Did this trip on 22nd May,2013 with my family. We had 2 kids - a 3yr old and an infant. The pilot Don Mann, is very friendly, and helped us considerably. He raised the flight very slowly so as not to cause any discomfort to our kids. Then gave ample time for us to do the dog sledging. That was... More

I have lived in Alaska for 3 years and have never seen anything like I saw on this trip. The pilot was awesome (a retired cop). The guys on the glacier that do the sled tour are awesome as well. Don't use another company, use this one!

I've lived in Ak for five years and this helicopter tour with a dog sled ride was the coolest thing I've done. This was worth every penny and my mom hasn't stopped smiling since the ride!

With very little notice they were able to arrange a tour. They also arranged for transportation from our hotel to the lodge where the helicopter was located. Everyone was nice and it was a great experience. We took the glacier tour and got a lot of great photos. However, we were disappointed that we did not see any wildlife. Reading... More

I was in Anchorage for a conference and had a small window to see some sights. I called a number of tour operators and the folks at Group 3 pulled off an AWESOME helicopter tour on very short notice. They took us over to the Knik Glacier, viewed a number of sights from a Moose to Sheep and that darn... More

This activity was the highlight of my daughter's and my trip to Alaska. When we go back we will do it again. The tour starts at a beautiful mountain lodge with a helicopter flight by Group 3 to a nearby glacier for dog sledding. Group 3 picks you up at your hotel in Anchorage and drives you to the lodge....

While visiting Alaska we wanted to take the kids to do something memorable. A helicopter ride and dog sledding was it. Although this compnay was a little more expensive, its well worth it. Who you go to the dog sledding with is who you are with the whole time. Its more of a private tour rather than a tourist tour.... More

I took my wife to anchorage for our anniversary, and decided to do this flight seeing tour, and chose the knik river lodge flight seeing tour. Was the first time my wife went on a helicopter.
