Best thing we did in Alaska! - This was the best thing we did in Alaska! So unique, and informative. Seeing the dogs up close was really fun. The non motorized cart for non snowy conditions made all the difference. We are low to the ground and it really felt like a sled. It was fun to see the dog sledding life style and hear about the Iditarod. It was my 10 year old daughter and I. Highly recommended.

Great experience - Very fun and educational. We enjoyed learning about dog-sledding and the Iditarod. The ride itself was fun, but be prepared to get dirty if you go when there’s no snow. The host was very congenial and clearly loves what he does. The dogs also clearly love pulling the sled and seem very happy.

Check This Off Your Bucket List! Mush On! - Matthew and Liz gave our family of 6 adults a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We learned all about the Iditarod and what it takes to be a musher. We met their 55 Alaskan Huskies. We had an AMAZING 2 mile trail ride in a 2 person sled with Matt, Liz, and their 3rd musher steering 3 teams of 9 dogs each. The dogs were FAST and so happy to pull a sled! The trails thru the forest filled with Fall foliage was truly beautiful. Then we met a litter of Alaskan Husky puppies, and were able to climb in the puppy pen and let them crawl all over us. Nothing beats that experience! The Failors are the real deal and this is an authentic experience, not a tourist trap. The Failors take excellent care of their dogs, and the summer sled tours keep them in shape. Matthew is an Iditarod champion musher with an impressive trophy shelf. You'll have an incredible time, and I recommend Alaskan Husky Adventures very highly.

10 plus stars!! - Wow I would give 10 stars if I could! I definitely recommend coming here if your looking for a great sled dog experience. All the dogs were super friendly! We learned so much about sled dog racing and had an amazing time on the trail! Kacey was our guide and she did amazing, she introduced us to the team, talked about race stories and answered all our questions! Matthew definitely cares about his dogs which meant so much to us to know these dogs are well loved! I will be coming back for sure next year!!!!

MUST DO WHILE IN ALASKA - I was able complete a bucket list item and so happy I did. This was a wonderful experience. Matt was super cool when we had to end the experience early due to illness. If you are in Alaka this is a MUST do experience. Dogs are SO friendly. Motorhead gave kisses.

Great time ♥️ - The guide was great - told us lots about the dogs and mushing, we took the trip around with the dogs. They were beautiful and very sweet. We even were to see puppies 😁. In spite of the weather (heavy rain and mud), we had a great time🤗
