Pretty Nice experience! - Amazing dog sledding experience! The scenery was absolutely beautiful, and the dogs were so friendly. When I got close, some of them even lay down and let me pet them, that’s so sweet. The staff is very patient and explained everything clearly and thoroughly. Highly recommend!

These are the cutest and... - These are the cutest and most adorable puppies in Fairbanks! I had so much fun getting to know the puppies and the whole operation. They have a wide variety of Huskies, malamute and Inuits. Tabitha was very knowledgeable and I had a lot of time with the puppies and the ride was long and gives you plenty of time for the full experience. I will recommend this to all my friends and family to go experience.

Best Dog Sledding Experience - This was a super fun and exciting experience. Tabitha was very helpful and welcoming when me and my parents came to Howling Bay Kennel for the dog sledding. She provided all information about the trail and the dogs. She also helped us with any additional gear that would be required since it was very cold that day. Dogs were very friendly, furry and cute and you can see they were cared by Tabitha. Puppies were very cute and excited as well. I would definitely recommend this experience for awesome dog sledding. Thank you Tabitha for great experience.
