Reviews of Kingmik Dog Sled Tours (Travel Agency)

Aurelie Cbd

We had the Great Divide Tour yesterday and we had such an amazing time. The weather was perfect with beautiful sun, blue sky and fresh snow. Megan and her dogs put all of their heart and effort to offer the best experience to their guests. The dogs are very well taken care of, and Megan has a word to describe every single one of them and their personality. The scenery was also gorgeous, with beautiful views on the mountains. It wasn't my first experience going dog sledding in Canada but it was definitely the best one ! Go for it !!!

Shirl Lockwood

What a fantastic experience! So lovely to see how well treated the dogs were and they were so eager to be out there running with the sled.

Ange Xu

This was an amazing experience! The guides were knowledgeable and the dogs were super friendly. We had such a lovely time riding deep into the woods - everything was so pristine and beautiful :) I highly recommend taking a tour with this company if you can!

Peaches gives it 4 paws out of 4!

We had the Great Divide tour today. 2 sleds, our dog sled tour guides were amazing. It was such a breath taking experience. One check off our bucket list. Worth every penny. The Alaskan huskies were full of energy, and those dogs definitely left paw prints in our hearts. Thank you Megan and your team. ????????

Julia Morett-Egener

The staff were very kind, personable and had a lot of experience. I enjoyed learning more about the dogs, getting to feed them, and try out the sledding aspect on the way back. I had a great time! Definitely check these guys out.

Kamilla Aubakirova

My boyfriend and I had the most amazing time on the Narnia Tour in February 2020. We spent a weekend away in Banff for my 18th birthday and dogsledding with Kingmik Dog Sled Tours was the highlight of our getaway. The dogs are well taken care of and very friendly. The amazing team was so kind and informative and really worked well with their dog team! We highly recommend this Kingmik and think everyone should try our dogsledding when visiting Banff! These are just some of the photos that our tour guide took of us on the tour! We will treasure these memories forever. Huge thank you to everyone on the team!

Mahnoush Mohammadi

We really enjoyed the tour. Our guide Kevin was super friendly and we really had good time chatting with him asking questions about the area, dogs .... I absolutely recommend them ????

Elmien Wingert

Kids had a great time and were regaled with stories of the origin of dog sledding, the races and the history behind each dog's name. James was an awesome guide and his enthusiasm and fun demeanor kept everyone engaged.

Ron and Nancy Watson

Our group had so much fun. Mushers were fabulous and Megan gave us lots of great information before hand. The dogs were well mannered and well looked after. Such a great group of people and dogs. The trails were beautiful and the sleds were comfortable. We really recommend coming out and having fun with Kingmik Dog Sled Tours.

Junior

The whole experience is just amazing. Quick introduction before We got into the sleigh and off we go. Views are simply breathing and the guide has a lot of great info of the area. We had a 3 year old child with us and he loved the dogs and the sleigh ride.

Dina Zhang

We had our tour done with Kylie - she was very friendly and personable, she explained the process to us in great detail, she has been doing this for 10 years! We had a lot of fun, the dogs are extremely adorable and kind. Great experience, highly recommend!

Cassie Graves

We had the most amazing time on our dog-sledding experience. From the moment we started talking to our guide Jared, it was incredibly evident the care, passion, and dedication that goes into each dog and their relationship with their musher. Jared answered any and all questions we had about the dogs, Banff, how he got into mushing, etc. We'd highly recommend a Kingmik tour to anyone who visits the Banff/Lake Louise area!

Devyn Dodge

The dogs are incredible. The guides were amazing. It was a fantastic time.

Nicole Wood

Had a great time! Great guides and dogs:)

Ryan Miller

100 percent you need to do this! Dogs are awesome, owner was great and knowledgeable.

Jennifer McFarlane

A wonderful experience. As a dog owner, I was very impressed with how healthy and well trained the dogs were. The guides were very happy to tell us all about their selection processes, care of their dogs, and adoption process when they retire. It was clear the dogs were very happy and well loved. The tour itself was picturesque and very enjoyable. Worth the price, for sure.

