What To Expect
Pickup starts 15 min prior to the departure times. We have 3 different docks and town to pick up at so please be ready so we will be able to get started on time. Stops are weather dependent and include waterfalls, historic sights, glaciers, alpine valleys, and breath taking views. We will stop where possible for any wild life along the way which could include bears, sheep, goats, marmots and lots more. Take a picture with the welcome to Alaska sign and the Yukon sign. Sled Dog adventure includes a petting yard for the puppies and a Yukon Mushing expert narration on the life of a musher. The vehicle the dogs pull is a side by side four wheeler that seats 5 with room for 2 to stand in the back. In order not to over tax the dogs this type of vehicle allows the musher to help the team up hills and good braking system for the down hills but the dogs do most of the pulling along the way. Your guide will instruct you on how to pan and provide a pan with pay dirt for you to try your luck. With a little help from us all our gold miners strike it rich and get to take gold back to show your friends. We can drop you off at the end of your tour at your ship or in town to enjoy our historic buildings and shopping.
