Our unique Malusky Husky Sled Dog Rides are perfect for anybody who is seeking an adventure like no other. Let our musher and our beautiful dogs take you on a journey through bushland in the Hunter Valley. Get ready for a ride with a difference.
Under the control of the musher, you will see the Hunter Valley forest from a completely different perspective. On your arrival at our venue we will explain the sequence of events and any additional safety briefing before proceeding to the kennels to meet the ever excitable huskies.
You will be able to observe the dogs being harnessed, (and can even harness a dog yourself if you wish), and also the preparation of the dog sled cart. Your team will consist of 6 to 8 dogs to ensure you feel the action packed sport of dog sledding. After all the dog team is harnessed, it is time to fit your helmet and get you seated in the cart in anticipation of this unique experience. This is also the perfect opportunity for a few photos.
The musher will stand on the back of the cart and it is all systems go and your excited team of huskies will take off, eager to give you the dog sled ride of a lifetime. Ride times may vary depending on the dogs, weather conditions on the day, and which trail is used.
After your thrilling ride, you will arrive back at the dog yard, where the dogs harnesses are removed and a drink and treat is given to the team. At this point you will have the opportunity to discuss the high points of your ride and ask any questions you might have about the ride.
Before heading home you will be able to enjoy a relaxing warm drink and snack and will also be able to discuss the experience and the sport with the mushers and dog handlers.