Tom Saleeba

Amazing! The whole experience was so much fun and it's great to see the dogs so happy. Cynthia and Megan made us feel really welcome and happily answered all our questions, that I'm sure they get asked by everyone. You should go dog sledding, and you should go with these guys!

Anne McIntosh

Our family did the 20 minute dog sled trip with a fabulous team of dogs. This was an outstanding experience for us and so well done. We definitely recommend it.

Melissa Buck

My absolute favorite part of my BANFF trip! Surreal experience. The dogs were sooo adorable and happy (loved watching them reach out their heads to cronch on snow during their run). Guide was awesome, views were UNREAL. So peaceful. The only disappointment was saying goodbye! Wish I could be out there every day. :)

Betsy Turner

Cynthia was awesome and the dogs worked hard for us! Amazing views and informative details of the outdoors. Well worth the trip and cost. A great bucket list item!

Anna Carroll

From the midst of covid doom and gloom in the UK we were so lucky to have the memories of our fantastic trip along the great divide trail with Kingmik to look back on.The scenery was spectacular but what made the experience special was the joy radiated by the Musher, James, while working with his dogs.All the dogs seemed happy and well cared for and obviously relished running on the trail.We had a chance to drive the sled which was exhilarating while James gave us a knowledgeable and fascinating commentary on his dog team and other local fauna.If only we could be there now!.I would thoroughly recommend this trip with Kingmik to anyone who wants their spirits lifted.

michael bryan

The tour is great, and the dogs are happy bundles of energy. But it is cold so dress warm. They do provide a sleepi g to cover yourself with but your face and hands will be exposed so dress for the weather. Getting to the trailhead was easy and parki g is available. Note if staying at the Fairmont they have a shuttle. After the ride, you give the doggos so.e snacks and take pics 100 percent recommend the ride and hope to do it again so day.

Robin Affleck

Such a great experience. Our guide was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. She was very interesting telling her stories of her travels with her own dogs. Would highly recommend this to everyone!!

Erin Barnes

We love Kingmik so much, we adopted one of their retirees! We sledded with the team 2 years in a row, fell in love, and brought a sweetie home this last February to join another husky at home. This team is incredible, the dogs and humans :) the scenery is beyond breathtaking, and you will not regret this once in a lifetime experience (that I highly recommend you do MORE than once)!

Sara Wright

We had such an amazing experience. All of the dogs were happy and wonderful to be around. The sled driver we had was very knowledgeable and made the experience that much better. We would absolutely do this again!

Renata Yumi Nakazato

It's one of the best activities that you can do in the winter outside! It's fun, beautiful and totally worth to pay. I loved it and can't wait to do it again! The human staff at Kingmik is really nice, you can see that they care about their canine companions. The dogs are well treated and it's shown how they enjoy their work.

Courtney Babott

We had an absolute blast on our tour. We had big grins under our masks the whole time. We would do it again in a heartbeat and would recommend it to anyone. The views are spectacular, but the people and the dogs will melt your heart. Whether you consider Banff National Park as your backyard or come from afar this experience is a must-do before the season ends. Thank you so much, Megan, can't wait to do it again.

Jesús Gabriel Fernández Fuentes

I was there 2 years ago with my mom, and we have the best experience ever!. We hope to come back very soon! Thanks for everything.

Sharon Bergeron

Going on the Dog Sled Tour has been on my bucket list. The trip was amazing and would definitely do it again.Quick introduction before we got into the sleigh and off we go. Views are simply breath taking and the guide has a lot of great info of the area. Hope to see you again sometime.

Michael HUH

Fantastic experience. Our driver & guide Kylie and Megan were extremely nice and kind. Scenary from warm sled is A experience. It was -25 degrees but it was ok. Do bring ski outfits, boots, and goggles.

Jason Evans

Snowshoeing the trail Christmas day brought this up for a review. My wife and I went for a trip with Kingmik on our engagement trip in March of 2017, and it remains an incredible memory for us. The guides were amazing, the dogs happy and well cared-for, and we still find ourselves smiling whenever the memory comes up. Highly recommended!

Adrian Blackney

We had a blast! Just gliding over the snow in such a place was an otherworldly experience. Once in a lifetime. Highly recommend.

