The entire guided tour was excellent. We learned about and got to experience dog mushing. Got to hold some puppies, the next generation of mushing dogs. Our lady musher was really nice and funny and told great stories about her mushing experiences. Lunch was tasty. Our bus driver Daryl also told great mushing stories and took us for a hike to Exit Glacier. Spent over a week visiting AK and this was my absolutely favorite activity. It was awesome. Thanks so much…Patricia

Great all-round tour
SUSAN_C, Sep 2024
I thoroughly enjoyed this tour which included dog sledding, a tour around Seward, a nice restaurant lunch then a walk to a glacier and to see salmon spawning. The driver guide was excellent and so was our guide at the dog sledding who told us a lot about the Iditarod race. Cuddling pups was so lovely. Lunch, in a Seward restaurant, was tasty. At the glacier there were options depending on people's walking ability - I chose the easier path but I still got photos of the glacier from a distance. Normally the stop to look at the salmon wouldn't be included as its only when the salmon are spawning - luckily I got to see it. The bus returned to Seward in time for people to catch their northbound train.

Iditarod kennel
Teresa_P, Jul 2024
Loved visiting the dog kennel and holding the puppies. Also found the personal stories our guide told us about his experiences growing up and living in Alaska and the tales about family history in dog sled racing fascinating and informative. We learned a lot.
Awesome!
Kathy_B, May 2024
Dog sled riding experience and hike to see Exit Glacier. The tour guide (Daryl) was very good! Had a nice lunch and historical information on Seward and the area.
Excellent tour with Sled dogs, glacier viewing and lunch.
JOHN_K, May 2024
This was a wonderful tour. Our guide at the sled dog portion of the tour was awesome! The pictures and videos were much appreciated. We were expecting a boxed lunch, but instead had a great lunch at a local restaurant, which was delicious. The bus driver was also the tour guide on some of the areas, like the exit glacier and he was witty and enjoyable. Great stories.
Sunny day ididaride and magnificent glacier view
Leia_L, Aug 2023
This whole tour is magnificent! The ididaride dogs were healthy, happy and very cute! I enjoyed the ride and learning more about the Iditarod race now and historically. The glacier overlook hike was breathtaking. Lunch was tasty. Our tour guide, Ken was attentive, friendly and timely.

Our driver / guide Daryl was wonderful! Then pace of this trip is perfect! We loved the sled dogs, the sod ride, the glacier hike and the salmon. As a local, Daryl shared lots of interesting stories!
Good tour for younger in great shape
Corey_B, Jun 2023
Tour is for younger people who can rock climb up a mountain. Our guide johnathon told us there was going to be a two mile hike which as an older person I can do. Once we started walking it was more like rock climbing up a mountain to see a glacier. I almost fell five times and he left three of us behind who were struggling. I would of thought he would of stayed and helped but we all caught up to him 15 minutes later with other people who were not on the tour assisting us.
Response from Host, Sep 2023
This is a growing issue as Exit Glacier retreats at an astonishing pace. The hike in question is the Overlook Loop at Exit Glacier in Kenai Fjords National Park (about 1/4 of the overall day tour). The trail has been extended several times in recent years. The National Park is exploring alternate options, but for now guests have the option of waiting at the Visitor's Center, taking a shorter hike but not getting as good of a view, or going for the walk which includes some strenuous stretches. As for the guide, they often have to chose where in the group to walk as it often spreads out, and unfortunately it sounds like he was needed in more than one place on this day, I apologize.
Dog sled ride was fast...

Must do in Seward!
SandraL_P, Aug 2021
Daryl, our guide was beyond five stars, very kind, considerate, informative, fun and really made the day enjoyable! Laura at Seavey’s, was our musher, beyond five stars again! Can’t even think of anything she could improve on. We hope to see her race one day! The dog wagon ride was super-fun! Everyone was very kind, knowledgeable, and the absolute best. Highly recommend!
Fun with Iditarod dogs
Reeda_T, Aug 2021
Dog sled ride and history of Iditarod was found and interesting.. Would do it again. Kids would love it
Fun and informative, Fabulous Lunch
Terry_T, Jun 2021
We all, myself, my husband, daughter, and son in law, enjoyed this very informative and fun tour. The food was fabulous. The kennels were fun and very informative. Kala was our musher and she was really good at answering all our questions. The bus driver to the Park was very good. And as I said before the Food was FABULOUS! The walk to the glacier was a pretty easy one, according to my husband, I wasn't able to walk it because of leg problems I was experiencing.
Very good tour
Javier_S, Jun 2021
It's very good tour. The tour guide was very informative and friendly. I felt welcomed and enjoyed during the trip. The sled dogs tour was amazing. The glacier was spectacular. I wish we had more time spending on the glacier though!
Great Tour!
Joyce G, Aug 2019
We enjoyed the entire tour but the visit to the Seavey dog kennel's was the highlight. Getting to ride behind sled dogs was amazing! Lunch was great at a very pretty lodge and Exit Glacier was pretty. You do spend about an hour and a half at Exit Glacier and if you are not a hiker it's a long walk to get close to it. Many of our party were bored sitting around for an hour and a half as they were not able to walk very far (older group). Our driver/guide was wonderful! Very knowledgeable and friendly. We were picked up at the train station (after checking our luggage) and they had us back in time to board the 6 pm train to Anchorage. This tour works perfectly with the train schedule! Overall I highly recommend this tour!
Bad food made us sick
William_M, Jul 2019
Poor trip and food was worse. Think people got sick from salmon and possible food poisoning. Would not recommend
