Highlights
The most intimate summer dog sledding experience in Alaska! Our carts are specifically for dog mushing and seat just two people each for an authentic adventure. Your ride takes place on our own secluded, private training trails, surrounded by Alaska spruce and birch trees. These are the same trails we use to train for Iditarod in the winter! Our carts are 100% dog-powered, just like a sled, so you can take in the natural sounds around you, without any noisy motors or nearby traffic! After every run, we turn all the dogs loose to run around freely and interact with guests. Enjoy meeting and playing with our champion dogs in an open house-style tour, where questions are encouraged! Your visit also includes a tour of the kennel and a nature walk to our hand-built, wooden pavilion with a Denali view, for an interactive demonstration of our winter gear and race sled! We provide a complimentary snack and water for you to cool off from our summer fun. We can't wait to see you soon!

5Best dog sledding ever!!!
Our dog sledding tour with Alaskan Husky Adventures in Willow was easily the highlight of our entire trip. From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was absolutely unmatched. The team welcomed us warmly, ensured we were comfortable and properly geared up for the weather, and made us feel like family rather than just tourists. Our guide was phenomenal—not only incredibly skilled but deeply educated about the history of dog sledding, the Iditarod, and the unique landscape of Willow. They patiently answered all our questions and shared fascinating insights into mushing culture, which made the experience so much richer. You can tell how much they truly care about the dogs, who were energetic, happy, and clearly loved what they do. The ride itself was breathtaking, winding through stunning fall scenery with a perfectly managed team of Dogs. If you are looking for an authentic, educational, and hospitable Alaskan adventure, look no further than this incredible team. Also the cuttest puppies ever!!!We will definitely be back!
5If you're thinking about doing this tour ... DO IT!!!
Wonderful tour where we learned so much about what goes into preparing for the Iditarod race (for both the dogs and humans). Very informative and fun! Especially if you're a dog lover. We did the summer sled tour. Even though it was drizzling, we had a blast - and you get equipped with waterproof gear so you don't get mud on your clothes. We even got to visit with the brand new litter of puppies! Our guide, Dane, was phenomenal, and the dog team was even better! The pups deserve a raise in extra treats.
5Great experience.
Amazing place. The dogs (and people) were outstanding.
52yo and 4.5yo Approved!
We had so much fun on our first “big” activity of our Alaska trip. The experience was super accommodating for our family of 4 including a 2 year old and 4.5 year old. Both kiddos LOVED the ride and my husband and I particularly enjoyed talking with Dane about all things dog sledding. After the ride my 2 year old kept saying “one more time!” And my 4.5 year old said she wants to do this every time in Alaska and it wasn’t just good - it was amazing! I would absolutely recommend this experience to other. It was so much fun!
5THE BEST Tour you can imagine!!
This experience was better than I could ever imagine! From the time we arrived and spoke with Mathew the owner, to meeting the dogs and the dog handlers I felt that we had made the perfect choice for a Husky adventure. I would 1,000% recommend this tour. The ride was so fun and you could see how much the dogs enjoy what they do. We got to pet the dogs and hold some puppies. Please don't pass up this opportunity to tour with Alaskan Husky Adventures. Thank you so much Mathew and Liz for this amazing experiece!

About Anchorage
Anchorage is Alaska's largest city, set on Cook Inlet beneath the Chugach Mountains, with coastal trails, wildlife and long summer daylight.
Anchorage sits between Cook Inlet and the Chugach Mountains in south-central Alaska, and it is the state's largest city. It began as a railway construction camp in 1915, and the Good Friday earthquake of 1964, among the strongest ever recorded, reshaped it; Earthquake Park marks the story. The Anchorage Museum covers art, history and science, and the Alaska Native Heritage Center presents the state's Indigenous cultures.
