About Muktuk Adventures
Muktuk Adventures is a premier dog-sledding and wilderness experience provider set along the shores of the Takhini River in the Ibex Valley, roughly twenty-five minutes from downtown Whitehorse. Home to a large kennel of friendly sled dogs, the property combines authentic mushing culture with cozy cabin accommodation, making it one of the Yukon's most recognised winter destinations.
In winter, guests learn to harness, drive and care for their own team on guided dog-sledding tours that range from a few hours to multi-day expeditions with overnight stays in wilderness cabins. The kennel's welfare-first philosophy means visitors also get time simply meeting and walking the dogs. Come summer, Muktuk shifts to guided canoeing, hiking and "hike with huskies" experiences, plus farm-stay style stays that put guests among the dogs and the boreal landscape. Aurora viewing on clear nights is a highlight across the winter season.
What distinguishes Muktuk is its blend of genuine working-kennel authenticity and warm hospitality — this is a place built around the dogs and the land rather than a quick photo stop. Experienced guides, comfortable riverside lodging and a deep commitment to animal welfare have made it a favourite for travellers seeking a hands-on, immersive northern adventure close to Whitehorse.
