Meet local huskies, learn mushing skills from a professional musher, and enjoy a short summer sled ride in Two Rivers.
About this tour
In Two Rivers, where sled dogs outnumber people, meet the huskies behind a local team during a private summer experience. Spend time with these athletic, good-natured dogs and hear from a professional musher about a way of life shaped by the team and the seasons.
Get hands-on as you help hook up and harness the dogs, then try on mushing gear made for winter temperatures as low as -40°F. When the team is ready, enjoy a short 45-second ride. The run is intentionally brief to help keep the dogs from overheating in summer weather. Across 90 minutes, you’ll have time to meet the dogs, ask questions, and learn about the work and care involved in mushing.
This Two Rivers Summer Sled Dog Experience offers an up-close introduction to the dogs and their world. Meet your guide at the maroon yurt beside Chena Hot Springs Road, and come ready to spend time with the team.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 3 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in Fairbanks
- 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: this tour scores 7.3. Top 43% in Fairbanks means it ranks in the top 43% of tours in Fairbanks by this score.
