What To Expect

Alaska Excursions

Your journey begins with an entertaining historic tour from your knowledgeable guide through downtown Skagway and along nine miles of stunning coastline to our Adventure Camp in Dyea. Kick off your visit with what we like to call a “Musher Talk.” We have been sharing our passion for dog sledding for years, and in that time we have gathered up the most frequently asked questions about the sport. In the Musher Talk, we will share the fascinating answers and welcome any additional questions you may have. Of course, we make sure you have plenty of time to play with our puppies! Your affections actually socialize these future athletes, which is essential to their racing success. After that, you will enjoy some time around the campfire and learn to create your own delicious treat as your guide teaches you the art of S’more roasting! This experience includes toasting the graham cracker, warming the chocolate, and roasting the perfect marshmallow, then combining it all for the most astounding S’more! Then you will have time to take a self-guided nature hike next to beautiful waterfalls and dense Alaskan forest or browse the gift shop and relax in our saloon with a deck overlooking the picturesque stream.

This is a good excursion for people with young children. With teenagers or just adults it wouldn't be much fun. Our son got to pet a couple of puppies and eat a smore. He enjoyed going to the gift shop afterwards to buy a dog stuffed animal. The staff here are friendly and polite. There is a little shop for snacks and toys for the kids, there is also a place to get coffee. The staff will take photos of your children with the dogs that you can purchase for a moderate fee.

Our driver Patrick was the only highlight of our excursion. He was friendly and funny and spent the hour-ish drive to and from the camp telling interesting stories and jokes. The interaction with the puppies was limited. Isabel gave us an interesting intro about sledding and racing but was reluctant to then actually provide much interaction with the dogs. She offered one 3 month old puppy to hold and pet but claimed the other pups were too aggressive for us. She promptly handed us over to Oliver who was supposed to introduce us to the 3-4 week old puppies. Again just a very limited effort to help us interact with the animals. Oliver didn’t seem to know much about the puppies. Then we seemed to be rushed over to the s’mores and away from the dogs. There is a nice little waterfall we were directed to in order to use up the rest of our time. Overall we were just very disappointed with the staff other than Patrick, who was great.

Response from Host

We are sorry to hear about your unpleasant experience on our Musher's Camp and S'more Roasting tour. The puppy time should consist of approximately 15-20 minutes of interaction, so we apologize for your time being cut short. However, we will pass on the positive review to Patrick. If you would like to discuss your experience further, feel free to contact our office directly. Thank you for your feedback.

What a great excursion! Our tour guide, Clint, was extra special. He lives in Skagway and shared the history of the town and the surrounding areas. When we got to the mushers camp, there was an informative presentation about mushing and the Iditarod. After that, we got to meet and hold some 3 month old puppies and then some one month old ones. They were cute and cuddly. It was an unforgettable experience.
