Amazing experience! - Loved doing the dog sleds. The company was very friendly and accommodating due to a ride situation I was late to my slotted time however they still let me do the tour no questions asked. The dogs were friendly and they looked excited to be running. I was a bit hesitant at first but it seems everyone loves what they are doing and love their job. So amazing experience!

If you do one thing in Fairbanks, DO THIS. Best part of the trip! - What an AMAZING experience. If you do only one thing in Fairbanks, do this! The staff were fantastic and welcoming. We took our ride with Katrina and the dogs and we couldn't have been happier. I had always wondered about the welfare of sled dogs and, after talking with Katrina, I can ssure you that these dogs are living their best life. This is something she definitely does for the passion and love for it. The ride itself was exhilirating and I couldn't get enough of petting these wonderful dogs! The best part of the whole experience was talking to Katrina. We certainly could have stayed all day, sharing in her joy and passion for the sport and her wonderful sense of adventure. It was the absolute best part of our trip.

Winter - I had an AMAZING time writing with Josi! It was great being able to ride in the same sled as someone who participated in the Iditarod! My booking with a different company was canceled the day prior and I had to scramble and find a new agency to book with. Thinking about it, I should have done my research and book through Trail Breaker Kennel to begin with. After showing my coworkers the videos I took, they all now want to visit! This experience was MAGICAL!

Dog sledding - super fun and cute! - Amazing experience, and really friendly dogs! We went at 1:30pm, we came half an hour before the tour and had time to pet the dogs. The cabin provides warm winter pants and hats/scarves if you don't have your own! We had a fun and knowledge guide and got to learn a lot about the Alaskan huskies. We were given warm drinks after :)

So fun a 14-year old loved it! - This was the perfect ride! Given the 20 degrees below zero we contended with, 30 minutes was the exact right length of time to ride. Katrina was wonderfully informative, friendly, and conversational. We adored the views and attention to details to make sure our pictures were great. They added more to our winter outerwear to make sure we were protected from the cold. Must do on your visit!! Even the 14-year old I took with me thought it "was so cool," which in our world is nearly impossible to get him to say. 10 out of 10 stars!!

Exciting - It was fun! The dogs were very happy and excited to take us on the ride. Elena and Theo were really happy to take our questions. The best part was sliding on sharp turns. Would love to take a longer trip next time. The gear we were provided was a big help. We arrived extra early but folks were super accommodating.
