We spent a week at Sun Peaks for the skiing, but our dog sled ride with Mountain Man Adventures was the highlight of the week. This is a considered purchase, but absolutely worth the money for any dog lover. It was a magical ride through the woods with dogs who are happy, eager and well loved. Can’t recommend it highly enough.Our guide, Alison, was amazing. She drove the sled like a master and we felt very safe and warm bundled up inside. Being able to spend a little time with the beautiful and friendly dogs, including giving them a snack at the end of the ride, was a real treat for us.I will definitely go on a sled ride again when back at Sun Peaks. Kudos to Chris and Taryn for not only running such a smooth operation, but caring for these 45 dogs so well. Thank you!

A trip of a life time. From pick up to drop back in SunPeaks Village we could not stop smiling and enjoying ourselves. On arrival at the start we were greeted by the friendliest bunch of dogs you could ever meet. When the team were put together and Allison said go the dogs just wanted to go. After short rests along the way the dogs let know when they were ready to go again. From the comfort of the sled we watched snow covered scenery go by and were kept amused by each dogs personality and style coming to the fore. Allison, Chris and team not to forget the dogs you made this very special for us. Thank-you

The Bucket List dog sled tour is what I booked for my 17yo son and myself and it lived up to the branding! We had such a fun and memorable time. We were collected by the owner of the business who filled us in on all things to do with the sled dogs, and then had a terrific time out with our guide and our pack led by Turtles. The dogs are all super friendly and absolutely love their jobs - we laughed so much on the sled ride and then enjoyed feeding and cuddling the dogs afterwards. I am so glad we have these memories to take home to Australia, it really was a highlight of our trip!

I went dog sledding in Jan 2026 with my family and met Liam (who ran our sled) and the owner (who's name I can't remember). We had a great time. The kids loved it. It was very good to see the dogs, feed the dogs, pet the dogs, then go for a ride on the sled. It was beautiful going thru the forest and enjoying the whole experience.

We went snowmobiling and the day was epic! We habe done this at few times at whistler and the whistler experience was not even close to this. The difference is whistler takes you up a logging road and then you go back down. This was a ride through gorgeous trails in the forest the guides tailor your ride to your experience. I can’t say enough about this but I can say it was worth the money and it was an amazing day. If you can ask for Logan he was out guide and he was top notch! If you want to experience snowmobiling this is the place!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An unforgettable dog sledding experience! Our dog sledding experience with Mountain Man Adventure in Sun Peaks was absolutely amazing. Taryn and Chris run a wonderful family business with around 50 beautiful and energetic dogs, and you can truly feel the love and care they have for every single one of them. Dog sledding itself was an incredible experience, but what made it even more special was that they allowed us to feed the dogs and spend time with them before the ride. Their dogs are incredibly cute, friendly, and full of personality. The funniest part was that whenever we tried to pet them, they would gently nudge us, asking for belly rubs instead — which was absolutely adorable and made us laugh every time! Everything was very well organized, professional, and safe. If you have never experienced dog sledding before, I highly recommend trying it at least once — it’s truly unforgettable. Just make sure to book in advance, as reservations are required, and providing the number of passengers and their weight is important so they can properly match the dog teams. Thank you, Taryn and Chris, for such a memorable and heartwarming experience. We will definitely be back! 🐕❄️❤️

It’s great to be able to support such a professionally run local family owned business that cares so deeply for their beautiful and amazingly friendly dogs - thank you Chris and Taryn.

Did the cool runnings ski mobile tour and the bucket list dog sledding. Process was simple to book and easy communication for a couple of last minute changes. Pickup was from in The village. Taryn and the team were friendly and accommodating and provided a good knowledge and insight into the local area. Ski mobiles - new model ski doo sleds that were easy to drive. The tour provided a great look into ski the local forests with spectacular images of the snow, trees and scenic views of the local areas. Taryn also took the time to point out the various tracks of the native wildlife. Sled Dogs - comfortable and warm sleds with plenty of opportunity for interaction with the sled dogs. It was was easy to see the passion Taryn and Chris and their team have for the dogs and dog sledding.
