We had a great time with Jena as our guide. She was very knowledgeable and fun. The sled dogs were more than happy to accommodate all of us. A great experience to be pulled by professional racing dogs.

Today's Alaskan cruise adventure took us to the dogs. We enjoyed an informative, fascinating day learning about dog sledding and its vital part of Alaskan life and history. Linda was our jovial and friendly guide for our AlaskaX dog sledding experience. Her guided tour provided us with lots of interesting and colorful tales of Skagway’s early frontier days. At the Musher Camp, our dog handler gave us lots of great information on how the dogs are trained, fed and groomed for the Iditarod in March. The dog sledding ride was thrilling to watch these incredible perform what they live and love to do best. Getting to meet these beautiful, svelte dogs up close was a thrill. Petting them, you can feel all muscle. These incredible, athletic animals are superstars of the vast Alaskan wilderness. And then it was puppy time! Oh gosh - week old puppies and a chance to hold, cuddle and snuggle them. We learned it’s important to begin socializing them ASAP. Definitely a highlight. The ride up/down the steep mountain road was an adventure in itself in a rugged “unimog” vehicle. All-in-all, a wonderful, fun experience.

Far beyond expectations! This tour was unbelievable. The dogs were amazing to see in action and I cannot say enough good things about every single person that we interacted with on the tour. Our bus driver/guide Rose gave us all the best pointers in town and now only did she drive us to the dog camp but she gave us a thorough history of Skagway on the way. A pirate story, the beauty of the land and everything. She was the best guide we had on any excursion on our vacation.

Pickup was well-organized and on time. Dylan was friendly and very knowledgable of the local area and pointed out various Juneau landmarks and history along the route. At the facility, Robert and Bone likewise were welcoming and eager to share their passion for the dogs and mushing with us. Their presentations on sledding and Iditarod history were informative and well done. Each member of the team fielded questions and shared his own stories and insights. The sled run was an absolute blast, and meeting/petting the adult dogs and holding/petting the puppies was an added highlight. Easy 5 stars from our group of 5.

This experience was exactly what I expected. It was at a dog camp in the middle of a beautiful forest. All of the staff were kind and informative. The dogs were all very friendly and sweet puppies, too! The only negative was that we were told to be at the meeting point 15 minutes early and they were a few minutes late because the driver said there was a mix up on where to pick us up (we went to the place we were directed to in our confirmation). Other than that, it was a great day!

We had a fabulous time, from the minute we were picked up to being dropped back at the cruise ship. Our driver Rose was informative and funny. She had a wicked sense of humour. The dogs were wonderful, hard-working and lovable. Our sled driver Sarah handled them well and gave us a personal introduction to them at the end of the 6 person cart ride. Seeing the 2 week old puppies and getting to hold one touched the heart. Also the store was a husky lovers dream, at a reasonable price. Thank you Rose, Sarah and Alaska X for the experience.

This tour is very well run, it never felt crowded even though they were very busy. The staff were very professional and knowledgeable. It was very interesting to learn the history of sled dogs and their role with humans. Riding behind the dogs on a "sled" was amazing to see how the dogs interacted with other dogs and their trainer. Of course, petting puppies is always great, but the rest of the tour was equally excellent.

Very special trip! Love seeing the dogs “working” and seeing puppies ( sharks ). Eric, John, Maya and Josh were awesome!

Fantastic experience! We had a great time learning about and interacting with the sled dogs. Fun and educational, we loved the dogs!

What a time! The trip in with Tim was one of a kind. Ask him questions, and he'll tell you so much about Juneau's history as he winds through the mountain trails. We then had Tyler, an up and coming musher, as our host, who was amazing. So enthusiastic and informative. The Mountain valley location is worth the price of admission. We've done this adventure twice, and would go again.

Great time zip lining! Parker, Lee and Isabelle took great care of us. Very exciting and we all felt very safe, even hanging upside down (optional of course)!

What a blast! We weren't expected the unimog drive but it was an adventure unto itself, and of course everyone loved riding with the sled dogs. We had three generations in our group, and my grandmother with walker needed assistance to/from the unimog and the team did a great job grabbing a 4x4 cart to take her up to the camp. Getting up into the Unimog was doable for her but was a bit slick in the rain. The team did such a great job introducing the dogs to us and answering all our questions about mushing. Grandma turned to me and said "This was the most fun excursion I've had on this whole trip!" Beaming ear to ear after riding with the dogs. It was a bit of a drive from the cruise ship terminals but the views were still nice and it was actually a relief to get out of town and away from all the other cruise tourists for a bit.

This was my daughter’s favorite part of the whole trip. We had a great time, and loved getting to pet the dogs afterwards.

We enjoyed a wonderful day at the Musher's Camp in Skagway. The views to/from the camp were amazing and meeting and riding with these musher dogs was such a fun experience. The experience was very informative with learning the background of racing and how these beautiful dogs get to do their favorite activity...run! Max was a great guide and shared many interesting facts along our trip.

Pros first: motivated young guides conducting a tour through true wilderness at the foot of Davidson Glacier. These guides live here with no running water or electricity for the 5 months of the year that they are leading tours … so this IS in fact wilderness. Guides was very funny and upbeat, and also well-informed. Comfortable boat ride to/from the cruise ship, with naturalist who pointed out wildlife along the way. We enjoyed putting on the rubber boots and life vests and the “soft hike” through the woods. Shout out to guide Lydia - she’s awesome! Now cons: the lunch was mediocre; the ride to/from the tour site is over an hour each way ... but that’s what we expected because a cruise ship by definition stops pretty far from the “wilderness”. We would have preferred the chance to actually use our oars on the canoes, rather than have them be powered by motors. We agree with the comment that the rocks at the base of the glacier were rather ordinary.