VoltageGames

This is the BEST dogsled tour company! I've been with others and Kingmik far surpasses its competitors. It is the only dogsled tour operator in Banff National Park, with incredible views, amazing knowledgable staff, and well cared for dogs. This company travels a full 16km on their 1.5 hr Great Divide Tour and they only take out 4-6 sleds at a time; at times you feel like you're the only one out on the trail. The dogs are the star of the show and LOVE their job! Lots of opportunity to play with the dogs. I would highly recommend this experience.

(Translated) A dog sled that you want to challenge once in your life, the first experience in life near Lake Louise! One way 8km, round trip 16km course using 1 hour. Not only refreshing feeling, but also superb views appear one after another, so your heart is filled with excitement. On the way, you can pass by people who are cross-country, It is also impressive that the dogs ate the snow and hydrated while running. It was faster than I had imagined, and it was a memorable memory. (Original) 人生で一度はチャレンジしてみたい犬ぞりを、レイクルイーズ近辺で人生初体験！ 片道8km、往復で1時間の16kmのコースを利用。 颯爽感だけでなく、絶景が次々と現れるので、感動で胸がいっぱいに。 途中、クロスカントリーをしている人ともすれ違ったり、 犬たちが走りながら雪を食べて水分補給をしていたのも印象的です。 想像していたよりもスピードが早く、とても心に残る想い出となりました。

Katie Hansler

My husband and I had several companies to choose from and we choose Kingmik because we wanted the experience of going to Lake Louise to do the sledding. I'm so glad we choose to go with them. Megan, our guide and the owner of the company, was just amazing! We were late getting to the meet up spot due to ski traffic but because we called ahead she waited for us. ???? The dogs we so eager to off and running that they were just so busy but as soon as we got onto the trail they were all business! It was so quiet on the trail away from all the bustle of the ski hills and the scenery was breathtaking! Megan shared a brief history of dog sledding in the area and made friendly conversation. I am so glad that we choose to go with Kingmik Dog Sledding and would tell anyone who is thinking of going dog sledding to pick them! During this crazy Covid Christmas I'm happy to support small businesses in Alberta!

Holly Yee

My husband and I took a dog sled tour for the first time with Kingmik and we absolutely loved it! The tour was a magical, wonderful experience: it was snowing gently the entire time of our tour, it was located in a beautiful part of the woods near Lake Louise, it was the right length of time/distance, our guide, Steph, was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, and the dogs were super cute. We would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone looking for something unique and special to do in Canada.

Ryanne A

Highlight of an already epic trip!! We absolutely adored meeting and feeding meat treats to the dogs, we loved our knowledgeable guide, and no words can describe the breathtaking views. Worth every penny and totally would do again, especially with a company that treats each dog so well! They clearly LOVE their job :)

Carey Leishman

We booked our second tour with Kingmik Dog Sled Tours the last week of December, 2017. We had gone the year before and loved it so much, when friends from Australia came to visit, we couldn't wait to take them out. The staff and dogs are AMAZING. I would highly recommend the Great Divide Tour, and have recommended it often to friends and family. You are able to meet and pet the dogs prior to and after the sledding, which the staff encourage. A few of the dogs especially love the cuddles, but are all business when they get to run. All round AWESOME experience. I would totally do it again.

darrell herrick

Awesome adventure, very friendly staff especially Megan. The dogs are great zip and fish

Yasmine R

A great experience, a bit expensive but worth every cent. Highly recommended.

Secret Santa

My sister and I went on this tour and everything was amazing! The dogs’ excitement was contagious and it was a joy to see them so happy to run through the wilderness. We did the Narnia trail and with the morning light coming through the trees, it felt like we really were in another fairyland. It was such a special way to take in the breathtaking Lake Louise landscape. Our guide was so kind, funny and sweet, and answered the million questions we had. So worth it! It fulfilled a dream I didn’t know I had. Made this trip so much more special!

Steven T

We had a blast! Our group of 8 really loved the experience. Watching the dogs work was amazing. We each had stories about the dogs on our team and about their different personalities. The scenery is beautiful and the guides were great! I would totally recommend the experience.

