Leadership
Seward Helicopter Tours is family owned and operated. Travis Beals and Sarah Stokey have been running Seward Helicopters since the summer of 2013 and each day ask themselves how they could be so lucky to share such an amazing place with visitors around the world.
Travis and Sarah compete in Alaska's state sport, Dog Sledding, and have both run the 1,000-mile-long Iditarod sled dog race. Besides flying and dog sledding, Travis and Sarah are passionate about hiking, fishing, and paddle boarding across the state of Alaska.
Sarah Stokey
Director of Operations
Sarah moved to Alaska in 2010 to pursue a love of dog sledding. Little did she know that she'd fall in love not only with sled dogs but also with the Alaskan culture. Highly ambitious, Sarah took over operations of Seward Helicopter Tours in 2013 and has completed the 1000 mile Iditarod Sled Dog Race two times. Sarah loves her job because nothing is better than sharing Seward, Alaska with visitors from around the world.
Travis Beals
Director of Glacier Dog Sledding
Born and raised in Seward, Travis' passion for mushing fuels our glacier dog sledding operation. A 7-time Iditarod Finisher, Travis is known for his exceptional and meticulous dog care on the race trail. When not working on the glacier, Travis can be found either at his kennel in Seward, mountain biking, or out on the water fishing for salmon.
