After your sled ride, return to the kennel area to see the adorable puppies. Have time to play with the husky pups and pose for photos. Then learn about the supplies needed for the Iditarod, and watch a demonstration about harnesses, training, and race strategy for the dogs.

This was an amazing experience! My guide was amazing and the team (dogs) were so cute and playful. If you ever saw snow dogs or balto growing up, this should be on your list of things to to in Seward. You won’t regret it!

This is a cute little tour of the Ididarod culture in Alaska then a ride with a dog team on a metal cart. The kids even got to hold some puppies. The kids would tell you this was their favorite thing of the entire vacation.

Excellent experience. Guides were extremely helpful. Would do it again. Puppies were cute as hell. 6 stars.

My grandkids and kids loved everything every minute of the time they spent with the Wilderness Dog Sled and their team. They were so nice and it was very educational. Thank you

We did this event in 2019 and are glad to see they changed it up a little though both times were great.
Well versed team members who were friendly and enthusiastic! We loved the run along with meeting all the dogs.

Great tour! Guides were knowledgeable, sled ride was about 20 min, with time to meet the dogs and pups after, with an interesting presentation as well.
