One of my favorite things I’ve done

5.00I travel quite a bit and do a lot of activities on my trips and this was easily one of my top 5 favorite things I’ve ever done. Easy pickup and transportation to the kennels. They give you a snowsuit and boots to use and also have waterproof mittens if you need them. You don’t need to bundle up more than a normal day. First, you get to meet and pet some of the dogs before you go on the sled and they even see you off by howling as you leave. Then you get to your sled. I went solo and was paired up with another solo traveler. One driver and one passenger. The driver has to pay attention to the dogs, the trail and distance between sleds so they can’t take pics. Good thing is, you get multiple stops to change drivers. It’s pretty exhilarating driving a sled pulled by 6 dogs and the dogs just want to run. When we have to stop, they howl until they get to run again. After the 10-11km tour, we get to have coffee/tea/hot cocoa and cake in a heated tent and talk about the dogs and they answer your questions, if you have any. Then you get to see the puppies!
A great experience...

5.00A highlight of our time in Norway. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. The dogs are social and clearly happy and well cared for. They were so joyful to pull the sled! We enjoyed it (adult/teen family). Short drive from Tromsø and beautiful views.

5.00Extremely fun experience to do in Tromso! The dogs are all very friendly and excited and just want to run and pull you along. The owners will provide snowsuits and detailed instructions so it is easy to pick up as well as give you cake and hot chocolate after which is extremely delicious.
Husky sledding through a magical winter wonderland

5.00Excellent from start to finish. A comfortable minivan ride to get there, greeted by our friendly host who handed out our clothing gear then it was time to make friends with these gorgeous dogs. After much patting and cuddles, we jumped on our sleds, and the dogs were so excited to begin. My husband and I shared a sled pulled by 6 husky, and we swapped turns as driver and passenger over the hour ride. The sledding was magical as we passed over thick snow-covered wilderness, passing by the gorgeous lake and eventually back to base where we were served hot drinks and the most delicious carrot cake I have ever tasted. We even got to see a litter of puppies
One of the best things I...

5.00One of the best things I did in the Tromsø area - a must do if you love dogs and the outdoors. Everything was well organized, fun, and not too far of a drive. Highly recommend!

5.00This tour was hands down the best part of my trip to Tromso. It was well organized and the guides were informative and friendly. We were able to pet/stay with the dogs before and after the sledding experience. I was nervous about driving the sled, but it was easy and fun! The dogs are so strong and fast- such good pups!
