Husky Sled Ride Northern Lights Tour from Kiruna
Overview
Available languages
3 hours
Mobile ticket
Sit Back and Relax whilst sitting on the sled driven by the guide. You can relax and look up at the sky whilst being pulled by a team of eager huskies. We mush approximately 13 kms and stop half way at our teepee located at an optimal point to see the northern lights. Here we stop to enjoy a cup of warm tea or coffee and warm up by the fire. You also have the chance to admire the amazing scenery and hopefully the aurora show. The dogs would love a cuddle, so you can get up close and personal! From here we mush back to the kennel. Once back at the kennel you return our borrowed gear and we drive you back to Kiruna or Icehotel by minivan. Pls Note that end of March and April it is no longer dark during our Aurora tours. Still beautiful dusk but chances to see the aurora on the actual sled is not likely due to no longer having darkness at the time of the tour.

What To Expect
Husky Tours Lapland
At the kennel we give you warm gear to borrow, instructions on how to sit on the sled safely and head off into the wilderness. Along the way we look up and try to spot the aurora. After approx 6 kms we stop at our teepee which is located at a great spot to view the aurora if she shows. We make a fire, drink a cup of coffee with a cinnamon roll and hopefully get to spot the aurora and take some pictures before getting back on the sled towards the kennel.

5.00Great experience! No lights when we went, but sledding through trees and across a frozen lake was amazing. Boots, gloves, goggles and snow suits were supplied and much appreciated!
Thrilling and exciting!

5.00We really enjoyed the tour, it was thrilling and exciting. Our guide Lucas was very informative and helpful. The dogs were taken care of very well, it’s obvious that they love all 81 of their dogs since they remember every single one of the dogs’ name. Sadly we didn’t get to see the northern lights since it was cloudy. Will definitely recommend this activity!

5.00Absolutely amazing experience. A friend and I decided to do the ride on a whim and had an amazing experience. They picked us up from Kiruna, gave us a ride out to the dogs, and had a great chat with the driver on our way there and back. We got suited up in excellent provided cold weather gear, met our driver and off we went into the forest. Halfway through we stopped for tea around a fire in a Sami building and met the dogs who could not have been better behaved. The northern lights lit up brightly as we relaxed, we took tons of photos under the lights and with the dogs then headed back under the incredible lights all over the sky. When we got back we got to feed the dogs, unharness them, and bring them back to their kennel. After we had the chance to play with the puppies that the place had recently received. Genuinely a 10/10 experience, worth the money without a doubt.
Exceeded expectations. Fantastic fun

5.00From the moment of arrival at the airport in Kiruna to the minute we got dropped off a week later, it was first class service and the most incredible experience. Being in the Arctic, dog sledding, seeing the awesome Northern Lights, the food, and the wonderful support if the Husky Tours family was exceptional. I honestly couldn't fault anything. I cant wait to come back again, and I will. Simon
Cold but good experience

4.00We enjoyed the ride despite the -24c and no Northern Lights seeing although the night was clear. The stop at the tipi to stretch the legs and get a little warmer was appreciated.mor The only thing we were missing was a proactive verbal input by Kent about the dogs, the breeding, the training, the food, the problems etc etc. Getting involved in the daily life of the family and their dogs would have given it a personal touch. We had to ask questions in order to find out some aspects. There was no information in the kennel of the puppies either, however we enjoyed getting to know the new generation :-)

1.00My boyfriend and I have booked and paid for this trip and for weeks have been trying to get hold of the providers, with no response to any emails or answers to any phone calls on multiple phone numbers. This is unacceptable. This is a serious trip in some extreme conditions and we have questions and need assistance to prepare. It is unacceptable that the providers can take so much money and provide zero support.
A perfect evening

5.00We had such a great time. Our tour guide was fun and easy to talk to. The forest at night was absolutely beautiful and we were lucky enough to get a great show from the northern lights. The dogs were so sweet. It was well worth the money.
Best experience in Kiruna
