Best time ever!!!!
We had a blast! We’ve done many excursions in Alaska and this rated as one of the best! Wear your rain gear we got soaked, but totally worth it!!!!

Not worth the price
Pick-up and drop-off were excellent from the cruise terminal. We arrived at the park and were met with an unorganized guide. The place smells really bad, and the dogs (at least we felt) were unhappy. Our tour was around 2:45 p.m., so the dogs were very tired. The actual sled ride is very bumpy! Our 2nd stop, which was to get an overview of dog sledding, was terrible. The guy had a broken leg and was all over the board; we could not make heads or tails of what the guy was saying. That was a complete waste of time! At the end of the tour, you get to play with the puppies. We did this adventure because my husband was missing our dog that we had to put down last year. I would not recommend this tour. We paid $245 per person, and it was not worth it.

Amazing Must Do Tour!

Loved our dog mushing...
Loved our dog mushing experience. The only negative was the ride was not as long as we would have liked. Got to meet the dogs after as well as some puppies. Staff were so accommodating and knowledgeable.

Positive excursion experience in Juneau
My family and I had a great experience with the sled dogs in Juneau. You can tell that the people and dogs all enjoy what they do, everyone is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Getting to meet Grayson was a highlight of this trip, he was really fun to talk to about his experience running the Iditarod.

Musher's Camp® & Sled Dog Discovery in Juneau Alaska: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Juneau.
How much does Musher's Camp® & Sled Dog Discovery in Juneau Alaska cost?
+
Prices start at $210 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Juneau usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Musher's Camp® & Sled Dog Discovery in Juneau Alaska take?
+
Plan for about 2.3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Juneau is not rushed.
Is Musher's Camp® & Sled Dog Discovery in Juneau Alaska worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 237 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Juneau, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Musher's Camp® & Sled Dog Discovery in Juneau Alaska?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Musher's Camp® & Sled Dog Discovery in Juneau Alaska suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Musher's Camp® & Sled Dog Discovery in Juneau Alaska?
+
Around 83 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Juneau can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Juneau and add a light layer if any part of the 2.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Musher's Camp® & Sled Dog Discovery in Juneau Alaska start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Juneau within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Juneau?
+
Juneau runs Mendenhall Glacier trips, whale watching in Auke Bay, helicopter glacier landings with dog sledding, and rainforest hikes. Most tours are timed to cruise ship windows, so we weight clear duration and pickup detail. On Outty we rank every Juneau experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Juneau Wildlife Whale Watching, Juneau Wildlife Whale Watching & Mendenhall Glacier, Whales and Wilderness Exploration. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Juneau?
+
May to September, peaking for humpbacks in June and July. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Juneau?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Musher's Camp® & Sled Dog Discovery in Juneau Alaska?
+
Included: Accommodation as per itinerary. Not included: Food and drinks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Musher's Camp® & Sled Dog Discovery in Juneau Alaska?
+

What languages is Musher's Camp® & Sled Dog Discovery in Juneau Alaska offered in?
