I tried both the Ski Jouring and Dog Sledding and found both amazing. Unlike anything you will ever do!! Both were physically challenging and require strength and determination but it was completely worthwhile. Two great instructors who were very friendly and enjoyable to be with. They gave clear instructions and ensured we made the most of the experience while keeping... More

My husband and I were given gift certificates for Mad Dogs and Englishmen. We chose to go on the 2 hour Skijor Tour because we are avid cross-country skiers. The tour was great! Our guide met us early at the parking lot at Mt. Shark and gave us a short introduction to the layout for the tour. We went on... More

There's not many activities which interests a group which included a 7 year old girl, a 15 year old boy, a 20 year old and two forty somethings. But without exception we all thoroughly enjoyed our 2 hour dog sled tour with Mad Dogs & Englishmen and we are all looking forward to our next expedition (the 1/2 day tour).... More

best sledding ever, stunning place and really great people. Cass, the guide, was really friendly and also really helpful, and a great laugh to be with, and the dogs are just lovely. I think you can judge people by their animals, and you can certainly judge a dog sledding company by their dogs, and in this case I would not... More

This was simply excellent - took the three hour trip, with a 5 and 7 year old. The kids must want to go, and you must all wear very warm clothes including snow pants. The organisation was good, the location excellent although rental cars with pathetic all weather tyres dont help on the track to the lake!! It was well... More

If You want to spend an unforgettable winterday, dont hesitate to book a dogsled tour with the Mad Dogs. We really can recommend the halfday trip on the Spray Lake. This turned out to to have just the right balance between just gliding on the sled and working a bit on the path alongside the lake. As we had never... More
