Be part of an authentic Arctic adventure the when driving your team of dogs. Dog sled has been used for travel and hunting for centuries throughout the Arctic region. Dog sledding consist of a musher, a sled and one or more dogs. It's an adventurous activity for your holiday in northern Norway. Be part of an authentic Arctic adventure when driving your own team of dogs on the outskirt of Tromsø. You will get some great advice from our guide to help you have a wonderful experience as a musher (driver) and become one with nature.
All our 84 friendly Alaskan huskies have names and different personalities. They love to run and receive cuddles. We travel over tundra and through forests and you will get in close contact with both nature and dogs. During daytime, you will get a beautiful view towards the Lyngen Alps, and during dark season you can experience the northern light dancing above us. Two people share each sled and we will stop along the way to change mushers and to take photos.

Service Not Provided and No Refund

1.00I had a confirmed booking and arrived at the pickup point on time, but the bus left without me. Despite this, the company refused to offer any alternative solution or refund and instead suggested taking an expensive taxi at my own cost. The service was not provided as booked, and the customer support was unhelpful and dismissive. Very disappointing experience, especially for tourists relying on clear communication and fair treatment.
This was our favorite excursion!

5.00This was terrifying and fun all in one! Learning to drive the sled was a bit intimidating and it was hard work, so make sure you have a bit of physical endurance. I would highly recommend using their boots, snow suits and gloves so that you stay warm when you’re riding. Definitely a highlight of our entire trip to Norway. We booked this excursion through Viator.

5.00The staff was very friendly and had a very good knowledge of the dogs’ personalities rather than just their names. Several of the participants made frequent mistakes (not breaking correctly, etc) despite well articulated instructions, which unfortunately caused a lot of stops along the way. However, it was still a great experience overall!
Not the nicest dog far we have seen

3.00I have been dogsledding many times and this farm did not impress me. Many shy antisocial dogs. Feels like dogs that dont enjoy people are kept in the kennel despite this being detrimental for the dogs and the guest experience. They should be given away to families to enjoy a quieter life, like most other kennels do. Some clearly limping dogs, some dogs with a nasty goose cough. Many skinny dogs. Fur not beautiful and shiny. We went with a cruise group and definitely didnt receive what the website describes: no clothes (they dont have enough for big groups). No guiding, just a short explanation on how to sit on the sled. The group was split in two and there was either sledding or just petting the dogs and self service hot drinks and cakes. No self driving. The ride was beautiful and the mushers were nice. But several people in our group left with a feeling of this all being suboptimal.
Amazing dogs! Amazing adventure!

5.00No snow but still got to go. Instead of sleds we used buggies with tires. It was great. Everyone is friendly and the dogs love the attention.
Stunning views and Huskies! The perfect morning in Tromso!

5.00My boyfriend and I had a lovely morning with the Norwegian travel team today! From start to finish, everything was easy and the team made a real effort to compensate (as there was no snow). We did wagon wheeling instead which was so much fun, then we headed back, met all 115 dogs and the pups, and then enjoyed some delicious homemade soup and cake in front of the fire in the tipi. If we came back to Norway, we would 100% do this excursion again!

5.00We had an unforgettable experience with the dogs! The entire adventure, from the thrilling ride to getting to know each dog and giving them some well-deserved pets afterward, was just incredible. The dogs were so friendly and full of energy, and it was clear how much they love what they do. The team was equally amazing—so welcoming and knowledgeable. They truly made the experience special. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique and heartwarming adventure with great people and wonderful dogs 👌
