It was beautiful, the puppies were very friendly, and it was an unforgettable experience; I highly recommend it.
Gracias!
Ben did an amazing job explaining everything to us about the dogs and their care. He also told us about the training for the Iditarod. He was a great guide.
We had an incredible time with Kate and the whole team. It was very informative and personable. The dogs are very well taken care of - and it shows with how excited they are to do the dog sledding. It was fun to take a tour around the site and learn about dog sledding history and how it connects back to Dallas Seavey. Would highly recommend if you’re a lover of dogs or animals. There were also reindeer on site to pet and feed. Do expect to get a little dirty but it’s well worth it.
The staff were helpful and friendly. Very knowledgeable about the dogs and the mushing experience. Spent time with the dogs after our ride and loved on them, they are all so sweet. Highly recommend!!
Oh this was just a fantastic & unique experience! Everyone was so friendly, the information you learn along the way is fascinating, the doggos have fun names, and Kate.. she’s likely the most beautiful human alive!
The AK sled dog tour was so much fun. We were able to visit and pet the dogs. The ranch had 80 kennels for the sled dogs The we got to drive the sled around the ranch trails. We learned about Dallas Seavey, the dog ranch owner and a 6 time Iditarod winner. The ranch/dog trainers were so nice and provided info about the dog training, food and what happens on the race. Highly recommend this tour.
An exhilarating ride! One of the windiest days of winter/spring, but we were well prepped by Salmonberry tours for the weather! The Seavey Kennel is extremely well kept and organized. Beautiful country, excited happy dogs and a staff ready to show you a good time.
This is the second time my family and I have done this tour and it was again fantastic. The dog sledding was fantastic with so many teams of powerful, but super friendly pups. Cooper did a fantastic job explaining a ton about the dogs, the Iditarod and all of the other sled races. We had a range of ages from 7 to 64 fun was had by all!!
Once in a lifetime experience. We had a great time mushing and cuddling with the dogs, learned a lot about dog mushing and Dallas’ journey and we even fed some reindeers. Fantastic experience.
Absolutely worth the trip! We had an amazing time. The guides Jess Carrie n Gabby were so friendly encouraging and knowledgeable. The dogs were so sweet and just happy to be on the trail. Highly highly recommend to everyone.
