Many dog sledding on glaciers are over by this time. I would also have a backup plan that is not dog sledding on a glacier.

I am aware it’s a possible cancellation but they are still offering them throughout that week. We did the private glacier tour last tome. I just wanted the three vendors if I take your advice and book the am one so I can attempt to call the others or make a secondary plan.

Thank you

:cool:

These flights do NOT cancel because of rain. They cancel due to visibility. IF it is clear, and raining, your flight will go.

 

You will NOT be dog sledding on Mendenhall glacier. The only vendor with those permits is TEMSCO. Coastal uses a dog camp on Herbert glacier.

Fact- glacier dog sledding is the most canceled Alaska tour, I always suggest people have back up plans, and schedule this at their first opportunity either Skagway or Juneau, if a priority- which in your case, it appears so. Upon cancellation, immediately get on the phone and see if any space in the next port. A "slight" edge, would also be to book this tour early in the port day, then have all three vendor numbers in Juneau, and keep calling for openings.

 

I agree, it is a waste of time to worry about and try and predict weather.

I am currently debating booking early sled riding time vs 2 pm sled riding time ...this is early September we are going. I read what you said about booking early then having phone number for 3 other vendors in Juneau. May I ask what the 3 vendors are
