It was everything and... - It was everything and anything we expected! The guide was very responsive. They started slightly later but were immediately available on the phone so I wasn’t in the unknown. Once we got there, we were greeted by some of the house dogs, very friendly and cute! The company seems to take good care of the dogs and only lets them run twice and then changes the “crew” completely. Only 3 people per ride, so the others stayed in a warm winter tent and enjoyed a home made bread by the owner’s grandmother’s recipe. This family has been here forever and has a history deeply rooted in NWT. We mingled with other participants who told their stories and made some great recommendations about future attractions. Once it was our turn, we sat in the sleigh that had some blankets, and off we went! The owner followed on a snowmobile and pictured us from a distance. When we got back, we did some axe throwing, and I now know I suck at it :))) I highly recommend these guys to everyone!

Well worth the price - The dog sledding with north of 60 was a great experience, there is a lot of effort put into the comfort of the guests, it can be pretty cold when the dogs are going so I recommend dressing for the weather. We had a lot of fun and met some nice other people. The groups aren’t too big and there are refreshments when you are waiting and a couple of adorable non- sled dogs that will hang out. Beautiful property and very authentic experience

A wonderful experience on a sunny cold day - Take your warmest clothes and be prepared for a fast ride. It was nice to go into a warm hut for hot drinks and bannock.

The dog sledding tour was... - The dog sledding tour was really fun it was a beautiful day for it and while during the run exposed skin got a bit cold we could easily warm up. The dogs were really excited to work and the north of 60 team was very knowledgeable and helpful at every turn

Very honorable vendor. - The weather was minus 40 degrees F on the day of our reservation. The operator canceled the ride due to the extreme weather conditions which I am totally agree with. It will not be fun for the dogs, or rider and the operators. We get our refund and if we visit Yellowknife again, I will book with them in a heartbeat.

An amazing experience. - What an unbelievable experience. Kelly and her team are top notch. We were picked up at our Air B n B and off we went for an adventure of a lifetime. When we got to the the venue we were greated by the barking of some very happy and excited dogs. Kelly explained how things were going to work and then we could wait outside for our turn on the sled or wait inside the warm tent. We were the first to go up and they seated us and then the dogs took off. Like wow they just knew what they had to do and they were so happy doing it. We very much enjoyed the whole ride and the video that was taken of us at the end is the best souvenir ever. I can't say enough great things about this whole experience except you must try it and with this family run operation it is the best way to do something you will remember forever.
