Notes about Muktuk
Pricing
Many factors affect pricing for
our dog-sledding adventures. Below are the four most important
factors. If you have any questions about these issues, or
any other aspect of Muktuk, please do not hesitate to ask
us.
|
 |
1] Dogs First! Best Dog Care |
|
 Our
first priority is excellent and humane dog care, so we try to
give our dogs the best possible care from birth throughout their
lives. For example, we use a top quality food all year round,
not just seasonally.
We also do our best to provide quality medical care for all
our dogs, including our older dogs. They work hard for us in
their younger years, so we give them a special retirement program.
|
|
 Finally,
we never "cull" our kennel, and very seldom sell or
place dogs (except when we help with rescues). Our senior dogs
get special care, and special food.... treated like royalty.
To put our dog care beliefs into practice involves increased
costs, for vet care, food and medications. But we believe
the guests who want to come to Muktuk are people who support
this philosophy. |
| |
|
2] Customized Learning Adventure |
|
 At
Muktuk, we specialize in customized learning adventures, programs
that allow our guests to progress at their own pace, and achieve
whatever level they aspire to.
To offer this type of program, we keep the size of groups
small (4 people per guide). A smaller group lets our guest
have a bigger and better experience in the extraordinary beauty
of the Yukon wilderness.
We also keep our programs flexible, to allow for modification
at any time, to accommodate the interests and abilities of
each guest. The cost is a bit higher, but the return is beyond
measure. |
| |
|
3] Safety & Guiding Excellence |
|
 Safety
and guiding excellence are also of critical importance for Muktuk.
All our staff have First Aid certification, with our main guides
certified in Wilderness First Aid, or higher. Our staff start
work in September, well before clients arrive, so that they
can undergo training and work with the dogs. All our equipment
and trips are all selected and planned with safety in mind.
Everything from the SAT phone to the snow hook is carefully
considered |
| |
|
4] Inclusive Pricing |
|
 Prices
for tour packages include meals, accommodations, equipment,
camping gear, ground transportation and outer clothing (as needed).
We don't want guests to have extra or unexpected costs.
The only other costs you would have are travel to the Yukon,
personal insurance, and personal items (including alcoholic
beverages, if you want them). No charge for great skies, fantastic
aurora borealis, or wildlife sightings. |
