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!

Our bus driver, Patrick was so knowledgeable and a great personality. The monster truck driver was very nice and watched out for our safety. Our musher was fabulous with us and the dogs. It was an amazing experience. I would have preferred a longer time in the store to get something to drink and time to search for gifts.

We had a great time with Jena as our guide. She was very knowledgeable and fun. The sled dogs were more than happy to accommodate all of us. A great experience to be pulled by professional racing dogs.

So fun. Wish dog sled ride was longer. It was barely 20 mins. Danny the tour guide was awesome! Beautiful scenery.
