Highlights
Outing Highlights
A brisk 2 km loop around the farm boundary
The actual taster loop covers roughly 2 kilometres and typically takes about ten minutes, though timing varies with snow conditions, the choice of dogs and any optional detours the musher may choose.
Comprehensive farm tour and hands‑on team work
Most of the hour is spent on a guided tour of the farm: meeting the dogs, seeing the kennels and — when bookings and timing allow — building your own team and returning them to their pens.
Drive yourself or ride with an expert musher
While many guests choose to mush themselves, you can request an experienced musher to guide the sleigh so hesitant participants still get the full safari experience.
