Pam was excellent - funny, knowledgeable, and full of stories. Took us to extra spots for scenic pictures. Couldn’t have asked for more - thanks Pam!
We were told that the owner of the mushing camp/kennel was a previous Iditarod winner, so we were looking forward to an interesting presentation, or at least an opportunity to ask questions. The owner was not present during our visit, and there was really no information available on mushing. It was no different than a visit to a dog kennel. Although this part of the excursion was a big disappointment, we enjoyed everything else, particularly our very engaging tour guide Mariah.
Mariah was a great tour guide! She was extremely knowledgeable and gave warnings when a great photo opportunity was coming up, slowing down the coach if she could to make sure everyone was able to catch the memory.
This was a fantastic tour! We were not rushed and really got to explore and enjoy our time. Our tour guide, Trey, was the best! He told us historical facts and great stories! He even pointed out bears on the side of the road and took our picture with his phone and airdropped it to me when my phone was acting up! He’s the best! Highly recommended!
We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Mariah on this excursion! We booked through Viator but would book direct with tour operator going forward - the communication directly from them was great. The scenery was spectacular, the puppies adorable and the pace perfect for our group of 8! Fun fact learned : "there's the right way, the wrong way, and the Skagway!"
This was a great way to see the area above Skagway and learn more about the history. Drake was fantastic -knowledgeable and funny. He kept us entertained the entire time. I will note the puppies were from the local humane society and not Alaskan sled dog huskies, but they were still adorable and we did get to see the sled dogs they were training. The suspension bridge was unexpectedly great too. I would recommend the trip!
It’s fun and educational. The best part is the puppy camps. It’s so much fun to feed and hug the puppies! The driver /guide is very friendly. Highly recommended.
Tray was a great driver and tour guide. He provided valuable information while going the extra mile to make sure we had a great experience.
To be fair, Pam, our tour leader was fantastic. That being said, the company completely misrepresents what’s about to happen to you. We booked the tour to interact with husky puppies, there was zero interaction with husky puppies. When I say zero, I mean there was exactly no interaction with any huskies of any kind. You got to see them from a distance, and there was one in a cage near us. The bridge was fun, but everything else was a disaster
Thank you for your review and for the kind words about Pam — we’re pleased she made part of your day enjoyable and will share your feedback with her. The sled dog camp experience normally includes husky puppy interaction. Shortly before your visit, a parvovirus outbreak at the kennel and across much of the Yukon reduced the number of available puppies and required extra health precautions. The husky puppies that day were only two weeks old and too young for handling, so guests could see them but not interact directly. Guests were still able to interact with other puppies at the camp. We provided a refund to reflect the difference from our normal offering. We appreciate your feedback, as it helps us better inform future guests about potential variations due to health and safety factors beyond our control. We’re glad you enjoyed the bridge activity and hope to welcome you back when conditions allow for the full husky puppy experience. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts.
Our tour guide Pat was a hoot, giving lots of great information about the area, as well as entertaining stories. The puppies are adorable, though perhaps not as excited about us as we are about them. The views from the bus were breathtaking and we were blessed with great weather. The bridge was fun to walk across. Pat took pictures at all the lookouts. The bus seats were super comfy.
