Overview

A Rare Combination of Iconic Alaska Experiences
This tour uniquely combines hands-on wildlife encounters, authentic dog sledding, and scenic Alaskan travel into one seamless, professionally guided day. Most tours offer one of these elements — this experience delivers all of them without feeling rushed.

Authentic, Hands-On Animal Encounters
Guests don’t just observe animals from a distance. They interact up close with reindeer, moose, alpacas, and sled dogs, creating meaningful, memorable moments that go far beyond photo stops.
Dog Sledding with Professional Mushers
This is not a staged demonstration. Guests work directly with experienced mushers and energetic sled dogs, with opportunities to ride or drive the sled themselves — depending on comfort level — for a truly immersive experience.
Designed for Comfort, Ease, and Access
Hotel pickup and drop-off, all necessary gear, and expert local guides are included. The logistics are handled so guests can fully focus on the experience.
