Ride on the wild side with sled dogs
Sit back and hold on for an adrenaline-filled ride as a team of 10 high-energy Siberian Huskies pull you at speed through narrow forest trails in the Huon Valley. The wheeled sled skims over the ground while the dogs do what they’re bred for—run. You’ll hear them howl, feel the power of the team working together, and understand why cooler Off Season weather is when these dogs are at their happiest and most energetic. Tours run in the southern forests where the air stays crisp even on sunny days.
