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.

It was a great experience to do the the family. The shuttle driver, Denise, was awesome and her dad jokes are next level. Plus she had great historical knowledge to drop on us. The puppies are so cute and full of life. The professional musher was generous with his time and answered all of our grandson's questions. Plus no day us bad with puppies. The surroundings are fantastic and very peaceful to be in. All in all a great adventure.

We enjoyed a wonderful day at the Musher's Camp in Skagway. The views to/from the camp were amazing and meeting and riding with these musher dogs was such a fun experience. The experience was very informative with learning the background of racing and how these beautiful dogs get to do their favorite activity...run! Max was a great guide and shared many interesting facts along our trip.

Sadly the write up and the actual experience were miles apart. Rose our tour guide was wonderful but the actual tour structure is very poor. Over 50% of the tour time will be spent with you in a bus driving to the actual camp. You get to play with puppies for perhaps 5 minutes, a 10 minute talk on dog sledding, a 5 minute talk on the slightly older dogs. We basically got to hold a puppy for no more than 2 minutes. S'more roasting was included with basic instructions after which you were left to your own to fumble through. Cannot in good conscience recommend this tour. Waste of money and highly overpriced for what is being offered. Again, the tour guide tried her best but the tour is very poor.
