An absolutely brilliant day out! You to see a huge amount of dramatic scenery and those huskys are wonderful. Do it sooner... not later

It was an amazing experience from the initial hike with the dogs, to puppy play time, and free time with the adult dogs. The views on the hike was magical in the snow. The fish stew was tasty and all the staff members were friendly and positive.

We booked the Puppy Training Experience as a family, including our 3-year-old, and it was a big disappointment. The tour involved walking in deep snow — something that was not clearly mentioned beforehand. It was extremely difficult for our youngest to manage, and I ended up staying behind with her in the yurt while the rest of the family continued. As a result, I missed most of the experience despite paying the full adult price. After the tour, I reached out to the company, but their response was dismissive and lacked empathy. They claimed that “light snow is normal” and that other children had no issues, ignoring the fact that every child’s ability is different and that clearer communication upfront could have prevented this. They also stated that because I didn’t complain during the tour, then just assume everything was fine. Unfortunately, this attitude shows a lack of understanding of customer care or flexibility. I appreciate that weather and trail conditions vary, but the company’s defensive and impersonal response made the experience even more disappointing. This tour is not suitable for families with young children, and the company’s approach to feedback does not inspire confidence. I would not recommend this activity to families looking for a genuine, inclusive experience.

Had a wonderful day! Pick up and drop off from a very central location. Time with the puppies on a training walk and exercise and then a hike with the older dogs. Lunch, a slice of cake and coffee were included. Friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommended!

What a fun experience! Had the best day with the dogs. We first took the puppies out for a walk which was a bit chaotic but so much fun. Then took a few older dogs out for a walk. Finally got to spend time in the dog yard and cuddle all the adults. They are very happy and loving dogs. Clearly well cared for and given plenty of affection all day. I was grateful for the waterproof clothes and boots they provide because it does get dirty. I highly recommend this tour. Especially if you’re a dog lover like me.

So much fun! A definite must do! We had the opportunity to play with, cuddle and experience the husky puppies up front and personal. They are all well cared for and respected. We played training games with them. Met the older puppies and took them for a walk. And then interacted with the older dogs who were also so excited to get cuddles! A delicious fish soup lunch followed the experience.

Fantastic experience with a very knowledgeable guide - I wasn't expecting to learn so much about huskies. You get so much time with puppies of all different ages and also time in the Dog Yard with the adult dogs, who are super sociable and love fuss!