Albert Miquel

Had a great experience with wife and small kid. They took care of everything and went above and beyond to make sure our son was comfortable. Top service.

Justine Johannson

Magical experience. The dogs, the guides, and scenery - everything was amazing. Highly recommend it and worth the cost!

Chris Gillespie

We were fortunate to experience Kingmik Dog Sled Tours on New Year's Eve 2019. I have been a travel agent for nearly 20 years and this is without doubt one of the most magnificent experiences I have been able to share with my family. The feedback I had received from clients visiting Banff/Lake Louise was that this was an absolute must and that Kingmik were the best in the business so was keen to experience myself. The team was personable, knowledgable and showcased how beautiful the area is and how much the dogs loved what they do! Don't miss it!

Amazing experience, great company!

Frida Salcedo

My fiancé and I had the best time Dog sledding with Kingmik Dog Sled Tours in Banff this past January 2020. It was absolutely magical and snowing while on the tour. It was amazing to be pulled by a bunch of dogs that worked together.They all loved what they were doing. These dogs are so impressive and the trainers care for them so much. They can also be adopted once they don’t enjoy running the trails. Fish kept getting distracted(black dog back left kept looking at us), Cream(my fave such a lover) was learning how to lead. Grommet was on point leading and going right when needed. Super impressed. At the end we got to feed them a big slab of frozen meat which was awesome-they were all so excited and happy and wanted to run more. Definitely an experience I will never forget.we also were able to take command and stand with the instructor which was awesome. I absolutely recommend this to everyone and would do it again.

Ivanka

This is the BEST excursion we have ever done!! (I keep talking about it and showing all my pictures). We had an amazing time. I am so sorry I forgot our guide's Name but he was wonderful. I do remember a dog by the name of Garnet and Holly. The dogs are AMAZING!!!! The whole experience was AMAZING I do recommend you dress warmly Parka, snowpant use TOE AND Handwarmers. It is really cold. We used them and we were really comfortable.

Michele Cimon

Fantastic experience. Cynthia was a great guide, very informative, and the dogs were beautiful, amazing, such characters! Was an terrific way to end our first trip to beautiful Lake Louise. Will be back

KJ Maryka

This was so amazing. Wanted to do this or so long. It is so worth the price once you see why they need that money for the dogs and you can definitley tell it goes to the dogs. The owner was an incredible lady to get to know. The trail itself is beautiful and the dogs definitley enjoy doing it. Wish i could work for them!

Stacie Gibbs

We had an amazing time on our tour! Our guide Cynthia was extremely knowledgeable and personable and really cared for her dogs. I would highly recommend this tour as you learn about the surrounding area, anything you could imagine about the dogs, and anything else that isn’t even related to the dogs that you may have a question about involving Canada! We loved our time dog sledding, don’t miss out!

Andrew Hardie

Fantastic couple of hours. Great team of professionals both human and K9 ???? A thoroughly enjoyable experience and can’t say enough about Kingmik an their teams. Brilliant. ????????????????????

James Stewart

One of the best experiences of my life

Marc Kennedy

Quite frankly one of my favourite family outings...ever. First of all you will fall in love with these dogs within minutes of meeting them. In an hour we were able to see their personalities emerge as they dashed through fresh mountain snow. Our guides, James and Cynthia, filled our inquiring minds with fabulous Alaskan Husky knowledge and left us craving more. We were so awe struck by the speed, power, and endurance of these animals. Amazing. We’d do it again in a heartbeat! (We fell in love with Velo, a sweet 6 year old girl who is retiring.)

zoe marsden

Absolutely amazing experience - highly recommend! dogs were well cared for and clearly enjoyed doing their job, guides were lovely and scenery was spectacular - we will be back!

marc schulz

Such an excellent tour! These dogs are so well taken care of and you can tell that both Megan and her dogs are passionate about what they do! Very wonderful experience in all regards!!

Kelly Brand

Epically Canadian experience you will always remember! Friendly dogs, amazing staff, and breathtaking ride. The only thing we regretted was not upgrading to a longer ride because we loved it so much.

Ellen Day

We had an amazing experience! The dogs were well taken care of and loved every minute of it. The staff were very knowledgeable and welcoming.

