I'm a little surprised by the glowing reviews but maybe the unique experience of dogsledding outweighed the other issues for other reviewers. We had a good time, but was not overly impressed with the outfit that ran the trip. It seemed there was a lot of wasted time just waiting around for no apparent reason. This was a three hour... More

A one of a kind experience! We went late in the season, and the snow ws melting, so next time I would go earlier and enjoy the winter wonderland! Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Lovely animals. Highlight for me - getting to drive the sled!

It's coming close to the end of the season (getting too jolly hot for the dogs to run) - but we made it! Absolute highlight of our time in Whistler - Masses of cuddles and introductions to the dog. Truly caring staff who know all their quirks and recognise them all by name and their individual barks. For instance Surprise... More

Had an awesome experience, dogs were well looked after and really wanted to run and pull a sled, they actually didnt like stopping, guides were really nice and fun, would recommend to anyone.

We have been dog sledding before in Banf and loved it so I was nervous about going in whistler and it not being as good. The dog sledding was great from the moment we were picked up and the driver gave us a talk on how the valley was formed, origins of whistler etc. you get to drive a dog... More

+1 for the bucket list! Had a blast on this tour, and might have to come back to do it again sometime :) We had the opportunity to mush our own sled, though if you're on a sled with a guide, they're happy to put their feet up and let you do the work, too...just ask! Staff was super friendly... More

What an amazing experience! My bucket list item is going to turn in to a yearly event! I can't say enough wonderful things! The staff were great and the dogs were even better! I learned a little about local history on the way up, got to spend some time before and afterwards with the dogs and couldn't wipe the smile... More

This is a wonderful experience and is particularly good for older traveller who wish to experience some mountain views and snow covered trees in quiet valleys . Staff very attentive and dogs and puppies are just magic. You can just sit and be looked after or you can be actively involved completely up to you. I am slightly physically disabled... More

An absolutely magical tour run by extremely friendly, knowledgable staff that utterly love their dogs. The setting is stunning, and the thrill and uniqueness of the experience is simply unforgettable. The licks, cookies and hot chocolate in the yurt afterwards is the perfect way to end the day. Mush all the 10k if you can and you'll take the moment... More
