    After receiving many warnings to be on time they started the tour over 1 hour late. The tour is terrible. The place is covered in feces and we had to listen for their 45 minutes dog race in Alaska that drained all our energy. The driver was someone without experience and fought with the ATV and dogs all the way during the ride. We spent more time stopped waiting for her to tell the dogs what to do and see the incoming traffic to cross the street than riding. We had to go with this family in the same ATV and when booked, not only we were promised sleds but also to do just us, no one else. I guess since the owner is opening lots of business at the same time he is lacking in training his team and asking the clients is everything is ok and what they could improve. There were many other things I could list here but enough with this terrible experience.

    I recently went on a summer dog training tour with Snowhook Adventures. I didn’t know what to expect, but my overall experience was amazing. From the time I arrived I was greeted by friendly staff, who offered me gear and directed me where I needed to go. I was greeted by several retired dogs, which were happy to be pet and loved on. There were several other people on tour, ranging in ages from senior citizens all the way down to toddlers. Even though I was in a machine with other people, I felt that my experience was personalized and that all of my questions were answered. The UTV machine with its open top roll cage was perfect for allowing the passengers to see the action and experience the forest. I rode next to the driver during the first half of the dog tour and was able to hear some of the details about how she was commanding the dogs and training them to run a certain pace. It was obvious that she had a lot of experience and the dogs listened to her. We went along roadways, through a tunnel, into the forest, along the Alaska Railroad, and even stopped at the edge of a pond so the dogs could cool down in the water. Our guide then rested the dogs briefly in the shade and took pictures for us with the dogs. On the second half of the trip, I rode in the bed of the UTV and was able to stand up and hold onto the roll cage. This was super fun. When we returned to the dog kennel, I was offered the opportunity to help unharness some of the dogs and the guide stressed the importance of thanking the dogs for their dedication and reminded us to show them affection (which I was more than happy to do). The overall impression I had of the operation was that the dogs happiness and safety were first and foremost the priority. They each had their own space with a patio umbrella to keep them cool from the summer heat. There areas were cleaned and the dogs seemed to be very well taken care of. The dogs seemed happy, and even though there were at least a dozen unhooked from their houses, they stayed nearby and seemed to be more interested in following the humans around than running off into the woods. I can’t imagine the level of commitment it takes to manage over 80 dogs, but some how the guides at SnowHook have figured it out. So far, I’ve only travelled to Alaska in the summertime, but I think I will have to brave the winter just so I can come back for a winter dogsled ride. Thanks for the memories!

    Although it was a rainy day in October our group absolutely loved our dog sledding tour. For many, it was the best thing they did in Alaska. We paid for the lunch afterwards, which was great. The dogs were so friendly. We loved having time to hang out with them prior to the sled ride.

    Had an absolute blast and learned so much on our Fall Dog Sledding Adventure! Went for a bachelorette party and everyone loved it. Snowhook did a great job teaching us about the dogs, the sport, the history of dog sledding and the equipment before we went out on our tour. During the tour our guide was great and told us all about each of the dogs. It was amazing to watch the dogs in action and hear about their training and all their different personalities. We all want to go back in the winter to experience dog sledding in the snow!
