  • Night drive when snowing

    Picked up and dropped off at the agreed point. It decided to snow, so no Northern lights, but driving through the snow was an experience in itself at night, rushing through the forest, past and over a couple of bridges, over the small rivers. The lady leading us, gave us a safety briefing and tips at the start, and made sure we were ok. She answered questions at the end, when putting away the dogs, and later having a hot drink. We had about 1 and a quarter hours of actual driving the dog sled (a long time it feels like), swapping half way (if you wanted to), and covering about 10km's in total.

    Our guide was lovely. Such a great teacher. Took her time to show us the ropes and made sure safety was a priority. She was always checking on us and made sure to stop a few times to check the northern lights. After the sledding we got to meet and greet the wonderful dogs. Such a fun experience.

    Norway was one of the greatest countries we have visited, and this experience was truly transcendent, exhilarating, and magical. The Northern lights would have been great, but the dogs and the Tundra were what it was all about. Our guide and musher were outstanding, regrettably, however, we’re terrible with human names (possibly Enrico). There’s a special dog named Mira, whom holds my heart though <3.

  • Brilliant, exciting trip through breathtaking landscape...Book it now!!

    Fabulous once in a lifetime experience. Some confusion about the meeting point but this was easily and speedily clarified when I emailed the contact at Viator. A real bonus being collected from the cruise port. The guides were lovely, the trail we followed was varied and exciting - like going through Narnia! Being able to drive your own team of huskies was something a lot of other tours did not include and was so exciting. We swapped drivers half way through, but still had over 30 mins each. Boots, snowsuits, gloves etc were provided, but we both got a bit cold when we were passenger, so make sure you wear loads ( especially on your feet). If we find ourselves in Alta again, we will definitely book another trip.
