2024 Iditarod Race Start Tour Package. This tour is designed to let you experience all of the excitement of the race start, enjoy some fabulous sightseeing and wildlife viewing along Turnagain Arm and spend an exciting day learning to drive your own dog team. We start this tour with an incredible dog mushing experience at the Alaska Mushing School. Here you will tour the kennel, learn about dog mushing and take a dog sled ride. Most of our clients consider this to be the highlight of the tour. At the Iditarod Race Banquet you will mingle with the mushers, have photo ops with them and the opportunity to wish them well. Clients have the option to go through the dog handler certification that allows them to help bring the sled dogs up to the starting line at the Race start. How exciting is that for Iditarod fans! Optional activities at Alyeska include snowshoeing, snowmobiling, helicopter rides and of course skiing. With all the excitement of the Iditarod Race start, 1st rate lodging and meals, spectacular scenery and the dog mushing experience, this Iditarod Race Tour is a wonderful introduction to the Iditarod and one you will truly enjoy.

Crowd favorite Aliy Zikle on her way to Nome
"Going to the see the Iditarod was the fulfillment of a lifetime dream for
me. Ever since reading "Call of the Wild" in grade school I have dreamed of
braving the last frontier. After reading a review of Montagna's trip in Outdoor
Photographer magazine, I signed up for the adventure of a lifetime.
Montagna's tour was the perfect blend of guided tour and individualism,
attentive enough to guide us to the key things we needed to see, without
creating an overbearing tour where every second is planned out".
