“I had such a wonderful experience with the huskies. They are incredibly friendly, beautiful, and full of energy. Shuky was especially adorable and affectionate, and I truly loved spending time with him. The walk was beautiful, calm, and very enjoyable. I had so much fun and felt really happy during the whole experience. I would definitely recommend it. Thank you for such a special day!”

Tanguy was, without a doubt, our favorite part of the activity. Without his good humor and wit, it wouldn't have been the same.

Instructions were very clear upon arrival that we would sled first and then get to meet the dogs. That way, our expectations were set, so meeting the dogs was something to look forward to at the end. To improve, our photo shows two people (us) in a sled in the dark, with no context. If the guide had taken the photo from our backs and had us turn our heads, we could have had the dogs in the photo, as well. As it is, we have no photos of the sled and the dogs, and the photo we have is like, what were they doing? We laughed pretty hard about this, but it still sucks to not have a real photo of the experience.

Well organized trip. It would have been nice to have Santa meeting included in the experience to have it as full package.
