and phone calls instead of hiding and while I do understand that they had... More

Paid money upfront for tour. Godwin Glacier Dog Sled "mysteriously" had to cancel 3 times. Over one year later and still waiting on refund they promised.

I believe we took the tour on the last day it was offered in August as they were running out of snow. From the moment we stepped into the office until we left we have never seen more professional people who were adamant we not only had a good time but they also wanted us leave having learned so much...

We could not make the prepaid Dog Sled Tour due to the bad weather on the 2nd and 3rd of August 2010. We tried during weeks to reach them by phone and email and din't receive an answer. After a complain to the Chamber of Commerce, they finally said in an email that they were going to refund the 900.00$.... More

I, too, trusted these people and prepaid $900.00 for 2 of us to go on the tour which was toward the end of July,2010. The tour was canceled by them due to the heavy fog. Our money was never refunded although i called and spoke with someone who said they would. It went a few weeks and still no refund.... More
