The staff was very informative and gave us the full background of the Iditarod and dog sledding in general. We got to meet our whole team of dogs, pet them etc and took a fun pseudo dog sled tour thru the forest. We then enjoyed puppy petting time and had a class on the gear and dog clothing used during the process. The entire staff was very friendly and anxious to share their knowledge. We were lucky enough to have one of the lead dogs that won an Iditarod on our team. We loved this experience and highly recommend it!

It’s was so fun. And our guide was great. He was extremely knowledgeable. And the best part was holding the puppies and interacting with the fofs.

The crew were very organized and professional. However, it is too expensive for dogs pulling you on a gravel path in a circle.

We had a great time! The wheeled cart thing is covered during rain, which was nice. Staff takes pictures and a video of your group during the ride and shares it with you at the end. I learned so much and playing with the puppies was an added bonus.

The ride is pretty rough in places so people with back or neck issues be aware. Snuggling with pups is so much fun!

Wonderful experience in a gorgeous forested setting! We loved seeing the dogs doing what they love, learning about the Iditarod and snuggling the puppies. If I could give it more than five stars, I would.

Jennifer_M, Jul 2025
Very neat experience however the time on the dogs sled was short. Puppies were cute and dogs were friendly.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Hi Jennifer, sorry you thought the ride was too short. Our Alaskan huskies best temperature to run is 0 to -10 degrees. It's necessary for the saftey of our dogs to limit the trail to a very short distance with lots of stops to keep them cool!
Cynthia_R, Jul 2025
Extremely knowledgeable, accommodating, entertaining and friendly! Handicap accessible so highly recommend!
Kartick_S, Jul 2025
Well guided tour of the facilities and dog sleding. Well maintained facilities for the pups. Time well spent!
Britta_R, Jul 2025
This will be an experience my family will remember for many years! A favorite excursion in Alaska. The crew was so kind and knowledgeable, the kennels clean and organized, and the dogs were absolutely magnificent. We got to cuddle puppies, take a ride through the woods, learn about the Iditarod race and how they care for the dogs, see the equipment used, and meet the dog crew. All the dogs were sweet, well behaved and beyond adorable. Highly recommend for all dog lovers!
Heather_C, Jul 2025
This was an informative & fun family tour we chose at the last minute & we are SO glad we did! A morning spent with dogs is ALWAYS a good morning!
Kristin_C, Jul 2025
This was an outstanding experience. The staff were amazing and you could tell the animals were so well cared for and cared about!! We learned a lot, were able to cuddle the pups and give lots of pets to our dog sled team!!
Rhonda_M, Jul 2025
This was a great experience. The sledding (dry) is more a cart pull. While getting the idea of what the training that goes into the team. Fun for sure! Work out for the dogs none the less.
Eric_H, Jul 2025
Loved this!!! Unique to Alaska and had a fantastic time. Guide was fantastic and the host team at the kennels were terrific.
