    Wonderful experience. Very knowledgeable, friendly staff. Would recommend this trip. Easy to find and not too far off the “beaten path” when the weather is not good.

  • Highly recommended for tour guides!

    Gliding through the snow on a sled pulled by beautiful canines speaks for itself. Any adventure can be ruined by a host just doing their job. We left feeling like we had just been hanging out with a friend doing what they love. If one is looking for bells and whistles, enjoy chatty guides pouring out useless information and receiving a free cup of hot chocolate is of great importance then this isn’t for you. If you want the freedom to love on multiple dogs, witness the work put into them and take in beautiful scenery this is it. Take the time to meditate on the fact these dogs weren’t born with the intelligence they possess. A lot of time, patience and dedication has been put in to give you an experience of a lifetime. Dogsledding was marked off of my bucket list and revisiting Howling Bay has been added. Forever grateful!!
