Since I was traveling alone I was paired with the lead driver and we had a ball, joking and laughing. It was a great opportunity to ask lots of questions about the dogs and their care as well as experience polar night. Even though I thought I had dressed warmly enough, I was not! They outfitted me with more gloves as well as socks and different boots, capped off with a one piece suit. Playing with the dogs was a big highlight for me. I highly recommend these lovely people!

Fantastic afternoon dogsledding! Our team of dogs was so lovely and friendly and happy to be out running, and it was very cool to get to drive the sled ourselves. The tour went through a great mix of forest and open spaces and felt like there was no one else around for miles. We assumed we would just sit on the sled and go, but it was so nice to get to say hello to the dogs and learn their names before we set off, and give them a treat after. Definitely recommend, a magical experience.

It was an incredible experience to try driving dog sledding with amazing guides and really nice dogs. The guides were really nice and professional and you can tell that they are keen to give each person a fantastic experience and you can also tell how concerned they are for the dogs and their well-being. Can really recommend everyone to come here to get an “once in a lifetime experience”
