Itinerary

Arrival day

Day 1 We will pick up at a hotel in Whitehorse or at the airport. Pick up time will be anytime in the afternoon of the first day. From there it will take us about 25min to reach the Muktuk Lodge. Guest will check in their rooms or cabin and have an introduction to our lifestyle with the dogs. We also go over the winter clothing. We supply parkas, pants, boots and mittens. Afterwards you are free to explore the dog yard and the surrounding property until dinner is served around 6pm.

After dinner you can relax in our common rooms, enjoy the privacy of your bed room or cabin, or dress up in the warm winter clothing we provide and wait outside in the hope for the northern lights.

Dog sledding and Wildlife preserve

Day 2 We will go to the Yukon Wildlife preserve. The Yukon Wildlife Preserve is a unique wildlife viewing property featuring 13 species of northern Canadian mammals in their natural environment. Encompassing over 700 acres with various natural habitats, the Yukon Wildlife Preserve offers unparalleled wildlife viewing and photo opportunities.

After learning all about the Yukon Wildlife, it is time for our visit to the Eclipse hot springs and spa. The perfect facility to relax while soaking in hot water, enjoying a steam room or sauna. You will feel rejuvenated after this 2 hour visit.
