Oliver will show you everything in detail about dog sledding and will appreciate your help very much. This will make your vacation very memorable.

Alaskan Malamute: Tour itinerary:

Day 1:
You will be collected at Fairbanks Airport and driven to the Kennel. You will get to know the Alaskan Malamut dogs and your guide. Afterwards, enjoy your first dinner together and discuss the itinerary. You'll stay at the farm in a double room or in the rustic hut.

Day 2:
The dogs first! Feed the dogs together. Then you will all have breakfast in the main house. Afterwards, we start with the Alaskan Malamuts. They learn how to handle the sled and equipment. The introductory tour takes you about 25 miles through the deep snowy wilderness of Alaska.

Day 3:
Today the day begins with the feeding of the dogs, afterwards you have breakfast. Then the sleds are packed and the equipment stowed away. Yesterday you learned how to harness the dogs and will do it on your own today. The trip continues into the untouched nature while you can safely lead the dog sled with the cheerful Alaskan Malamuts. Before dinner, the dogs are fed again. At dinner in the main house you will discuss today's experience and thoughts.

Day 4:
Begin with the feeding of the dogs, then breakfast for you. Afterwards, the dogs will be waiting for you. Today, the distances are increased to about 25-30 km so you can have lunch on the way to the wilderness. You will glide with your dogs through forests, over the lakes, and rivers. After returning to the kennel, feeding of the dogs comes first. After the work is done, your dinner will be waiting for you in the main house.

Days 5-10:
The tours can now be gradually intensified and expanded. Lunch in the nature, and spending the night in the Kennel in your usual accommodation.

Day 11:
Even the most beautiful experience comes to an end. It is now time to leave the dogs and leave the wilderness of Alaska. A small consolation is the impressive experience that you take home with you. Transfer back to the airport or to the city.

Additional Activities: Fairbanks and Hot Springs

From Day 5 onwards, you can choose from 2 days doing whatever you want at your leisure, which you can either take further trips or pay a visit to the city. For example, after breakfast, you could visit the spa at the Chena Hot Springs Resort and spend the day there. Here you can also book a snowmobile tour if you wish. Trips to Fairbanks or Hot Springs add extra cost.

Accommodation: You are accommodated in the main house of the farm in 2 double rooms or in a private log cabin (shower in the main house, outside toilet). The host family lives very closely together with your beloved Malamutes, so dogs could also stay in the main house.
