MIGHTY MUSHING Full Hands-On Experience by Huskyhaven

Huskyhaven is the home of Iditarod musher Wattie McDonold and his team of Siberian huskies on the outskirts of Stonehaven in Scotland. Wattie has complete the Iditarod Sled Dog race covering 1049 miles over Alaska’s tough winter terrain from Anchorage to Nome, twice. Huskyhaven brings a little bit of Alaska to the North East with the chance to get fully involved with the pack and run the dogs using a three-wheeled rig. Guests have the opportunity to meet the team of Siberian huskies, visit the kennels with audio and visual presentations and also get the privilege to run a team of dogs. The Aurora Experience is approximately two to three hours and includes a seven mile trail where guests may be lucky enough to see the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) on a clear night. The trail is not for the fainthearted and can be quite physically demanding, but the most fulfilling experience and breathtaking views from the top of the trail. Dress up warm as temperatures drop at the summit, but hot drinks and snacks will be provided to help warm you up and sustain energy levels.Embark on a ride of a lifetime and experience the exhilarating thrill of husky sledding. Get fully involved with the pack and learn all about these incredible athletes, with plenty of hands-on time with the team.