Melinda Smith

This excursion was highly recommended by our hotel and glad we did it. Beautiful views, wonderful dogs, and truly an experience I will never forget.

M Kalynko

Our guide megan was so awesome and made our time amazing! Would recommend to anyone

Ash Kelsall

One of the most incredible experiences we’ve ever had! Our guide, Micheal was so wonderful with the dogs and made the tour so interesting. The dogs were also super friendly and just loved to run! Definitely don’t turn up this opportunity if given the chance - more than worth it!

Bill Bird

Once in a lifetime experience. Great views.

krisann johnson

We had the most amazing morning with Kingmik. Our guide was open and friendly and I like to think genuine when he said he enjoyed our company on the sled. The dogs are obviously well cared for and the desire to run is inbuilt, there was no encouragement needed. The experience itself was truly awesome, there is so much noise from the dogs when they are waiting to start and then bam!! absolute silence. The scenery is spectacular and seen in a way totally unique. The part of the ride through the forest rather than the open trails was breathtaking. I really can't praise the tour or the dogs and guide enough. I am unsure if we will ever be back that way in winter again, but we would most definitely be doing the ride again.

Jen Lancomb

Cancelled our tour short notice and offered no rebooking. Very disappointing and ruined our weekend .

Tina lunkenheimer

One of the most serene and incredible experiences we had while visiting Banff. The staff was extremely friendly, informative and helpful. The dogs were precious and so friendly to take pictures with and pet. The views were outstanding and the whole experience was well worth every dollar. It felt like something you would see in a movie! The second that it ended we wished we could do it all over again. This is a must do!

Laura Kennedy

Fantastic and unique experience. Very organized and professional with clear and well-followed Covid rules. We learned so much and enjoyed every minute!

George N

Had very terrible experience! Got 2 gift certificate for my parents ($350+). When they showed up to use them it was a bad weather and they were advised that tour is cancelled but company will make a refund. Company never refunded money back and when I was revising records and realized no refund, company only mentioned that they switched accounting system and will not be giving me my money back.

Jason & Teneal Nicolaou

We had such an amazing time on our dog sledding tour! We are from Australia & had never been to Canada before, so gliding through the snowy trees was like a winter wonderland! The dogs were so happy & actually have a great time on their run. The guides were very informative about all the dogs, knowing their names, telling you about each of their quirks & why they get given particular spots to pull the sled. I would not hesitate doing another dog sled tour with Kingmik!

Rebecca Perkins

Incredible experience with a very friendly and knowledgeable guide. Such a peaceful and relaxing journey to the Great Divide and back. Highly recommend. The dogs are beautiful, you will learn so much and most of all it is so much fun!

Alex Goran

My wife an I took a "babymoon" to visit Banff National Park in the middle of February. Some would say this was absolutely crazy with a fully pregnant woman and snowy treacherous mountains. We enjoyed the Spa at Banff Lake Louise and spent time taking short walks around in the snow. But our favorite activity was with Kingmik Dog Sled Tours!! They took us on a magical ride to the great divide! The experience couldn't have been more perfect and safe. My wife loved the dogs, she just wanted to stay all day and pet them and get loving from them. The tour guide held great convo and was very informative. Id do anything to see these pups again and to go on a run.

Brandon De Groote

Absolutely amazing experience. Would recommend to anyone looking to do this activity. The guides were super informative and you are able to interact with the dogs.

Pauline Nicoletti

This experience was amazing. I highly recommend it. Megan is amazing and we can see how much she loves her dogs. It was the first time for me to do dog sledding and I won't forget this amazing tour. Thanks again. Pauline

jessica Ledger

This company was amazing and we had the best time! I would highly recommend making this a bucket list item!!

Nathan Bartell

Amazing experience! Completely worth it. Scenery is beautiful, and the team guides are very friendly and knowledgeable. You can even ride on the back of the sled for part of the ride - or you can stay nice and warm inside the sled if that's more your thing. Don't forget your camera as there are lots of photo opportunities. If you're staying at the Chateau Lake Louise, it's a short and easy (and well marked) walk right to where it starts. Definitely an experience I'll remember for a long time!
