I highly recommend Muktuk Adventures for active people who want to have a unique, memorable experience the Yukon! We did the 4-day Cheechako Winter tour, which included dog sledding, the wildlife preserve, hot springs, ice fishing & snowshoeing, and snowmobiling. It was all spectacular. Manuela is an amazing host, and it feels more like you're staying with family. Her cooking is incredible. It's also great to see how loved the dogs are. I'm an animal lover and wasn't sure how I'd feel about seeing working dogs who are kept outside, but it's clear that the dogs are well cared for, friendly, and absolutely love what they do. It was nice to stay in the lodge with the older dogs (and puppies!) who want to spend all day snuggling with you. Overall an amazing 5-star experience! read more

Muktuk Adventures - Dog sledding at Muktuk - Hiking Near Me - Whitehorse, Yukon

One of our favorite places in the world to visit. Jeff and Manuela are amazing people who treat their dogs incredibly well, are kind and easy to talk to, and take world class care of their guests. The dogs are friendly and snuggly. Their gear is warm enough to thrive outdoors in cold temperatures. Being outdoorsy dog-lovers-- this place is a second-home in paradise for us. Our second time back and will come back again. read more

Best experience | Best staff | Best service | Full 5 stars $$$ If you're planning to visit the Yukon, this is an absolute MUST. Muktuk is one of a few dog sledding services offered in Whitehorse, and you don't really find this type of adventure activity anywhere else. Muktuk is also a place to stay and relax. We didn't stay with them, unfortunately, but we plan to next time! We stayed about 10 to 15 minutes out from them off the Klondike Hwy. Navigating to this place was easy and roads were fine. (We went for Thanksgiving). Roads were all covered in snow, but just go slow and you'll be fine. The price is a little high but on par with the other places. To be honest, if you think about it, it's an excellent price for the excellent service and hospitality provided. The owners and staff LOVE what they do and you can see it! The dogs are gorgeous and so very friendly. They love people and are super excited to do the one thing they love the most -- lead. Muktuk has an excellent facility. LOTS OF LAND! The course we did was about 1 to 2 hours, fully guided, and our group was 4 sleds total. The owners and staff are so friendly and down to earth. They're knowledgeable about their dogs and what they do there, and they never made us feel rushed when we wanted to stay a little longer to spend time hanging out with the dogs outside. After the dog sled run, we were invited to have some warm drinks and eat some brownies they made at their hang out cabin/gift shop. My parents bought A LOT of merchandise from them :P We ended up returning the next day to pick up another sweatshirt, but I suspect my dad wanted to go back mainly to pet the dogs :P I didn't mind because I wanted to do that as well, haha! So, I gave this company a full 5 stars because they took care of our rather large group of 7 people. They were very patient with us and made frequent stops along the way to make sure everyone was happy and safe. They picked the appropriate dogs for each team, and they made sure those that were sitting in the sled were comfortable. (They also provide proper clothing gear for the ride and a blanket to sit in while you ride in the sled). Highly recommend. :) SEE MY VIDEO HERE: www.facebook.com/lauren.gan88/videos/540051276149363/ read more

A symbiosis between nature and animals... a unique experience, to live 7 days in this ranch (which also has day trips) is to seek and obtain an unreal communion with these magnificent Husky sled dogs... the owners have 140! They are their children, Jeff and Manuela his wife are adorable, very scrupulous, competent. Manuela's cooking is comforting.... Only one obligation: if you come here you must love dogs, they will give you even more love in return. read more

This was amazing. What a wonderful group of people who absolutely love dogs. And what a great bunch of dogs who love to run and pull sleds. Our dog team was jumping all over the place waiting to get going. The temp dropped to -40 while we were on the river and the dogs just kept going. Our phone died at -10 so no video to upload. Professional group...a must do!! read more

Muktuk Adventures - Hiking Near Me - Whitehorse, Yukon

Wow!!!!! What an awesome experience. I wasn't sure what to expect and I am coming away with an amazing amount of knowledge and respect for Jeff and his wife. They are rescuing dogs, educating people on how a dog sled operation is run and providing a great opportunity to immerse yourself in. Our tour group was served a delicious and healthy lunch ( the greens were picked that morning from their garden). For those vegetarians not wanting a bison burger they serve a delicious mushroom burger. I highly recommend this Yukon experience and would definitely consider a visit in the winter to experience dog sledding!! read more
