Favorite excursion for everyone in Alaska - No mistake about it, these dogs are living their best lives. They are bred to pull sleds, and they LOVE it. Their energy and excitement are contagious, and they are taken care of extremely well.
There were two sibling dogs (Mud & Dirt) in particular that matched my two sons’ personalities. It was fun to see what my boys would be like if reincarnated as dogs. My boys agreed and found them very entertaining. They also couldn’t get enough of the puppies.
The brief mushing demo was very informative and kept my kids’ attention. All around, very well done and perfect for kids with short attention spans.

Loved every minute - We took our grandchildren and had an AMAZING experience! Our guide, Lara, was so friendly, knowledgeable, and personable. The whole tour was organized so well, with enough time to enjoy each activity. We live in Anchorage and drove to Seward ONLY for this activity (4 hours round trip), and we all thought it was completely worth the drive!

A Great Experience - My husband, teenaged son, and I loved meeting the dogs and getting to cuddle with some of the puppies. The cart ride with the dogs pulling was fun and fascinating. The part explaining the Iditarod and what the dogs do was interesting. This was one of our favorite excursions on our trip. Highly recommended.

Now I’m a fan of dogs sledding - Wasn’t sure I would like this tour but landed up loving it. I always thought the dogs were kind of abused but actually learned that they love cold weather and their favorite is -10°. They also thought of running and actually because the team is so large they only pulled 20 pounds apiece. We had fun petting the dogs and even riding the sled a bit.

Highlight stop! - If you are in the Seward area this is a must-stop! Really enjoyed our time here. Highlight stop. It totally rained the whole time we were there. Nobody cared a bit. Just put on a raincoat and go meet the pups! The "cart" ride was a great experience. It felt like a substantial ride and the grounds are beautiful. The dogs seem so calm in the pens and then when it's time to run (or when they think it's time) they just come alive. Say hi to Gunnar to whom I offered a home in retirement.
