Optional add-on:  Bonus stop on glacier 

Certain flights can be upgraded to add in a bonus glacier landing (dogsled camp is on the snow above the icy glaciers, so this is a chance to also land on the glacier ice).   
Only one aircraft per departure can do the upgrade, so the maximum number of people who can do that is 6 per tour time.

Optional add-on:  Whale Watch 

Add on a whale watch for $150 plus tax per person or get a private boat for up to six passengers for $950for the whole boat (2.5 hours on water).   We can connect the two tours so you go from heliport to marina or vice versa.   That saves you over an hour of ground transport and we handle all the details.
