Alaskan du Nord

Alaskan du Nord is a La Baie, Québec-based outdoor adventure operator specializing in dog-powered activities and Indigenous cultural experiences. The company operates a kennel of Alaskan huskies and offers guided experiences that include dog sledding, cani-rando walks, cani-kart training, kennel visits, and multi-hour packages in the boreal forest. Guests can join short group tours, private hikes, hands-on workshops for dreamcatcher and Indigenous jewelry making, and bilingual storytelling sessions led by Cathie (Iroquois) and Christian (Cree).
Programs are offered with practical logistics: a $7 shuttle from La Baie to the kennel is available, and guides handle dog preparation, harnessing, and instruction. For families, groups, and solo travelers, Alaskan du Nord provides age-friendly activities such as 30-minute group tours and longer Forfait Montagnais and Forfait Inukshuk packages that include hiking, camping, and shared meals.
Safety and animal welfare are part of the experience: guides introduce guests to the dogs, explain handling, and supervise interactive time at the kennel. The business emphasizes hands-on learning—participants assist with harnessing, prepare equipment for hikes or sled runs, and receive mushing instruction when driving a sled is offered.
Alaskan du Nord highlights cultural education through Animation Autochtone, where Indigenous storytelling and traditional knowledge are shared. All offerings are presented as on-site, third-party services in La Baie, Québec, allowing visitors to connect with nature, meet working huskies, and participate in authentic cultural and outdoor programming. Reservations and schedules vary by season; interested visitors should confirm availability, duration, and accessibility details directly with Alaskan du Nord before booking online.
