Dog Sledding Adventure Visit Alaskan local Leslie's sled dog kennel. Income from tours allows Leslie to continue the grand tradition of dog sledding by training young mushers and helping them raise funds to compete in the annual Alaskan dog sled races that have become so popular all over the world. Two passengers in the sled husband's company to ride the same sled, sledding in the forest road, splashing white snowflakes, the process is quite thrilling (experience about 20-25 minutes)! While waiting for a ride, you'll also have the opportunity to get up close and personal with cute dogs. (From September to early November, in case of insufficient snowfall, the dog sled will be replaced by a dog pull ATV experience, about 10min.)

The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
