Husky Adventure Tour: dog sledding through the stunning Yukon
This amazing tour is ideal for adventurers who are keen to learn the wonderful techniques of dog mushing. During the early part of the tour, you will be taught everything that you need to know about traditional dog mushing, before taking your own team of furry friends out onto the quiet training grounds and putting your knowledge and skills to the test! Starting on simple terrain, each day the trails will get a little trickier, meaning that by the time the tour has ended you will be competent at taking your team on a variety of different routes.
Husky Adventure Tour: Tour Itinerary
Please note that all itineraries are subject to change based on the weather and ability of the tour participants. In some cases, your guide may choose to leave for the camp early and spend three nights there instead.
Day 1: Arrival
After being picked up from the lobby of your hotel in Whitehorse around 10 am, you will head out with the rest of your group to do any last-minute shopping for the tour ahead. Then you will drive approximately 20 km south of Whitehorse to the Sky High Wilderness Ranch. After a hot lunch, you will be able to meet your huskies, who will be very excited to see you! Then you will learn everything that you need to know about caring for your four-legged companions and looking after your sled and equipment. After that, you're off to your very first mushing experience! Take it easy and your guide will be on hand to provide assistance as you get to grips with your sled and dog team. During the evening relax with a warm shower, sauna, and a delicious hot dinner served by the fire. Stay overnight in the ranch lodge.

After a night of refreshing sleep, you will be up early to greet your furry friends and provide them with breakfast. Sitting in the dining room for your own breakfast, your guide will run through the plan for the day which will include mushing through the Fish Lake Area. Listening to the soft crunch of your dog’s paws on the lonely, frosted trail as they pull you closer to your destination. Rewarding them for their hard work is the perfect time to create a real bond with these noble creatures. Overnight again in the ranch lodge where a hot sauna will help unwind your body and mind.
Day 3: Through the Wilderness
Today, you will embark on another tour. You will witness impressive, rugged landscapes and the beauty of nature around Fish Lake. Wildlife is abundant in this area, so keep your eyes peeled! Back at the lodge you can feed and care for your hard-working huskies, before enjoying dinner with the rest of your tour group. We are sure that you will have plenty to recount from the day! Overnight in the ranch lodge.
Day 4: Husky tour along the coastal mountains
Your previous days of mushing will be a great experience today, as the trails here are narrower and slightly more challenging. The incredible coastal mountains are always at the edge of your vision, so be prepared for some breathtaking scenery. You will be back to the lodge in the evening, where you will be grateful for a hot shower and meal, before retiring for a great night of sleep.
Days 5 - 7: Pure Wilderness! Your Adventure in a Tent Encampment
The greatest adventure yet begins today! You will make your way to the tented encampment at Dry Creek or Coal Lake, where you will spend 2 exciting nights. Take your team deeper into the area around Fish Lake to the southern coastal mountains. There will be some incredible opportunities for great photos that day. Spend the night in a tent in the middle of the wilderness. After a good night's sleep, breakfast will be served in the camp kitchen or trapper cabin before you climb the curves of your sled again. If the weather is favourable, your tour group will be traveling in a beautiful area far above the treeline of the mountains. Windy hilltops await the paws of their four-legged friends. Nights spent at Camp.
The third day in the wilderness will unfortunately also be your last day of the Yukon Husky Vacation. After a delicious breakfast with your tour group, your team will head back west, to Sky High Lodge. Let the beautiful, calm and infinitely wide landscape sink in before you leave. These are memories that you will not forget. You reach the lodge around noon, where you can grab lunch and say goodbye to your dogs, who have led you through the wilderness so reliably. In Whitehorse, you will receive your musher diploma.
Day 8: Departure
Enjoy a final night in Whitehorse before you begin your journey home, taking with you some incredible memories of your time husky sledding in the Yukon. Your included transfer takes you to the airport.

Important Information

Additional Information:
The safety of our guests and animals is our top priority on all of our tours. The far north can have fluctuating and unpredictable weather with very strong temperature differences. Whilst we strive to follow the planned trails as closely as possible, we reserve the right to change the order of activities, the route of safaris, and the intensity of the excursions should the needs of our guests or animals necessitate it, or if the weather conditions compromise our pre-planned route. This involves both adjustments due to insufficient snow (meaning we cannot drive the sleds) or too much snow (snowstorms and extreme cold can cause accidents and various other problems). The required adjustments and fallback options in rare cases are based on the day-to-day conditions and can be compensated by shorter or longer daily stages, alternative accommodations, or even single day trips. In extremely rare cases we may organise alternative transport (ie. cars, quad bikes, etc). Feel free to contact us if you would like a more detailed assessment of this tour and travel period. The service providers and tour providers always perform their services in compliance with and in accordance with the official requirements and requirements applicable at the time of stay.

Dezember 2019 - Huskytour im Yukon
Es war ein phantastisches Abenteuer in einer traumhaft schönen Landschaft. Das Team um die Tour ist immer freundlich und professionell gewesen. Die Hunde sind toll und man bekommt schnell einen sehr innigen Kontakt zu ihnen. Auch die Verpflegung war hervorragend. Der Aufenthalt im Zeltcamp war sehr gewöhnungsbedürftig, aber auch ein großes Abenteuer. Einfach ein unvergessliches Erlebnis!
