In very rare occasions, there may be a time when we need to cancel a tour due to the extreme temperature. If we cancel, you will be given a choice to reschedule your tour or receive a full refund.

We are located in Fairbanks, Alaska. If you have booked a winter tour, you will receive a confirmation email with detailed instructions on how to get yourself to the kennel. The kennel is located on private property, so we ask that only those who have a confirmed tour make their way to the kennel.
We work to provide everyone with a great experience, no matter their level of mobility. However, our winter activities require guests to do minimal walking through snow around our kennel. For guests participating in a dog sled ride, they will need to be able to seat themselves in a sled close to the ground. Our mushers will be there to help, but if you, or anyone in your party has concerns about mobility please email us at tours@trailbreakerkennel.com or give us a call at 907-347-7274. We will be happy to chat with you and work out a way for you to get the most out of your visit.
