Experience the renowned Iditarod Sled Dog Race with this exciting getaway in early March, launching this iconic sled dog race in Alaska. Be at the raceway for the Ceremonial Start and then the Official Restart of this historic dog sledding competition. This Iditarod tour features a five-night stay in Anchorage and a guided trip to the Official Iditarod Race Restart in Willow, Alaska. Professional mushers take off on their journey to Nome in Alaska’s Far North Region. You will also take a scenic sightseeing tour along Turnagain Arm or upgrade to a short plane flight to one of the first checkpoints along the Iditarod Trail. On your last day, you will get the opportunity to try out dogsledding yourself.
Meals unless noted above, transfers between your hotel, the airport and day tour starting points, and gratuities.
The program will include a combination of hotels or motels that are considered moderate to standard tourist class. Please be aware not all hotels have shuttle services.
If you would like to book the standard program but with upgraded rail seating, the option and surcharge will be listed when you save to your cart.
The program will include standard rooms at this category of hotel where possible. Alaska has very limited hotel choices in remote areas and small towns. The properties will typically offer a wider range of services such as a full-service restaurant, room service and perhaps a pool or spa facilities. Please be aware the upgraded accommodations in downtown Anchorage do not have hotel shuttle services. Many of the upgraded hotels also offer guaranteed view rooms for additional cost. If you would like a specific room type, in addition to the upgraded program, please ask us about availability and cost difference.
All journeys between Anchorage and Whittier are in standard seating as deluxe dome cars are not available on that route.
Thank you again for the great job you did in setting this up. We would not hesitate to recommend you and your company to any friends or acquaintances who express an interest in Alaska travel.
