Itinerary
Begin your adventure with a moonlight sled ride behind our team of hardworking Alaska huskies. Feel the energy of the dogs as they pull you through the quiet winter landscape under the Alaskan night sky.
After your ride, return to the kennel for an up-close experience with the dogs. Meet our Alaska huskies, learn about their personalities, and discover what goes into caring for, training, and preparing a sled dog team. You’ll have time to interact with the dogs, ask questions, and take photos.
Then settle in and enjoy the Alaskan night sky with time dedicated to aurora viewing. When conditions are right, watch for the Northern Lights as they appear overhead—a perfect way to end an evening with the dogs.
