5.00This was the best experience! We spent about 30/40 minutes on the sled, got to help drive it and were able to see the whole before and after processes. We also got to help feed the dogs, hang out with them and warm up inside over some hot chocolate. The dogs are so happy and Tabitha is awesome at answering questions. I ended up spending about 3hrs here and it was definitely worth the price! This was a bucket list item for me and it absolutely exceeded my expectations!
Great experience

5.00We loved our experience with Tabitha and Howling Bay Kennel. She was very friendly and informative, and you could tell she really loved her dogs. Meeting (and petting) all the dogs was very fun; they were all so friendly and excited, and there were puppies! There wasn’t enough snow for a full sled experience but she took us out on the side by side atv and had the dogs hooked up to the front of it like a sled, which was still really cool. Getting to and from the kennels wasn’t an issue, I just reserved Uber/Lyft pickups ahead of time. I would definitely recommend this tour.
Fun and informative!

3.00There were few other options for dog mushing but we booked this higher priced your because it says it is 2 hours. Well, it was not. We were on sled for hardly 20 minutes, less than a mile. Whole things was over in about an 1 hour. Elsewhere we would have got same time on sled for much less.
Wonderful little...
