Snow! What snow? This one of a kind team does not need snow when Mushing along in tropical Jamaica. The hottest tour on land, the coolest team on the ice, is now ready for you to be part of the adventure.

The world famous Jamaica Dog Team is located at Chukka Cove farm and offers two distinct tours; The Experience and The Encounter.

The moment you arrive, your host Isabella will give you a Mush Mon Jamaican welcome and then it’s off to the ‘Dog Yard.’

Learn the amazing history of Sled Dog Sports and the fascinating story of how we brought this traditional winter sport to Jamaica.

See the only Sleddog Museum south of the Arctic Circle; hear stories from our Jamaican Mushers about their grueling races in Alaska and the Yukon Territory. Learn about our mutts most of whom came to us from shelters like the Jamaica SPCA. We call them our “Second Chance Stars”. Watch the trailer of their documentary, Sun Dogs.

Then it is into the kennels to meet the mutts who will all greet you with a ‘lick and a handshake’, learn their names, hear their life stories, pet, cuddle and hug these magnificent mutts.

Help your Jamaican Musher harness his dogs, and watch as he takes them out for a thrilling high speed exhibition run using a “Dry-land Rig” that we use for racing. The dogs can hit speeds of 30MPH as they charge around the Doggie Arena. This run will bring back memories of Charlton Heston and the chariot race in the Hollywood classic movie Ben Hur.

Only in Jamaica, with Chukka Caribbean Adventures can you find the Jamaica Dogsled Encounter.

This tour is a must do in Jamaica. Our Canine Team is panting... just waiting to meet you. See you at Chukka Cove Farm.
