When you think of Alaska, you provably think of dog sled rides. What do you know, so do we! Headquartered near the restart of the famed Iditarod Sled Dog Race, we are ranked the #1 thing to do in Willow. Join us for what is to be the highlight of your Alaska bucket list on one of our epic dog sled rides!
Not only do we love to share a life lived with dogs with you, the dogs do too. This is evident from the moment your tour begins.
At SAGA, every dog is part of our family. Each has a special place on our team whether is retired sled dogs who greet you when you arrive or dogs in their prime who will take you on Alaska’s winter trails.
After you’re outfitted for winter, we’ll share some tales from the trail around the campfire before introducing you to the whole team, many of whom have raced the Iditarod multiple times.
This tour is more than sitting in a sled and going in a loop — it’s interactive. We invite you to be part of the adventure on one of our dog sled rides, beginning with giving the dogs love and attention before we head out on the trail. Once we’re on the trail, you can take in the sights riding in a custom-made tour sled, or you can help your guide drive the sled! Either way, in our signature 2-hour dog sled rides, there is something for everyone!

Understanding some basic mushing lingo can enhance your experience and give you a deeper appreciation for dog sledding. Terms like “gee” (which directs the dogs to turn right), “haw” (indicating a left turn), and “mush” (a command to start moving) are essential to communicate with the sled dogs. Dive deeper into the fascinating world of mushing language by visiting The Iditarod’s official glossary. It’s a fun and informative way to get acquainted with the terminology before your exciting sled adventure!
Alaska, particularly in its winter months, unveils a mesmerizing landscape that offers more than just sled rides. It’s a place where the skies dance with the northern lights, the lakes invite for a serene session of ice fishing, and snow-clad terrains beckon thrill-seekers for skiing and snowboarding.
