Absolutely amazing - Absolutely amazing. The hour and half flew by. Learned a lot about what it takes to be a musher and got to snuggle with the dogs.

Do This! - This was such a wonderfully entertaining and simultaneously educational experience. I highly recommend!

Highly Recommend - Stellar experience! Nathan gave us great information and the sled ride was a blast! The dogs seem so happy and relaxed. We enjoyed getting to pet each dog. The company shared the ways they look out for the pups' mental health and well-being. It was cool learning about the history of the race. This experience with the family kennel that has won many races was also a better value than other rides we researched for our trip. Call about arranging pick up with their shuttle.

Best part of our trip! - We had an outstanding time at Seaveys dogsleding. They picked us up at the train & dropped us off at the SeaLife center. The care for their dogs and the knowledge they shared was wonderful. The dogs all had their own personality and loved to run. No puppy yet when we were there but we got to play with a spaniel puppy and a retired dog. It was the best part of our trip. They even air dropped action pictures for us!

Excellent Introduction to Dog Sledding - Mitch Seavey has won the Iditerod Dog Sled Race three times. He graciously opens his kennels to tourists who come to learn about this amazing sport. His father Dan was a lawyer from the Midwest. As a child Dan enjoyed the TV exploits of Sergeant Preston of the Northwest Mounted Police and his lead sled dog, Yukon King. He loved the show so much that he moved to Alaska and lived out his dream of becoming a musher. Dan’s son Mitch began learning the sport as a child, and now, after finishing first in three Iditerod races, he is considered to be the best in the world. This year Mitch’s son Dallas entered the contest. When his lead dog became unable to compete, Mitch loaned Dallas his own lead dog, and Dallas won the 2024 Iditerod. This grueling race covers a distance equal to that between Miami and Washington, D.C. It is held in deep snow and temperatures that fall to -40° F. The Seaveys are a family of champions. Since we have visited the kennels of several of the Iditerod mushers on our visits to Alaska, we were shocked as we walked onto the grounds of the Seavey estate—shocked by its order and cleanliness. We saw a row of small wooden houses tall enough for a man to enter standing. Each one is equipped with water and electricity. These are the houses for Seavey’s dogs. Each dog has its own personality and preferences. The trainers know which dogs prefer to have a roommate and which prefer to be housed alone. The dogs receive the best possible care, but this doesn’t mean they are pampered. The skin of Alaskan huskies does better if it is never washed or brushed. The dogs often choose to sleep outside in the winter, because they prefer a temperature of about -10° F. They are athletes, and they are trained every day regardless of the weather. They receive a specially formulated high-protein diet and the most elaborate veterinary care. We got a glimpse inside this strange world of the Alaskan husky today, and as a part of their daily training, they pulled six of us tourists and a musher around a one-mile course. Hunter, our guide, gave us the most informative presentation about dog sled racing we have ever heard. We were honored today to visit with Seavey’s dogs. We got to pet them and thank them for the ride they gave us through a mysteriously beautiful Alaskan forest. We learned also that the real family of champions is not only the two-legged champions that drive the sled, but also the four-legged champions that pull it.

Seward dog sledding - So much fun to watch the dogs and musher work together. Dogs are well taken care of, and it shows. Nate and Laura were wonderful. Very informative and fun as well. Highly recommended.

Dog sled - The tour was very fun and informative Extremely impressed with the staff The dogs were very friendly and the scenery on the trip was beautiful.

A must do! - After reading some reviews, I wondered if this experience would be worth it without snow and I’m so glad I booked it! Hunter was our guide and you could see his love for what he does and of course his love for his adorable princess Macy! We found out so much information and he dressed me up in the gear the musher wears on the Ididarod. We got to go on the amazing ride and watch the dog do what they obviously love to do! They also recorded it and sent a short video of the ride to us! It was definitely a must do!

Fun and educational experience! - We had a great time, the guide was friendly and knowledgeable and seeing the dogs was an awesome experience.

GOOD!!! - Very interesting!!! Appreciated staff's knowledge. I was surprised by dog's size and was happy about their enthusiasm.
