1) IDIDARIDE DOG SLED RIDE & MUSHER EXPERIENCE

Today’s Alaskan adventure begins with a two-mile dog sled ride. Feel the power, excitement, and energy of the amazing sled dogs as they are harnessed to the comfortable wheeled sleds. The intrigue of the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, also known as Alaska’s Superbowl, comes alive as you mush through the Alaskan wilderness to the base of Resurrection Mountain and along Box Canyon Creek. Your Iditarod veteran guide will thrill and excite you with stories from the trail as you experience the raw power of 13 Iditarod sled dogs. Upon return to the kennel, tour the beautiful kennel facilities, laugh as a guest is dressed up as an Iditarod musher, and cuddle adorable husky puppies. The guides are all Iditarod racers, and offer a delightfully humorous, behind-the-scenes look at the Seavey family’s training for the most demanding race on earth. Guaranteed to be one of the highlights of your vacation, this tour was chosen as one of Alaska’s Top Twenty Attractions, and is a must-do for all visitors to the Greatland.

2) TONSINA CREEK BRIDAL VEIL FALLS

Sea Kayaking will offer Otters! Eagles! Sea Lions! Bears! Oh MY! Oh yeah, let’s not forget the salmon when they are getting ready to spawn. Your kayaking tour will go to Tonsina creek, and depending on the time, weather, and group, the guides will decide if paddling on to Bridal Veil is appropriate. Your guide will provide instructions for the group’s safety and procedures should any emergency arise. Your group will then start paddling south on Resurrection Bay closely following the shore.

At Bridal Veil beach you will beach the kayaks, stretch your legs, and share snacks and hydration. The guides will provide you with information on the salmon stream and the types of salmon that spawn here and we try to answer your questions for a bit. After this break you will paddle back to Lowell Point. Two participants are required to guarantee departure.

3) UPGRADE: SALMON HALF DAY FISHING ADVENTURE

Welcome aboard. A guided salmon fishing trip with one of our premium fishing guides will provide you with the chance to experience world class Alaska fishing. We offer many options for fishing fun, and are happy to accommodate your schedule and desires. All trips include all fishing gear. Your fishing guide will be right beside you to help you to understand how to land these fish when the exciting moment arises! Be sure to bring a sack lunch and drinks.
