We had an awesome visit at the kennels. We met at their cafe and they drove us to their home and kennels. It is a family venture and you are up close for sure. At first you wonder if the dogs are treated ok but then you see how excited and thrilled they are to run. When they walk back... More

Tour was terrible. Was not worth the money. Dirty and deplorable. I was thrown from the cart and broke my shoulder. There was no rail or any safety chain on my side to hold on to. Was not offered any medical attention but two bandaids and tape for my bleeding knees that I injured. Tour inside the cabin was rushed... More

Nothing about this tour was worth the money and I found the hosts varied from indifferent to insulting. They picked us up on time at our hotel and then dumped us at the end saying would could find our own way back. Our host was unwelcoming and just plain wanted to get it all over with. An indoor lecture in... More

My wife and I had a fantastic time at Sundog Kennels. I admit that I was put off by some of the recent negative reviews for this tour. I can heartily recommend it. The negative reviews reflect what I believe to be significant misunderstandings of how sled-pulling dogs are (well) cared for and misrepresentations of the tour. Reviewer Linrjacob, having... More

The Tour of the Iditarod Racing Team of Gerald Sousa at the Sundog Kennels was fantastic. This is a tour that is conducted by the owner operator and he shares his life and passion of Alaska and his amazing team of Alaskan Sled Dogs. We learned a tremendous amount in the 2 hour tour. This is an experience that is... More

We had a group of 6 that were reserved a month prior to arriving. I called the day before and told them we were coming and we verified that we needed to be there by 3pm. They told us that 3pm was fine and they would be ready for us. We had just finished our flightseeing with Talkeetna Air Taxi... More

The kids were really wanting to do a dog sled ride and tour, & on the phone, Kathleen built it up to seem like the 2 hours would be fun filled with plenty of time to pet the puppies and have a decent sled ride. She went so far as to urge us to reconsider going on the Mahays Jet... More

A good way to learn about sled dog racing. Jerry Sousa does a good job of letting you experience, first hand, some of the effort and techinque involved in this sport. You get to watch the handlers hook up the dogs to the sled and while ridiing in the sled you grasp the desire of the dogs to pull. If... More

This is a family run working Iditarod kennel operation. The head musher - Sousa - runs the Iditarod yearly and always does well. It was great fun being hooked to a sled team - they go pretty fast through the woods. Also - very informative - I knew nothing about the Iditarod before I went - but now, I can't... More
