When you are planning your dog mushing adventure with NWS please remember that we are a small guide service who's philosophy is to offer an intimate outdoor experience between our guests, our huskies and our magnificent environment. To effectively achieve this goal we have to enforce a maximum on the number of guests per mushing adventure per day:
5-mile passenger adventure has a max of 6 guests
Half-day intro has a max of 4 guests
Full-day adventure has a max of 2 guests
Overnight adventures have a max of 4 guests
There are very few exceptions to the maximum number of guests we can accommodate; the exceptions will be based on the ages and sizes of additional guests. (ie: small children may be considered beyond the maximum)
Guest maximums for dog mushing adventures do not apply to the
other adventures or courses that NWS offers.
