Alaska Fishing and Raft Adventures gets my highest recommendation for their dog sledding! We had a special situation arise while in Fairbanks and contacted Miklene about the dog sledding. She was able to work out an opportunity for us to participate in an afternoon trip to Goldstream Husky Sled Dog tours, and it was a high point of our trip. Andi and Sebastian were the stars of the day, and it was a special treat to interact with the dogs - who obviously couldn't wait to run! Don't hesitate to contact Alaska Fishing and Raft Adventures for their dog sledding options.

The dog sledding adventure was incredible. Carolyn was amazing, the dogs incredible abs despite the very cold weather, it was purely exhilarating. Eric was so welcoming and genuine as well. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

My friends and I traveled to Alaska last month and found this tour on a whim. We are SO lucky that we did - it was one of the highlights of our trip. As soon as we arrived, Sebi greeted us with a huge smile and we immediately felt welcome. They provided warmer clothing (gloves, boots, jackets, etc.) which was great even on the sunny day. We got the chance to meet the dogs and ride around on the sleds for over an hour (which is significantly more than most other tours in the area). It was so interesting learning more about mushing and their background. After our tour, they invited us in for coffee, hot chocolate, and cookies. This team at Goldstream Husky was so personable and genuinely welcoming, it was a remarkable morning. I would strongly recommend this trip to anyone that is in the area! We would all love to come back soon.

Our VIP Dog Sledding Tour was the highlight of my trip. For any dog lover this is the chance of a lifetime to interact with dogs and then get to take part in their livelihood. We had the opportunity to harness the dogs and pet them. We loved the sledding experience and our musher, Carrie, was PHENOMENAL! She is an ex Yukon racer and gave us a lot of great information about the dog sledding world. It was a true joy to watch these dogs run and do what they love to do. And a HUGE shout out and thank you to Andy for making this possible. If it wasn’t for his beautiful piece of property, this wouldn’t be possible. And last but not least a HUGE thank you to our driver, Greg (fisherman) for getting us to Nenana from our hotel. He was a host like no other and gave us great advice for enjoying our stay in Fairbanks. THIS IS A MUST DO TRIP!

GREAT EXPERIENCE. The staff made sure that we were well outfitted. They gave us a great education and understanding of their operation. We loved socializing with the dogs. I DO NOT AGREE with post that the dogs were inhumanly treated and malnourished. They get three well balanced square meals per day. They had perfect physiques much like any endurance athlete. The scenery was AMAZING. We definitely got our money's worth. WE WILL RETURN.

I visited the place with my mother and sister and we just had the most amazing time. We stayed there 10 days with the crew in the hut and got to experience dog sledding every day. The crew was really lovely and taught us everything they could about the dogs. How to read the emotions and how the dogs tell you, how they feel. All in all I had a wonderful holiday in the most amazing winter wonderland. Thanks to my dog team Ruby, Simba, Ice, Stryder, Jimmy and Rough for taking such good care of me and thanks to the crew for taking such good care for the dogs!!!

I had a wonderful and great dog sled experience in this place! I was really sceptical, when I came there, because last winter I saw some other yards in Norway, where the dogs weren’t well treated. But in this place the dogs are loved and the crew is taking a lot of care of them. The dogs only have to run, when they are healthy, the yard is really clean and the crew explained us a lot of other care-work, which they are doing for the dogs all day long. When they are working with the dogs, you can see, how comfortable the dogs were. It was lovely! They really understand the dogs und only want the best for them. I only can highly recommend the experience in this place, it was amazing. Much love, Xx <3

What a great time we had on our dog mushing adventure! My twin sister and I were treated to a very personal experience – our guide Spencer picked us up at our hotel and took us to Goldstream Husky where we met and played with the sled dogs, saw their kennels, learned how to harness them, and enjoyed an hour and a ½ tour through pristine forests and over frozen lakes. Our guides at Goldstream Husky ensured we had enough warm clothing (extra layers were added before heading out!) and provided insight into the sights we saw along the way. The scenery was breathtaking, and the dogs were enthusiastic, fit and well-cared for, and clearly loved their jobs!

Andi was so welcoming! He made us feel like family. He even informed us of an additional experience which was an event we had not planned on--watching sled dog races in Fairbanks! It was so much fun to watch! Marvin and Carrie, who were our "guides" on our ride were so helpful, even to the point of dressing us for our ride! Marvin led the way on his snow machine, and stopped periodically to take excellent photos of us on the sled. Carrie answered so many of our questions, as she was right behind us on the sled. We could not have had a better experience!!! We will never forget our time with our crew!!
