Day Tours: One-Hour Alaska Dog Sled Adventure
$180
One tour per person
One-Hour Tour
Available for any skill level
Time on the sled and on the trail will be between 50 mins to 1 hour and cover double the miles than the short ride tour. This longer tour offers guests more time on the sled with the musher and sled dogs on the trail for more photos, more time for stories and interaction with your musher. Dog lovers and photographers might choose this tour for a ‘bigger experience’ than our 30 minute short ride. Also, in this longer tour, you will also be invited to take turns riding the runners with your musher for a short distance if the musher deems it safe to do so.
Meet and greet the canine athletes in the team and in the Paws kennel. Your guide will stop and take photos of you on the trail with your camera. Wear clothes you don’t mind getting ‘doggy’ if you plan to interact with the sled dogs.
Learn all about raising Alaskan Huskies, a bit of the history of dog mushing, and/or what it takes to race a team of these fine athletes. Each of our guides is a professional musher who has dedicated many of their years to this sport whether as a lifestyle or in racing. Ask them about their relationship to their dogs, their races, their adventures on the trail. Each friendly face offers a wealth of knowledge and personal experience.
2 people will ride in the sled together – one in front of the other. We do not mix parties, so you will ride with someone from your own group. For the safety of dogs, mushers and guests, we will try to distribute weight so that no sled carries more than 450 lbs. If your group has several people, you should choose your riding partner so that a larger and smaller person rides together rather than 2 larger people in one sled. People over 250 lbs need to ride by themselves in the sled. You will need to know the weights of each passenger when booking your reservation. Single travelers will need to purchase 2 tickets.
A 100% deposit is required at the time of booking. A full refund will be issued for cancellations made more than two weeks prior to your booking. No refunds are offered for cancellations made within two weeks of your booking. Extenuating circumstances will be considered.
The tour date/time may be amended free of charge, provided there is space available.
