A nice and unique experience - The operation is highly professional, experienced and friendly. Our drivers to and from hotel were friendly and very engaging. The basecamp location is very unique and well maintained. Only suggestion is to better explain where restaurant is located within the property. No signage as to where it’s located and when ask the response of “across the street” is not clear or accurate. It’s on the other side of the property and a bit of a walk specially in icy conditions.

Loved it! - This was amazing. Our favorite was the dogs and the dog sledding. Both my kids now want to do that when they grow up! It was beyond beautiful up there. We also loved that there was so much to do between activities.

Great day trip - Both dogmusher and reindeer interaction guides were friendly and very knowledgeable, answering questions and providing lots of interesting information. We spent time before the dogsledding greeting the dogs and getting photos. Both guides took lots of pics of us so we had a great memento of the interactions and experience.

Pleasant Day with Dogs and Reindeer! - We went for a dog sled ride and thoroughly enjoyed the interaction with the dogs. They were very excited to go for the run. Our Musher was friendly and informative. After the dogsled ride we got to meet the reindeer! They let us feed them and pet them too.

Dog sled great but too much waiting around - Dog sledding was great! I didn’t rent a car so hotel pick up was why I chose this company. Everyone was super nice. Reindeer experience was okay. Too much waiting around time during the day.

Time allowed is excessive. - The activities and staff were amazing!! Both our musher and reindeer guide were so knowledgeable and patient. They answered so many questions and still were happy to share! Entire staff from pickup to check in to lunch were great. My rating comes from the fact that there was 4.5 hours where we were sitting around waiting. 1.5 hours before activity started, 1.5 hours after mushing and another 1.5 hours after reindeer experience before we were picked up to go back to town. Shorter duration would have opened our day up to see more of amazing Fairbanks.

Pricey for the activity ! - We were picked up from our hotel @9am, we arrived at the camp ~ 10sh. We checked in at the activity center and we are scheduled @ 12:30p for our dog sled ride. The ride is 2.5 miles and the activity lasted less than 30 minutes . Our next reindeers encounter activity is 2:30pm, so killed our time eating at latitude 66 resto ( despite of $20 per person voucher meal voucher). We found this activity too pricey . Try to find somewhere else. You may visit Pike’s Landing.. free to encounter with the reindeers. Will def. not recommended this to my friend and families for the price of activity .
