Seward, AK
Ididaride Dog Mushing Tour Chosen as one of Alaska's top 20 attractions, a must do for all Alaska visitors.
Your Seward Dog Mushing adventure begins with a two-mile dog sled ride. Feel the power, excitement, and energy of sled dogs as they are harnessed to the comfortable wheeled dog sled. Upon returning to the kennel you'll tour the Seavey's family kennel facilities, laugh as a guest is dressed up as an Iditarod musher, and cuddle adorable husky puppies. Your guides are all Iditarod racers, and offer a delightfully humorous, behind-the-scenes look at the Seavey family's training for the most demanding dog mushing race on earth, the Iditarod.
The Real Alaska Tour
Seward, Alaska This Seward tour package features all the attractions that truly make Alaska the Greatland. First, your guide shows you the sights of Seward. Learn why Seward was known as "the Gateway to Alaska" and "Mile 0" of the Iditarod Trail. See first-hand the effects of the 1964 Earthquake. Then, head out to Exit Glacier and enjoy a short walk along the nature trail that takes you to the face of the glacial ice. Watch for mountain goats, moose and bears. A hearty lunch will be served before you travel to the Seavey homestead and experience IdidaRide's Sled Dog tour. At the end your driver will return you to your hotel, cruise ship or the Alaska Railroad depot. All local transportation and lunch are included in this package.
Your Denali rafting adventure will traverse the eastern boundary of Denali National Park. The whitewater on the Nenana River offers two sections, a class II scenic mild-water raft trip or a class III/IV whitewater raft trip. Denali Outdoor Center offers both Paddle Rafts and Oar Rafts options in a spectacular Alaska mountain setting and the best whitewater rafting at Denali National Park.
On a oar raft option you just hang on for an exciting ride as your guide rows. If you're wanting more hands-on action a paddle raft option everyone paddles as your raft captain yells paddling commands to get you through the rapids.
The descriptions and photos should help you and your family or group decide "Mild or Wild" and "Paddle or Oar" for a fantastic Denali rafting adventure.

Scenic Mild-Water Run– Although this trip will begin at McKinley Village in the midst of local lodges, your river raft will drift slowly away and leave only a quiet encounter with Denali’s wilderness. Families with small children and those wanting a bit less splash will discover the joys of rafting.
Nenana Half-Day– This 4 hour tip combines the mild scenic stretch and the rapids of the canyon run. Enjoy Alaska's scenic beauty and hit over 10 major rapids for a complete morning or afternoon of river running.
