Best experience so far. Husky sledge run was nice and long, plenty of opportunity to enjoy the scenery. Afterwards we were invited to feed our own Husky teams and make a fuss of them. All the dogs were extremely friendly. Our favourite experience on this holiday, well worth the money.
Wonderful trip with the Huskys - fully recommended!!!

Indescribably beautiful trip. We were picked up at the port in Alta. The start is in the middle of the winter landscape. Our guide Adam explained everything great to us and then it started. We drove the sleds for almost an hour. An experience we can only recommend to all. This trip is worth every cent!!!

Our sled guide Adam was great. You can tell he’s very passionate about the dogs and their wellbeing, and he explained a lot of the practices to maintain their mental & physical health, their routines, training, etc. The huskies are all super sweet and loved receiving all the pets after our sled ride!
A must do experience
