What a great canoeing adventure! We booked a day and a half of guided canoeing and stayed overnight at the lodge. A group of four adults who love dogs. We had a glorious afternoon of gentle canoeing the first afternoon taking off from behind the lodge followed by a delicious dinner of bison steak prepared by Manuela. Breakfast the next morning was excellent and we departed at 9am for a spectacular day of canoeing at a different location. Some fun rapids of various levels added a little excitement. Stopped for a great lunch and carried on for more gorgeous scenery by canoe. Jeff was a skillful guide and he brought the dog named Little One along for the day. As for the huge dog yard…We enjoyed helping to give the 124 dogs on the property their dinner and water in the evening and watching some return to their spots from being out for exercise in the larger pens. We went out for an evening walk with the 3 month old husky puppies and their mom which was a ton of fun. An incredible facility with a huge number of dogs who howl and bark from time to time but didn’t interrupt our sleep. A lot of them are retired and roam freely outside and inside the lodge and are very friendly. There’s even a bald eagle that visits regularly. If you are afraid of dogs, this is not the place for you. If you are comfortable with dogs, these ones are really happy and fun to be around. The lodge was clean, the rooms and shared bathrooms were spacious and very clean (and dog free). This is not a luxury spot - it’s a rustic lodge that is very comfortable and friendly. There’s a fridge for guests to use and a large common area to relax in and a large deck that was fabulous in the summer with a gorgeous view. We are keen to return for a winter dog sledding experience!

My wife and I canoed the Yukon River with MukTuk Adventures back in late August- early September. This time, I returned with a long-time friend for dogsledding. We did the week-long lodge-based dog musher rookie camp. I can honestly say it was another great wilderness experience. We learned how to: put booties on the dogs, harness the dogs and attach them to the G-line. We took our teams out on four days and sledded along the Yukon River and up to Kokanee Lake. In my view, running sled dogs is a transcendent experience. I'm so very glad I had MukTuk provided me that opportunity. Our last day of camp was a non-sledding day. We went to the Yukon Wildlife Preserve where Manuela took us on a tour of the facility. She then handed us off to Geoff, who took us to the local hot springs where we soaked some tired and sore muscles. Geoff and Manuela were once again wonderful hosts and a delight to be around. The food was great as always. I know of no cheesecake equal to Manuela's. I plan to return and canoe the remaining portion of the Yukon River. Geof and Manuela, again, you two could not have done better! Brian

The 4-day northern lights package at Muktuk was a dream come true for two dog lovers on a bucket list trip to see the northern lights. We had a blast meeting all the dogs, shooting through the snowy trail on dog sleds, visiting the wildlife preserve, fishing on the frozen lake, riding a snowmobile, and waiting for the northern lights every night. Thank you Manuela and Jeff for the fantastic experience, exceptional food, and lovely accommodations with a view of the northern lights. Another huge thanks to Manuela for guiding us on our dog sled trip and wildlife preserve visit, plus the awesome food we couldn't get enough of! Other tourists we met on our flight back told us they saw almost no animals at the wildlife preserve and we would have also missed most of them if it weren't for our expert guide with immense knowledge of local wildlife. We were so happy we got the chance to meet everyone and the dogs at Muktuk, and hope to be able to return some day.

Nothing could have prepared me for the beauty of this trip. We booked the whole day trip for dogsledding. From beginning to end it was just amazing. Our main guides Tyler and Colton were full on professionals, they treated the dogs with utmost respect, stopping for rest stops for them etc. I was very worried, being an animal lover, that they may be overworked. Both guides were so personable and were very conscious of the dogs needs which I loved. Not to mention the wonderful, loving, friendly dogs. We fell in love with each and every one of them. We were blessed with a cloudless, bright blue sky, no wind and off we went. About 40k in total there and back. Absolutely stunning scenery all the way there and back. Wonderful BBQ for lunch with excellent hot dogs and hamburgers. Thank you Tyler !! All in all FANTASTIC trip. Would definitely recommend this trip. Loved it all the way. Want to go back again for sure. June and Nelson

Jeff and Little One (not a husky) picked our family up from the Whitehorse airport and we were immediately made to feel at home by Jeff and Manuela. It was a delight to meet all of the dogs, who were very well cared for and excited to take us dog sledding. All of our adventures (dog sledding, yukon wildlife preserve, ice fishing and snowmobiling) were unforgettable experiences, and we were fortunate to catch a glimpse of the aurora. We thoroughly enjoyed the home cooked meals, our accommodation in the lodge, and the company of the owners and fellow travellers. Our daughter reluctantly went to say goodbye to every single husky she could find before we were taken back to the airport. We can’t thank Jeff and Manuela enough for their hospitality and would love to return one day.

