Drive your own Siberian Husky team through Fairbanks’ boreal forest to ridge-top views of the White Mountains and Chatanika River Valley.

About this tour

Take the reins on a true Alaskan adventure with this Fairbanks dog sledding tour. Rather than riding as a passenger, you’ll learn to drive your own team of Siberian Huskies and help harness the dogs before setting off.

Your guide introduces the basics, then you travel several miles through old-growth boreal forest toward a ridge. Along the way, the dogs pull you through a landscape of spruce and snow, with panoramic views of the White Mountains and the Chatanika River Valley from above. You drive your own sled for the entire outing, without sharing it with a guide or another guest. Cold-weather gear and footwear, hot and cold beverages, home-baked treats, and a hot campfire lunch are included.

The six-hour experience is an active outing, so a moderate fitness level is recommended. Public departures are for adults 18 and older; minors can join qualifying private tours. Meet at the kennel on Hattie Creek Road, about 30 minutes from downtown Fairbanks. Choose this Fairbanks dog sledding tour for a hands-on way to experience the region’s mushing tradition.

How this score is calculated

This tour has no TourTruth score yet: GetYourGuide doesn't show a usable rating for it. It gets a score as soon as a provider lists one.

How the score works

Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
The result is shown from 0 to 10. Tours without a usable provider rating are not scored.
