“We had a great time with our guides Noah and Carrie. The children loved the marshmallows and sausages by the fire but what made the evening was running up and sliding down the snowy bank behind the teepee. We we're lucky enough to see the northern lights because of the cloudy sky but still really enjoyed the tour.”

Después la actividad te venden mil cosas y solamente vas, te montas 2min en el trineo y fuera...ni te enseñan los perros ni te dejan interactuar con ellos.....así que te sale el minuto de la actividad a 200e....y encima no te ponen ni huskeys por la temperatura, cuando la actividad es con ellos.....así que deberían devolverte el dinero ..o indemnizarle....una experiencia nefasta .....”
