Dog
Sled Tours in Churchill, Manitoba
Wapusk
Adventures
can offer you the freedom and excitement of dog sledding in a northern
boreal wilderness. Travel inside a cozy dog sled wrapped in the famous
'polar bear' blanket, pulled by the friendliest, hardest working huskies
in Churchill. Or drive on the back of the sleigh with your musher, and
feel the fresh cold Arctic air on this exhilarating ride along our well
groomed trails. The level of participation is your choice. At Wapusk Adventures
we offer an experience that is safe, educational and fun! Let us be the
highlight of your trip to Churchill.
Introduction
to Dog Sledding (October & November)
We
will transport you to our dog camp located four miles from Churchill.
You'll be met by 42 eager staff members, at least one of whom is a human.
After an introduction to the dogs, there will be time to hear their stories
and take pictures. Gather together with Dave Daley and learn about dog
sledding from an expert, including his dog philosophy and a few tales
of arctic racing. Dave will then take you on the 'Ididamile', our one
mile long trail ride through Churchill's boreal forest. While waiting
for your turn enjoy hot chocolate and bannock inside a warm wall tent,
another unique northern experience. When everyone is back and the dogs
have been put away, there will be a further opportunity to visit with
the mushers. Cost: $90 per person plus GST
