A fun outing with the dogs - Nice ride. The guide was very knowledgeable and personable. The dogs were adorable. All-in-all a good time. I’d love to experience an actual sled ride sometime.

Great day with the pups! - Chase from Tukaway was a great guide. From the moment my friend and I arrived, he was so friendly and personable. We started out chatting in the yurt then he introduced us to his dogs one by one, and you can tell that he loves them all! We had great conversation throughout and cared about the small things like getting out to clean off the windshield several times or taking photos of us and the dogs. I got to spend time with the dogs afterward, then we had hot drinks inside the yurt before we went on our way. I highly recommend booking with this coop but especially with Chase!

Fun unique experience - My family did a fall foliage mush and it exceeded everyone’s expectations. It was a beautiful ride in the great outdoors. Chase was a fun, personable and informative guide. We learned so much about dog mushing and their training. It was so fun to see how excited the dogs were to get going. We had our three year old and our moms and it was truly a fun experience for all ages. 10 out of 10 recommend booking a tour with this company!

One hundred stars - This was one of the highlights of our whole week in Alaska that included the fjords and Denali! Chase was super knowledgeable and kind, and clearly cares deeply for his dogs who were all so sweet and amazing. We were worried about it being strange because there was no snow, it being the summer, but the dogs love working out and it was super cool. So hands on. We want to come see Chase and his dogs again when there is snow. I recommend this experience so highly! You must do it! You will NOT be disappointed. One hundred stars.

September sled dog ride - Had a great time on our sled dog trip. Chase, our driver, was very informative. It was amazing how excited the dogs got as Chase was hooking them up. They could not wait to get started.

Wonderful time learning about mushing - The experience was wonderful. Our guide was a former mushing competitor with his own team of dogs he still trains. While we missed the fall foliage, the snow was beautiful to travel through. We were provided special shoes because of the weather. I learned so much. Our guide was great about answering all of my questions.
