Most tours last anywhere from a few hours to an entire day. However, they are more than just a ride on an authentic dog sled pulled by Huskies. Many tours also include lessons on the history of dog sled racing or lectures on the skills needed to survive in the Alaska wilderness. Also, most tours include a stop at the kennel, where participants can spend time with the sled dogs and learn about their history. Additionally, some tours are led by former Iditarod racers. The Iditarod is a famous sled dog race held in Alaska every year.

Prices vary by company and length of tour and range from 65 to 150 for adults and 35 to 80 for children. Most companies recommend bringing rain jackets and sunglasses and dressing in layers.

Adventurous travelers will appreciate the authenticity and excitement of an Alaskan sled dog tour. For your next vacation, consider a trip to Alaska to experience a real Alaskan sled dog tour.

Alaska has very few roads and the main transportation to get around the state is by bush plane.
Bush planes operate from all the major coastal cities and fly hunters, fishermen and nature observers into the remote regions of the awe-inspiring wilderness. Hunters seeking trophies are flown into alpine lakes to hunt moose, to barren tundra flats in search of caribou and to hunting camps and lodges throughout the state. Alaska is a fisherman-s paradise and planes are continually ferrying anglers to lakes and streams to test their skills against trout and salmon.

For the sightseer, a bush plane tour along the coast and into the mountains, gives the visitor a birds-eye view of a land rich with nature and beauty. Many vacationers are transported to the backcountry to set up camp for a personal adventure like no other.
