MULTI DAY HUSKY SAFARIS
Alaska is famed for its wildly romantic landscapes and epic aurora borealis. Picture giant mountains, endless valleys, powerful frozen rivers, sparkling meadows of snow, enchanting forests of birch and spruce – and you and your team of huskies traveling through it all!
Our multi-day husky safari dog sledding expeditions take you to little-known, magical places in Interior & Arctic Alaska, the traditional lands of the Dena & Inupiat peoples.
We weave together time with Siberian Huskies, mushing through pristine wilderness areas, Alaskan-style meals, aurora viewing, cozy accommodations and abundant opportunities for wildlife viewing.
If you are craving connection to the Alaskan wilderness, seeking an authentic experience, and value a personal touch, you have come to the right place. On an Arctic Dog Adventure Co. small group husky safari, you will gain a caring and genuine dog sledding experience, one that highlights ethical mushing practices, and celebrates a life lived in cooperation and partnership with dogs. Our visitors are active participants in their adventure - you will learn to drive your own small husky team!

HUT TO HUT DOG SLEDDING ADVENTURES

Explore the tundra and mountainous valleys surrounding our Arctic Basecamp, situated just outside Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve. If we are lucky, the sun will shine bright late into the evening, inviting long lunches with warm afternoon naps on the sleds, and fresh outdoor dinners with sunglasses still needed. After sundown, watch the aurora swirl through the late evening twilight, subtly dancing in the bright Arctic sky.
This is the most remote of our trips, with heated tent camping and millions of acres of tundra to explore by dog team.
