My wife, daughter (age 7) and I had such an amazing time, and we cannot recommend Alaska Sled Dog Tours enough. This was truly a once in a lifetime experience. Of all the activities we pursued while we toured Alaska, this was sincerely the best. So, so glad we did this.
Thank you to the friendly and welcoming staff: Leddy, Martha, and Emily. They are passionate, knowledgeable, personable, and especially sweet with our daughter as they introduced her to the dogs. Many of the dogs are Iditarod CHAMPIONS (look up Dallas Seavey, these are his dogs).
We visited in late May, which means the dogs were training on the Knik Glacier which was only accessible by helicopter. The helicopter ride was exceptionally gorgeous. I recommend springing a few extra bucks to have your pilot land with you on the glacier, where you can get out and walk around.
