What To Expect

Alaska X

Your journey begins with an entertaining historic tour from your knowledgeable guide through downtown Skagway and along nine miles of stunning coastline to our Musher’s Camp™ in Dyea. Next, hop into our specialized unimog for an exciting ride up our rugged mountain road, surrounded by glacially fed streams and waterfalls. At the top, your musher will greet you with a custom-designed wheeled summertime sled and a team of very excited Alaskan Huskies! Feel the power of these strong dogs as they whisk you down a mile-long, zig-zagging trail deep in the Tongass National Rainforest! After meeting your dog team, climb back into your unimog and enjoy the adventurous ride to a breathtaking overlook of the Dyea tidal flats. Depending on the month you just might see eagles, bears, seals, horseback riders, wild flowers, and of course snow-capped mountains. Your unimog will then bring you to what we like to call a “Kennel Talk.” We have been sharing our passion for dog sledding for years, and in that time we have gathered up the most frequently ask questions about the sport. In the Kennel 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. A crackling fire and a unique gift shop round out your visit. All of this in a spectacular Alaskan setting!

10/10 highly recommend. All around an amazing experience. Great pick up in town. Scenic ride to the mushers camp. Fun utv ride up to the dogs. 6 person cart for the sled dog ride which was awesome - definitely hold on and enjoy the last turn! Extra pit stop at the most amazing views of Skagway so bring a camera! The puppies were adorable. All of the staff warm and welcoming. It was more than I could have expected. Thank you so much!

Great time! Great weather, brings back memories of my childhood! They added a little extra stop that was great and also stopped in town if you wanted to shop and walk back to the ship!

I don't even have words for this (AND ALL OF ALASKA IS OTHER WORLDLY AND AMAZING)! From traveling to the dogs campsite, seeing them sitting on top of their cabin homes, seeing them jumping, howling and barking in anticipation of running....A.M.A.Z.I.N.G! Everyone was unbelievably nice, taking photos of the dogs for us and with us. If you love dogs, active dogs, and as they told us, "SUPER MUTTS," GO SEE THE SLED DOGS. Worth every penny!!
