Joe Holod has been racing and guiding with sled dogs for over 10 years. He and his wife Melissa joined Pollux Aviation’s tour department in 2009, and it has grown into what is now Seward Helicopter Tours. We operate in Seward during the summer months giving Glacier Dog Sled Rides and Scenic Helicopter Flights. In the winter time we offer winter dog sled tours in the Willow, Alaska area. When we’re not in Seward, we offer scenic flights out of Wasilla, Alaska.
Our Mission is to provide visitors to our State with insightful experiences in Dog Mushing, and to use a helicopter to help display for them the beauty our State has to offer.
Seward Helicopter Tours is not just a tour operation – we’re also an active sled dog kennel. Joe started mushing around the state of Michigan when he was just 14 years old, traveling every weekend to make the next race. Since moving to Willow, Alaska he has competed in 120 mile and 200 mile races, and the 800 mile Serum Run, traveling by dog team all he way to Nome starting in Nenana along the Yukon River and the Iditarod Trail.
