Winterdance - Ontario Sledding Adventures in Haliburton Resort

Winterdance offers various packages to suit people who just want a taste of Dogsledding in Ontario to people looking for a more complete experience and even people looking for romance! Our trips book up quickly (especially on weekends) so advance reservations are highly recommended.

One Hour Tour
We will instruct you in the basics of sledding, including how to harness a dog and hook them to the sled, and how to drive a team of 4 Siberian Huskies. However, people who want to enjoy Dog sledding from the basket of the sled, with a guide driving are also easily accommodated (with advance notice). We do these tours at our kennel and our beautiful trail system on Blue Heron Trail Road. You will actually be on the trail for approximately 30-40 minutes. Reservations are highly recommended!

Half-Day Tour
By far our most popular tour as you really get an opportunity to know your dogs and get a true feel for handling a sled! These trips are run out of our Blue Heron Road Trail system, and offer a variety of trail conditions, including challenging rugged, forested terrain, and a small lake system. Novices are welcome as you will be given complete instructions on rudimentary Dogsledding skills. The trip includes a stop midway for a snack and warm beverages (provided) and is a great opportunity for those "Kodak moments"! We offer 2 of these tours every day with the instruction sessions starting at 9:00 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. After instructions you will be on the trail for approximately 2 1/2 - 3 hours, with additional time at the end for photos & rewarding your dogs! Reservations required.

Full-Day Tour
The full day tours take place out of our Blue Heron Road Trail System (the Haliburton trails we run are exclusively for sledding and have no snowmobiles on them). The full tour starts around 9:00 a.m. with an instruction period of approximately 1/2 hour, you will get a chance to harness your own dogs and hook them up! We will go into far more detail on Dogsledding techniques, styles, etc. then in the shorter trips. We will then head out on the trail for the day, stopping for morning and afternoon snacks (for people and dogs) and taking a layover at noon to have a hot cooked lunch by a roaring campfire (all food is provided and we guarantee you won't leave hungry). Please let us know if anyone in your group has special dietary needs. The trip will end around 4:00 p.m.

Moonlit Run
These runs will happen at our Blue Heron Road Trail System. Dogsledding at night is truly an incredibly moving experience and one that is impossible to put into words. With a crisp, clear night, the stars and moon radiating off the snow can be so bright you may not even need your head lamp or the lanterns. There is also such silence, all you hear is the runners on the snow and the breath of the dogs - a truly magical experience. The trips will start around 7:00 p.m. with brief instructions. We will then hit the trail for about 30 minutes until we reach a clearing with a roaring fire. There we will spend about 40 minutes with appropriate refreshments being served. Those looking for some romance will have some private time to gaze at the moon and stars and possibly even hear the howls of wolves. By the time we sled out again, the trip will end around 9:00 p.m.

Winterdance is very flexible when it comes to customer service, they also have multi-day tours and special occasions or preferred requests to address their customers desires.

Rates for sledding only - prices per person + GST are

• 2 hour tour - $85
• 1/2 day - $140
