Bearhill’s tours on this site

In winter, the Santa Claus Village husky ride is a short passenger ride: outer winter clothing is included, a musher drives, and the whole activity fits into around half an hour. The details are on our Santa Claus Village page. In autumn, the Born to Run cart tour covers 4 km on a wheeled cart in a small group, in the weeks before the snow allows sleds; it sits with the other autumn formats on our autumn page.

What reviewers of the village ride say

One reviewer of the village ride describes healthy-looking dogs with protected paws and a guide who explained the kennel’s rehoming programme for retired dogs. The critical voices are about the format rather than the dogs: a wait despite a booked slot, and the feeling that a ride of a few minutes is expensive. Both are part of what a short, slot-based ride in a busy village is. Plan a buffer, and choose it for what it is.

Who Bearhill’s rides suit

Not ideal if…

What visitors to Bearhill’s village ride say

Praise for the dogs and their care, criticism of waiting and of the price for a short ride: the same short format seen from both sides.

“wow amazing, great value for money the dogs seemed and looked healthy. Thier little feet were protected and our guide told us all about their rehoming programme when they retire … the ride even though short felt like a long time and enough for the experience. …”

“Good but have to wait for 15mins even booked at specific time”
CL · Hong Kong · April 2026 Santa Claus Village Husky Ride · Bearhill husky
“It was disappointing; very expensive for an 8–10-minute experience. The location is amazing, and the experience is great, but I'm not sure if it's worth it.”
