This experience was amazing! The view was beautiful and the dogs were so nice and cute! I am very picky when it comes to customer service especially coming from California, everyone was extremely nice and knowledgeable. Anything we needed answered they had great responses and very informative. They made our experience one of a kind and we Thank them so much!

Took my mom here for a kennel tour for her 60th birthday. She is the biggest dog lover and absolutely loved getting to meet and pet all the dogs and puppies! Was also great getting to learn a bit about the history of dog sledding and what all goes into the team and race. Will be back for a ride next time!

Visiting the kennel was a great experience! Even though we didn’t get to ride a sled, we got a full tour of the grounds, we got to meet (and pet!) so many sweet sled dogs, and even got to play with a new (~3 month old) litter of sled puppies! Dane was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the whole operation, sled racing, the dogs, and was training to participate in the Iditarod himself in 2025. Since it’s October the tour “group” was just my husband and myself, so we really got a personal experience. We loved every minute of it. Highly recommend!

Wonderful experience for my husband and I as dog lovers. Our guides were informative and personable. The dogs and puppies were to die for. Great views on the trail. Loved the gifts they offer for purchase and thrilled to be a part of the 17th dog!

We had so much fun! It’s obvious the dogs love what they do by how excited they get. The trainers were informative, the puppies were SO cute and the ride was great! We highly recommend it!

Loved it! Great experience from meeting the dogs to the ride. They are so well trained yet approachable and have distinct personalities. Dane was kind and educated us about the whole process. Highly recommend! And the puppies!

What a fun and interesting experience! Casey was such a wonderful guide who had so much personal knowledge of the Iditarod. The ride is through lush forest-magical! Then the cherry on top was a cuddle session with 7 puppies! I recommend this as a must do activity when visiting Alaska!

We had such an amazing time and a super experience with Matt, his staff and of course, the doggies! You will never experience such meaningful moments. From the time we pet the dogs, to the sled ride through the forest to learning about the Iditarod and of course holding the puppies, it was a delight! Matt is a rockstar with 12 Iditarod races under his belt- no easy feat! The surroundings were peaceful and beautiful and we are grateful for this once in a lifetime experience. Many thanks!!!
