Highlights
Outing Highlights
Small Groups, Closely Tuned to Nature
The operator runs small evening groups (max six people), a format that keeps the experience intimate and focused on wildlife, the dogs and the landscape rather than a large-tour feel.
Hands-On: Harnessing and Learning to Mush
The evening begins at the kennel with a short introduction to the dogs and to how to ‘mush’; guests harness the dogs and bring them to the teams before setting out, and drivers and passengers can swap places during the run.
One Hour of Sledding with Aurora Potential
The outing includes approximately one hour of sledding in the dark to maximize aurora-viewing opportunities; visibility of the northern lights depends on the weather on the night of your trip.
