Top Notch Tour

 "My girlfriend and I went on your excursion last week while on our Alaskan cruise, and I just wanted to say I had the most  amazing time!  The dogs are beautiful, and the speakers and mushers are highly informative.  Not to mention our driver Shiloh, she was entertaining, very approachable, and very patient.  So, I just wanted to thank all of you and let you know I will be recommending your tour to others!"

How do I get to the excursion?

If you are arriving by ship, we will pick you up on the cruise ship's dock.  If you are not arriving by ship, we will pick you up at a pre-arranged location.

How many people fit on a sled at once?

Six people can go together at once.

How do you run a dog sled in the summer?

Skagway is at sea level, so there is not enough snow to operate a regular sled from mid-April to mid-October.  To compensate for this, we drive a custom made wheeled dog sled on a one-mile wooded trail.

What should I wear on the tour?

We recommend you dress according to the weather.  However, the weather can quickly change.  Therefore, we recommend you dress in layers.  If needed, you can leave extra layers in the bus while you are on your excursion.  Rain ponchos will be provided in the event of wet weather.

How many dogs will pull the sled?

You will need to hang on to your seat because the sled will be pulled by a powerful, thrilling team of 14 to 16 dogs!
