gacruiser5 Posted August 29, 2011 #1 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Anyone used this company? Interested in dog sledding for our trip in May. Any recommendations on this company and others would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PennyAgain Posted August 29, 2011 #2 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Which company? Which town? The heli-dog sledding tours are the most often cancelled of any other flying tours due to weather issues. You must have a Plan B for what to do with that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gacruiser5 Posted August 29, 2011 Author #3 Share Posted August 29, 2011 http://www.alaskahelimush.com/ This is the company I was referring to. They have a great video on their website, but I know that doesn't necessarily mean a great tour. If anyone knows of them, please let me know. I do recognize it is cancelled a lot, but we will only be in Juneau a short time. I have a backup plan to visit Mendenhall Glacier if this doesn't work on that particular day. Thanks.

This is NOT the operator, they are booking agents. I suggest you "find" out who the actual operator is. There are 3 out of Juneau. For me, I never recommend booking agents in Alaska, you are far better off, getting your information and bookings direct from the vendors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gacruiser5 Posted August 29, 2011 Author #5 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Thanks Budget Queen. Can you tell me the three operators out of Juneau and if you recommend one over the others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trophy_23 Posted August 29, 2011 #6 Share Posted August 29, 2011 We went with Temsco in Juneau and it was a fantastic tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtebor Posted August 29, 2011 #7 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Just wondering how you know they are booking agents. I couldn't tell from their website and also had a few email exchanges with them this past week (whic they were very prompted). Just curious.

PennyAgain Posted August 29, 2011 #8 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Budget Queen really knows Alaska! I know Alaska but I read and take her advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budget Queen Posted August 30, 2011 #9 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Just wondering how you know they are booking agents. I couldn't tell from their website and also had a few email exchanges with them this past week (whic they were very prompted).Just curious. Because, they are not the helicopter companies out of Juneau. The three that are out of Juneau that run glacier dog sledding, are ERA, TEMSCO and Coastal. Out of Skagway there is only TEMSCO. I've flown with all three and they all will offer you an excellent tour. I suggest you take a look at websites, listings http://www.traveljuneau.com and find out what schedules are available and what tour works best for your overall plans.
