5.00Jimmy was fantastic! He was so friendly and we could just feel the love he has for his dogs. Great conversation and learned so much about his dogs and sledding culture of Alaska.

5.00We had a great time learning about the sport of mushing and all about the Alaskan huskies. Jimmy was great and very informative. The dogs obey him very well. We would do it again.
Exceeded expectations :)

5.00This adventure honestly exceeded our expectations! We truly appreciated that the company provides gear, and this was one of the main reasons we booked. Our guide, Kristen Eckwright, was so warm and patient, sharing so much about it each of her dogs. They were THE sweetest we’ve ever interacted with and had so much personality (thinking of you Holly(wood)!). Highly recommend and if you’re lucky, you’ll be paired with Kristen and her family of dogs.

5.00Our family had a great time with Joe and Ashley as our mushers. Both were so friendly, informative and fun. Rod's gets you geared up perfectly, so you're fully prepared for the weather. You get time meeting the dog team and interacting with them at the half way point of the trip. Plenty of time for photos and dog cuddles. This was a great experience for us Floridians looking to experience some unique Alaska moments. Thank you Joe and Ashley!
Awesome experience with the dogs!

5.00Our experience with Deke was great! He gave us lots of information about the dogs, mushing, and Alaska. My daughter loved being able to meet the dogs and feed them snacks after the run. It was a great and uniquely Alaskan experience.
