The dog sledding was the most amazing. Kevin and Tabitha were very friendly and had explained all in details and very much informative. They made us feel very welcomed and comfortable with all the dogs. We also did the northern lights. It was amazing. I definitely recommend Howling bay kennels. And also I don’t do reviews unless that I am very satisfied which is I am totally.

Even though the trip should be at least 1,5 hours according to a description, it took ~30 minutes. The trail doesn’t have any views. Just a trail in the forest where the only thing you see are the trees. Definitely NOT worth of that money.

Sorry you feel that way. We do clearly say the sled ride itself is approx 45 min. The rest of the time is for pictures, petting dogs and hotchocolate. Since you do feel this way I would actually like to make it right with and talk about a refund please contact me directly at 9073473600

Thoroughly enjoyed our time at Howling Bay; wife and I made the reservation in person while taking a drive in the area. Arranged for the wife to take a private tour the following morning. When we arrived my wife assisted Tabitha in selecting and harnessing the dogs and off they went. About half way down the trail, and after some instruction, Tabitha allowed my wife to drive the sled while she (Tabitha) sat as a passenger. Tabitha explained the details of their business, the care of the dogs, and took lots of photos of my wife on the sled and with the dogs. At the conclusion of the trip, my wife assisted in unharnessing the dogs and feeding them frozen chunks of salmon. While the dog sled trip was taking place, I stayed in the dome office with Kevin and his daughter. After learned that Kevin is a USMC vet, we exchanged military stories. Kevin and Tabitha run a top rate, family oriented business with plans to expand into other offerings. I highly recommend it if you are in the area.
