Want to experience Alaskan sled dogs without committing to a full 2+ hour adventure? Our basic kennel tour provides a genuine glimpse into life in the dog yard. Spend up to an hour meeting our dogs, learning about their unique personalities, and seeing firsthand how we live and operate off-grid in a remote part of Alaska.
