About this experience
Our sit and back combo tour is a tour where you get to try both being the driver and a passenger! Together with a partner/friend one of you gets to drive the team of 5 dogs whilst the other person sits on the sled. Half way you can swap over so the person sitting can also try to drive. On this tour it is two people per sled. We give you a short instruction and mush mostly in our own home made trail which covers a varied landscape. You each get to harness one dog and when back at the kennel can help reward your dogs by feeding them. We encourage full participation so you can also help to unharness and put the dogs back into their yards.
