Boreal Kennels is a dog sledding and snowmobile outfitter based in Carcross, Yukon. The operation offers a range of guided experiences that showcase the Southern Lakes region, from short half-day runs to immersive multi-day expeditions. Guests drive their own teams of northern huskies on half-day, full-day, overnight and multi-day dog sledding adventures, including specialized itineraries that span two, three, five and seven days. Snowmobile tours run through the same frozen landscapes with half-day, full-day and overnight options, and participants can choose single or double occupancy for snowmobile trips. Guides at Boreal Kennels provide instruction in mushing, trail safety and backcountry awareness, and meals and camping logistics are included on overnight excursions. Many itineraries highlight opportunities to observe local wildlife and, in winter months, to view the northern lights. All trips depart from the Carcross area and use locally maintained trails across the Southern Lakes region. Boreal Kennels emphasizes responsible, guided wilderness travel with experienced teams that handle dog care, route planning and guest safety. The kennel focuses on offering authentic Yukon winter experiences: driving sled teams, learning survival techniques, and spending nights under clear northern skies. Reservations are recommended for peak winter months and multi-day trips due to limited space. Trip lengths and difficulty vary; itineraries are described for each offering so guests can choose an appropriate option. Booking details and seasonal availability are posted on Boreal Kennels' site.
