What Our Clients Say

Thanks so much for the adventure!
Our Musher, Jessica was outstanding. It was immediately obvious that she was very skilled in her craft but she was also a fantastic guide for us. She is a wealth of knowledge about local experiences and her communication with people is very clear, we loved her. Thanks again
Jeff Smith
Amazing experience from booking to the end.
Our first mushing experience was simply amazing. Top notch company here. Will definitely be our go to when we come to Alaska again
Anthony Moore
Going dog mushing with Paws for Adventure under the Aurora was an absolute dream come true.
It was one of those experiences where everything just felt right. The Northern Lights themselves? Absolutely stunning. There's nothing like the sight of them dancing across the sky. The whole adventure felt like a special secret between me, the dogs, and the night sky. I can't recommend it enough, it was more than just a trip, it was a real highlight of my life.
Jason Carswell
Our musher Tom was absolutely amazing.
Would definitely recommend him to our friends and family if they ever make the trip up here. Also the 1 hour mush was perfect timing. Got to truly enjoy the experience. And again, special shout out to Tom for making it great and having fun conversations with both my wife and I!
Stetson Smith
We highly recommend this business for all dogsledding adventures.
The dog sledding experience was thrilling and and we stayed warm and cozy in our two person sled. Richie had so many awesome stories to share from how he raises his dogs, to dog racing to how he came to Alaska. At the end, my husband and I both agreed that it was one of our favorite experiences in Fairbanks.
Samara Kohnen
The ride was a truly incredible experience and the highlight of our trip to Alaska.
I can't say enough amazing things about our dog sledding experience with Paws for Adventure and especially with our musher Olaf! He clearly takes amazing care of his dogs which is the most important, and we had just as much fun talking with him as we did sledding (and he entertained our many questions)!

Love these dogs!!
Myself and my partner from Perth Australia chose Paws For Adventure after a recommendation was given and we were very happy. We did a 1 hour sled ride through the winding snowy trails. The dogs were very friendly and loved the attention and all our pats. Our guide Chris was really friendly and great with the dogs. I was even able to stand on the back and guide the sled for the last half of the trip. We both highly recommend Paws For Adventure if you are looking for a place for dog sledding.

I have a new found respect for mushers and sled dogs
I have a new found respect for mushers and sled dogs. They run and mush in weather below 15 degrees for days. Rich, professional musher, was our guide. He brought 10 of his Alaskan huskies. They are smaller and leaner than you would think because they are long distance runners. One of them ran in the Iditarod twice and eight in the Yukon. He cares for his dogs and don’t see them as replaceable. This was nice to see. The dogs enjoyed us giving them love and attention.

The Paws team is very invested in the sport and the dogs
Wow. One of the highlights of both my Alaskan experience and my girlfriend’s. We visited in the summer months, but still VERY good. Chase was our tour guide and he was AWESOME. You could tell he was VERY invested in the sport and the dogs at the place. The dogs were unbelievably excited to see us, smell us, lick us, and pull us on the ATV. It was unreal how excited the dogs were just to pull us. Plus, when we went, they had PUPPIES. It was amazing. Highly recommend, 10/10, I’d do it again in a heartbeat, no doubt.

Paws for Adventure was started by Leslie Goodwin in 1998 after she fell in love with the art of dog mushing while teaching in a remote Alaska village. With the help of several other professional mushers and their dogs, Paws for Adventure offers one of the most authentic dog sled experiences in Alaska.
