Es war eine abwechslungsreiche Aktivität. Wir wurden von unserem Guide am Lagerfeuer mit Kaffee empfangen. Danach konnten wir uns fertig umziehen (es gibt auch Leihanzüge, welche von guter Qualität sind). Danach gingen wir auch schon los. Bevor wir auf den Hundeschlitten stiegen, gab es noch ein kurzes Briefing bezüglich dem Verhalten mit den Hunden und der Sicherheit. Während der Fahrt erklärte der Guide uns ausführlich seine Arbeit und wie er die Hunde hält. Nach etwa der Hälfte der Strecke durften wir auch selber den Hundeschlitten führen. Und dann fuhren wir wieder zurück. Anschliessend hatten wir noch Zeit, um mit den Hunden zu spielen und sie zu streicheln und kuscheln. Da wir die letzten Besucher waren, durften wir mithelfen, den Schlitten zu retablieren und die Hunde von ihren Harnischen zu lösen und ihn den Transporter zu verladen.