We did the dogsled adventure. My wife and I did a half day of dog sledding on the river. Tyler was our guide and he was excellent. He stopped several times to make sure we were not having any problems. The really kool thing was the fact that we drove our own teams of four dogs. It was an incredible experience that we will never forget After we got back to the dogyard, we were invited into the lodge for some very tasty homemade soup and rolls. We are already making plans to return next winter for a trip through the forest. Manuela, the owner, was an excellent host.

Always a fantastic and new experience every time we go. Great adventure, fun, hospitality, saw the Northern lights and always love having lots of dog time.

Our week at Muktuk was fantastic! I can’t say enough about the hospitality of Jeff & Manuela, and of course all the dogs! They were so welcoming and the food is TOP NOTCH! If you think a Yukon adventure is something you’re interested in I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it!

From the minute we landed and met Manuela at the airport, we felt welcome. The lodge felt like a home away from home. Great conversation with other guests and lots of cuddles and kisses from the dogs around the house. The dog sledding was an experience we will never forget. Sledding through the Yukon forest with your own team is something everyone must do once in your life. The wildlife preserve gave us a chance to see many of the Yukons wildlife up close. The hot springs was a welcome treat after a long day of excitement. Ice fishing saw us bag a nice Lake trout and Manuela was kind enough to cook up our catch for an entree before dinner. A word of warning, do not visit if you are on a diet! The food is exceptional and it is impossible to resist. Thank you Manuela and Jeff! We both had such an amazing experience at Muktuk and can’t wait to visit again.

We had an extra special Yukon wedding thanks to Muktuk Adventures. It was the perfect location for us, and the memories will be with us forever. Our guests loved the food and the accommodations. Thanks to Jeff, Manuela, and the dogs for kick starting our grand adventure in life together! I cannot imagine walking down the aisle now that I’ve been there by dog team!

We had amazing experiences Manuela and Jeff and their crew took us some adventures which is exciting and the meals prepared by Manuela were also really great . And their dogs are adorable and super friendly! People, dogs, accommodation and activities .. All of them were perfect for us. We appreciate that they gave us unforgettable memories!

Jeff and his wife are great. We had wonderful three hours there. The dogs are super safe and friendly.

Host was well informed. Was both educational and a wonderful experience with the huskies. Views were an added bonus. Also appreciated the love and care given to the dogs

My wife and I did the 134-mile canoe trip down the Thiry Mile River, then on down the Yukon to Carmacks. Jeff and Manuela are special people. Our stay in the lodge both the night before and the night after the canoe trip was most enjoyable. We met some interesting people. The food Manuela prepared was excellent and we even got to enjoy some of her scrumptious brownies. Jeff shared some of his music collection with us. We got up in the middle of the first night there to get a glimpse of the Northern Lights. The trip down the river was excellent with our guide, Joe Bishop. Although I had previously done some canoeing, I learned a lot from Joe about both canoeing and the Yukon. We stopped at many historic spots along the way. So much history about mining and steamboats. The Yukon River is magnificent. It is true wilderness. We saw abundant wildlife such as bald eagles and enjoyed the silence of the wilderness. It was the greatest wilderness adventure of my life. In fact, enjoyed the Muktuk experience so much I am returning in the winter to run sled dogs. I'm hoping my wife will join me on that adventure as well. One more thing, the dogs at MukTuk are special and so much fun to be around. They are loved and well cared for. Jeff and Manuela, thank you for a wonderful experience. You could not have done better. I wear my Muktuk Adventures ball cap with great pride! My friend are envious. See you in the winter. Please keep that MukTuk parka ready for me. Manuela, you know which one I mean!

Wonderful experience with Muktuk on a half day canoe paddle on the Takhini river with parents and kids age 3 and 6. Beautiful scenery and wildlife. Meeting the sled dogs was fun and the lunch blew us away! Friendly hosts and very well organized, we always felt safe and in good hands. Highly recommend.
