I've never heard of them, but a quick 30 second Google search on them would have turned me away from them based on reviews.

While there a number of good third party tour providers, whenever possible typically just do our research on any given port and book directly with the tour operator.  In that manner we are dealing directly with them and not relying on a third part to handle the transaction for us - for a fee.

I agree with you. In this case, I want to do a dog sledding excursion where you actually do the 15 or 20 min run on the dog sled. not just the musher talk and some tours do.  I did try to google 3 of these dog sledding companies directly and they did not seem to have a direct website that I could find.  Does anyone know of a direct provider for dog sledding in alaska?

I've not had direct experience with this so hopefully someone can confirm, but my understanding is that as long as there is adequate snow on the ground they will use a true sled.  Otherwise the "sled" that is pulled is on wheels.  The typical cruise season occurs when the snow is the least.  I also know that there are helicopter based excursions that might take you higher / farther to where more snow might be found.

 

Sorry - can't help with direct tour operators.

OK I just did a quick google check.  Did you try these:

https://ididaride.com/tours/

https://sleddogtours.com/

 

I didn't explore them too far but I think they are direct booking sites?

Any direct links for either skagaway or juneau or kathikan?    the lowest price i see for dog sledding (or being pulled in seated carts on dry land) is from cruisecode.com   I have never heard of them. does anyone have any direct experience with them?  I have tried to google to find excursion companies directly but can't seem to find any direct
