Yellowknife Dog sledding tours

You can meet the dogs and enjoy learning about one of the most important modes of transport in the north. These dogs are essential to life in arctic conditions and were relied on for centuries to stay alive. You will understand the community love and respect for animals in the Northwest Territories.

When the time comes, you will slide into a cozy sled with you and a friend or two. The full team of twelve dogs will be set into action by your skilled musher who will guide the dog team into the forest as you circle the lake and head into the woods.
