Everyone here is so friendly! The sled dogs were full of energy, and it was such a fun activity. Snowmobiling was more challenging and physically demanding than I expected, but it was truly an unforgettable experience!

インストラクターは英語のみですが、とても親切に教えてくれ、安全に楽しめます。 犬たちもフレンドリーで、一緒に撮影も楽しめます。我々が行った時は犬ぞり後にパピーとの触れ合いサービスもあり大満足でした。

The best part of my trip to Yukon! The guide I met, Liam, is a passionate guy who absolutely loves his vocation. He's more than willing to share everything he knows about mushing and dogs after I asked, and I can feel his passion toward this profession from the tone, attitude, and knowledge content during the talk. And when this kind of guide ride the sled for you, best experience guaranteed!
