Juneau Dog Sled Summer Camp is a great excursion to experience these working dogs doing what they love to do. From the time they picked us up at the port to the sled ride this excursion was everything we expected and more. The tour guides were very informative and provided a great experience on the sled with the dogs. The dogs are very eager to give you an exciting ride through the woods. Although, for me the most enjoyable moment of this excursion was holding and playing with the puppies. I highly recommend his tour for a true Alaskan experience.

The Girl Scouts loved the sled Dog Summer Camp. Especially the puppies and meeting the dogs. The ride was fun too. The rain and mud that day didn't put a damper on any of it. THanks

We really enjoyed the tour we took with Alaska Shore Excursions. We have three kids and they loved it. The tour guide was wonderful. She explained everything in detail. The highlight was being able to play with the puppies. Our toddlers loved it.
