5.00My husband and I had the experience of a lifetime. Our driver Tyler was fantastic! We stopped several times for photo ops. Once at the camp we were greated with so many adorable puppies! You can tell that the sled dogs love what they do. Watching them jump and bark from excitement was contagious. The scenery was breathtaking. Even stopped at a lake to let the dogs drink and cool down! Panning for gold was neat, you're pretty much guaranteed to get gold flakes. A core memory for life!
Great tour

5.00We had a great time. We were the first group there (yea!) so no one there yet, but because of they the dogs were EXCITED. My 8 yo, who is used to large dogs, was completely engulfed by nipping, jumping dogs. I literally had to pull dogs off. He thought it was funny, but know that pups will be pups and it could be overwhelming for you get kids not used to dogs.

5.00Our guide Tyler was full of local knowledge and fun facts about Skagway and made the tour very interesting and entertaining throughout! The tour itself was great too, the drive from town to the Sled Dog Kennel was beautiful and Tyler made sure to stop for plenty of pictures where possible. The sled dogs were amazing and playing with the puppies was a personal highlight of ours. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Skagway.
Puppies and a ride pulled by sled dogs!

5.00This was the BEST dog sledding tour! We really appreciated that Klondike tours offered a small bus with a max group of 15-20, as there were several large buses going other places. We talked to several others who went on different tours and this one was by and far the best. ❤️ Apparently there are 5 different “musher training camps” near Skagway, so tours go to different ones. At Iditarod training camp, we saw puppies, rode on a side by side pulled by the sled dog team, learned more about dog sledding, and panned for gold while meeting the owner and Iditarod racer, Michelle. It was incredible! Our tour driver Tyler took us to a few scenic views and was full of great information on the drive. Would highly recommend this if you’re looking for a sled dog adventure!
