Then it’s off on a scenic ride through snow covered fields, and birch forests eventually winding back to the kennel where we started. We will stop on the tour to take your photo and so you can change positions driving and riding on the sled. After the ride spend time petting the dogs as they run free in the yard.

Average tour time is approximately 1.5 hours total. Time on the sled is around 1 hour.

  • Tea and coffee included.
Additional Information

Embark on a delightful one hour dog sledding journey through the forest, immersing yourself in a timeless connection between humans and canines. Experience the thrill of the dogs as you arrive at the kennel and get a warm welcome from the team. Get acquainted with the dogs and learn about the nuances of the sled ride; after that, you and your guide will set off for a picturesque 6-mile trek together. If the settings are ideal, you’ll have exclusive access to the finest views of Denali! Your guide will take several pauses during the adventure for photo opportunities and to swap your position between standing and seated on the sled. Post the exhilarating ride, spend some quality time with the dogs, shower them with affection and pet them.

At Susuitna Sled Dog Adventures, dogs aren’t merely working animals, they are an integral part of our family. We take immense joy in introducing others to the fervour of these remarkable creatures and desire that you depart from our place holding the same reverence and admiration for them that we have.

Amazing! Book them! - We had a spectacular time sledding with Rohn and his dog team. The location is incredible, so serene and peaceful. Views of the mountains were so beautiful. Rohn was a great guide, we were in good hands and he answered all our many questions! Alyssa was so helpful and even rescheduled us when needed. The ride was exhilarating and they are a top knotch business. The fact that it is a family business - 2nd generation Iditarod is great . The dogs are so sweet and energetic too, well cared for and happy - you could tell they were thrilled to be out running. This was one of my favorite activities in Alaska! Do yourself a favor and book with them - it’s well worth it.

A Total Blast!!! - This was a 60th birthday to myself and it was money well spent. The dogs LOVE to run and were friendly. The ride was sooo much fun! The hour long ride was spectacular and since we had a clear day I got to see excellent views of Denali along the way. The not quite 2 hour trip from Anchorage was well worth it. Do yourself a favor and book with the Susitna Sled Dog Adventures! It was easy to book via their website. They were reasonably priced and the only outfit that would take a solo rider and not charge for two.

Great dog sled adventure! - We had such a great day at Susitna Kennels. Alyssa and Rohn were laid back and friendly and the dogs were wonderful. We got to spend a long time with the dogs which was very different from another dog sled experience I had in Fairbanks. All around great day and would love to sponsor a dog in the future.

Great passionate people - where should i start from, Alyssa and Rohn are great people. they have alot of passion for what they are doing. their dogs are so energetic and the good thing is that they offer tours late thru the season because they are located up north from Anchorage and the snow really melts slower there. Def recommend them if you want to have fun with your family.

Way too much fun! - My gal and I had an unforgettable time with Rohn, Alyssa, and their amazing dog team. Their knowledge and love for the dogs, mushing, and Alaska are contagious. The experience was such a great memory that we'll need to book next season and make it a tradition.
