    Had a wonderful day dogsledding in Yellowknife. Kelly picked us up from our hotel and took us to the venue. She was very friendly and welcomed our questions. Went for a dog sled ride that was so much fun and then enjoyed hot chocolate with her homemade Bannick. Beautiful and interesting way to spend the afternoon.

    If you come to Yellowknife, this is a must-see attraction. It was amazing to see the city, beautiful scenery and Aurora in my own eyes, and I really enjoyed it. It was a very good experience.

    We had a wonderful time sledding around Kam Lake. The dogs were very friendly, well behaved and eager to pull the sled. The log warm up cabin was very inviting. We enjoyed having bannock and warm drinks inside while listening to Winter’s father’s trapping and hunting stories. The whole adventure was very relaxing.

    I saw a dogsled demo in Alaska, but here you can actually ride in the sled and it’s really fun! Not a real long ride, but long enough, and I recommend a good had and sunglasses. We are dog lovers and dog owners and can say that it is totally humane and they take good care of their dogs.

  • Good experience.

    This involved a 20 minutes sled ride, watching the harnessing, but little interaction with the dogs. We were able to cuddle some puppies, though.

  • Lovely dogs for the dog sledding

    T this is a fun and safe activity for all members of the family. The dogs are very sweet and the people friendly and kind. Our concern was with the welfare of the dogs as we asked a couple of pointed questions about their weight and health and the questions were averted. The dogs seemed a little on the thin side to us.

  • A must do!

    I had a wonderful time meeting the family running this business, their dogs, and learning a bit about dog sledding. It is clear they care deeply for their dogs' well-being, and put the safety of the dogs first when making decisions about tours. I visited during unseasonably warm temps, and as a result some changes were made to the path our ride took and the number of dogs pulling the sled was increased to reduce the strain on the dogs. I also appreciated that they were willing to cancel tours if it wasn't safe for the dogs. It was comforting to know that these dogs were so well cared for. I enjoyed swapping stories about hunting and trapping while sharing some bannock and hot chocolate after the ride, and the dogs were all extremely friendly and clearly loved their work as much as they loved the attention they get from tourists.
