You’ll take home new knowledge, stunning photos and plenty of memories to cherish.

Entertainment from a pack of running huskies

Your group will get to see a live demonstration of a running 8-dog team using a quad bike on the track. Watch the huskies in their element, working and running together with endless energy to navigate the 800m track. For health and safety reasons we can’t offer sled rides—but through our live demonstration you’ll see exactly why huskies are born to race!

Education on husky sledding in NZ

A group tour at Timberline Huskies will teach you all about the history and nature of the Siberian Husky breed. Find out more about husky sledding in NZ and what it takes to keep a healthy and happy pack. We’ll reveal what makes a husky run, what makes them tick and what they need to be kept as a pet. See how the dogs are transported and what their day-to-day routine entails as we show you around our property in the countryside.

Connection with friendly dogs and pups

If you haven’t cuddled a gorgeous husky before, now is your chance! There’s plenty of evidence that spending time with animals can improve your wellbeing, and our soft and sociable huskies just love to interact with visitors. At the end of each tour, our pack of affectionate dogs is free to roam and mingle with guests. They’re very well trained, they all love children and all interactions are both safe and supervised. Take your own selfies with the dogs or ask one of our team to do the honours. Our huskies are very photogenic and just love the attention –check out our gallery for all the proof!

Post-tour refreshments for all

After the tour, enjoy refreshments on the deck with your group and Timberline Huskies owners Steve and Taniya. Warm up with a hot drink and a bite to eat on a cold winter’s day and take the opportunity to ask all the questions you like about our dogs, our experience and husky sledding in NZ.
