Dogs and views - I love dogs and I loved hearing the trainers speak about how they work with the sled dogs. The trip up the mountain was beautiful and I think better than the train bc our guide stopped and let us take pictures. The only think I would say that wasn’t “awesome” was the lunch,..not great, but I wasn’t mad about it

Trip to the Yukon from Skagway - Our driver Clay was very informative and passionate about the area we traveled through, we stopped at interesting and beautiful places for pictures and to see wildlife. The mushers camp was not as expected. One of the highlights in the brochure was to play with husky puppies, at the time they only had one and she was asleep. But it was neat seeing the dogs and how excited they got to pull the ATV. The lunch was pretty good and I recommend trying the Sweet Beaver shot. We also got to see black bears on the side of the road up close ( while safely in the bus).

Heavenly - The scenery is inexplicably beautiful! One of the best tours in Alaska! Although the dog sledding was more of an ATV ride (and no touching the pups), the tour as a whole was much better than expected! I just can't express enough how beyond gorgeous it was!

Dog Sledding Adventure – A Must-Do Experience! - Our dog sledding excursion was absolutely unforgettable! From start to finish, we had an incredible time, and a big part of that was thanks to our amazing tour guide, Drake. He kept us laughing the entire time with his fantastic sense of humor—including a hilarious 15-minute punch line that had everyone in stitches. Beyond the laughs, Drake was also incredibly knowledgeable about the area and made the experience feel personal and engaging. Plus, he’s a great photographer and helped us capture some amazing shots!
When we arrived at the dog sled camp, we were welcomed by Michelle, a true legend in the world of dog sledding. She placed 4th in the Iditarod, and it was such a privilege to learn from someone with that level of experience and passion. She shared so much insight about the sport and the dogs, and we even got to ride with one of her A-teams—an absolutely thrilling experience.
If you’re looking for an authentic, fun, and educational adventure in Alaska, this dog sledding tour is a must. Between Drake’s humor and Michelle’s expertise, it was the highlight of our trip!

Unforgettable experience - Absolutely fantastic trip. Noah the guide was funny, helpful, knowledgeable and took us to spectacular viewing points. The husky puppies were gorgeous along with the other non running dogs, followed by an exciting ride pulled along by the runners. We would all highly recommend it, well worth the cost.

Dog Sled Disappointment - Disappointing, dog sledding was not at all realistic…used a motorized vehicle, dogs were not huskies but were very friendly. Could not interact with puppies. Was part of our lunch stop, so was a very limited time…it was raining and that didn’t help…very muddy and messy. The rest of the tour was fine!

Excursion Canceled Day Before - Refund was Prompt - My main thing i wanted to do on our Alaskan Cruise was Dog Sledding. So excited when I found this full day excursion that would see some sights as well. The day before we arrived in Skagway I just happened to look at my phone and a text had somehow came through (in the middle of the ocean and I didn't even think I had it off airplane mode) but anyway, it let us know that the excursion was cancelled. No reason given but we were given the option to get a full refund or come in to see what else was of interest. We had to scramble last minute to see what was left available on the cruise, we opted for the train ride, as it was literally the only thing that was open. We had a great time, but this was extremely disappointing since I booked this a month out and we were counting on it. But the refund was prompt as it never even showed up as charged on my account. This is the first time I ever booked an excursion on trip advisor and this leaves me skeptical to try it again.

Bus tour great but lunch and dog mushing were poor. - The lunch stop was VERY RUSHED for those of us who were doing dog mushing. Our lunch including the slaw was kept in a warm oven. No iced tea left and asked but tank was never refilled so drank water.
Dogs were housed on concrete slabs and all of them were wet and muddy along with trail they mushed on. Puppies two or three were in enclosed separately fenced off from anything but viewing...no contact. You could pet the musher dogs if you were good with walking thru mud to reach them and okay with wet muddy hand after touching.
Didn't get to see the museum of taxidermy or gift shop as I would have had to forfit lunch.

This is not a train ride. - This is not a train ride. Nowhere do they say it’s a van ride. In fact they are careful to use every description except van. They use words like “transportation”. The van holds 30 people and is a rattle trap. Can’t hear the guide/driver and he drives very fast on very rough roads. They even use the exact same title as the train ride except the world train.

We should have been told... - We should have been told beforehand that the dogs would not be running that day. Not happy that I paid for an excursion we did not get.
