Dogsledding fun! - We had a wonderful experience with our tour! Due to unexpected circumstances, the sledding trail was cut shorter (3.5 miles instead of the usual 5 miles) and the staff was so considerate in communicating this with us beforehand - they offered us the choices between refund, reschedule, or to keep the tour. We chose to keep the tour because of our tight schedule and it was well worth it! The musher, Tony, was very informative and friendly and sledding itself was a blast! We had lots of opportunities to play with the dogs and David, our photographer, captured all these moments beautifully. Very exciting! Would recommend!

Anytime you book a tour through Viator, you know it’s going to be amazing. - We had a great time. The tour guides took lots of pictures from different angles. The huskies are beautiful and we were fortunate to have magical snow during our experience.

Absolutely amazing - The dog sledding was amazing. Our guide was very informative and pleasant. Then we got to feed the dogs a treat, which he showed us how to do it. The dogs were very friendly and obedient. The only thing that was negative, we had trouble downloading our photos. The rest of the time it was wonderful.

Great Experience - Beautiful experience. Tony and his huskies are delightful. Hotel pick-up, a short drive, and we felt worlds away. He took us on a few miles' training run through the woods, explaining a lot of what he was doing along the way. The dogs are so happy and friendly - just magical! Exceeded expectations!

Amazing Dog Sled - This was a great adventure! The dos sled is amazing with Tony. He is very informative about the dogs and explains the process of mushing. They are very professional and pick you from your hotel and take you to the mushing trail. They also take great pics and send them to you. This Alaska adventure is highly recommended! David is awesome taking pictures.

Dog-sledding adventure of a lifetime - We had an exhilarating adventure with Tony and his huskies. The dogs were so very excited and once ready to go they became quiet and focused. Our five mile ride traversed a trail that took us through beautiful snow-laden trees. We learned from Nick about training the dogs to participate in sledding completion. Everything was perfect! The photos taken we uploaded quickly so we now have forever memories. We were picked up at our hotel and taken to a natural and remote site …. not a commercial spot with many people. There were just four of us and two at a time went on a 30 minute journey. Look no further for the best dog-sledding adventure. This experience far exceeded our expectation. The photographer took so many great photos, Thank you Tony and your wonderful and friendly Huskies.

Best Husky Dog Sledding & Mushing Experience - Tony, our musher, was just the best with his Alaskan and Siberian huskies! We had a great time going through the picturesque track that Tony made for us. All the huskies were so friendly and energetic that we wished we could adopt one. Heehee. David, our photographer, took some great shots for us to remember this amazing time we had. We’ll definitely recommed this to experience to our friends and family (actually, to anyone out there) who likes having an adventure. Hopefully, we can return next time and pay these guys a visit.

Back road mushing - We should have asked more questions but, they sent us a message to see if we wanted to do dog sledding, which we were wanting to do. Since we had booked a northern lights tour (which hadn’t happened yet) we went with them. We got added on last minute so even the guide didn’t know we would be there. He didn’t bring enough dogs because of that. The dogs were tired, so the adventure was slow. The photographer didn’t go on the 5 mile trip so we got a few pictures when we returned but, it we were cut off, and not even a full sleigh shot. He tried but, he is not professional (David)
