Guide-Assisted Dog Sledding in Yukon
Our signature half-day dog sledding tour is a small-group experience that goes far beyond a simple ride. You and your travel partner will share a dog team with a professional Yukon musher who has elite racing experience.
You’ll connect with our sled dogs, learn the fundamentals of mushing, and travel through peaceful winter landscapes. Our unique sled features a second handlebar, allowing your guide to stand behind you and provide hands-on support, instruction, and added safety.
You’ll experience the thrill of driving a dog team without the stress of managing one alone—all while building a genuine connection with your huskies.
