5.00Had Ron and Emma as our guides for the tour, they did an excellent job! They were caring and even on breaks took lots of photos of our group! As well as allowing us to help “guide” the sled. Dogs were great, amazing experience overall and would 100% recommend!
A True Alaskan Dog Sled Adventure with Kristen Eckwright

5.00Kristen Eckwright and her dog sled team were absolutely outstanding. From the moment we arrived, it was clear how much care, respect, and pride she puts into her dogs. They were healthy, happy, and clearly loved what they do. Kristen took the time to explain everything, answered questions without rushing, and made the whole experience feel personal and relaxed. The dogs were incredible to watch and even better to ride with. They worked as a true team and you could tell they trusted Kristen completely. The ride itself was smooth, exciting, and unforgettable. This was not just a dog sled ride, it was a real look into the bond between a musher and her dogs. If you are considering a dog sled experience, Kristen and her team set the bar high. Professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what they do. I would recommend her without hesitation and would do it again in a heartbeat.
Kristin was awesome and her dogs were incredible!
