What To Expect
We invite you to our Aurora Camp, where our professional guides will host you for the evening. Above our center, located 30 minutes away from Tromsø and the city lights, the night sky is dark and well-suited for Northern Lights watching. While you wait for the lights to appear, your guide will give you some insight into the natural phenomenon Aurora Borealis. You can also cuddle with our 200 huskies and their puppies and learn about the dog sled racing, breeding, and animal welfare on a guided tour of our kennel. Our thermal suits and boots will keep you warm in the Arctic winter night! In our cozy Gamme-hut, dinner will be served around an open fire. Try Bacalao, a traditional Norwegian fish dish with Portuguese roots made from regional produce (vegetarian option is available upon preliminary request), and a piece of our signature chocolate cake. While you eat, your guide will keep a close eye on the sky and inform you about any Aurora activity! After dinner, there is time to watch the Northern Lights, take pictures, and say goodbye to the dogs before we head back to Tromsø. This tour does NOT include dog sledding and is NOT a Northern Lights chace.

Great experience!

5.00A truly enjoyable experience, both for the visit to the sled dogs and for the dinner and subsequent bonfire. Do not expect sled dogs as you imagine them but because performing sled dogs are never Huskies and will explain it to you along with many other very interesting information. The fish soup dinner I must say excellent. Too bad there was little time to see the aurora but this is not an "aurora hunting" experience so if it looks good otherwise you will enjoy the bonfire experience with marshmallows. We were very satisfied!!
Underwhelming

3.00This tour is just a tour to visit the dog kennels. Northern lights isn't really part of it. The dogs are nice but by night time they are tired so most are in their kennel. Only around 10 or so dogs were out with around 40 people. Visit the puppies but it's very brief. The best bit was the meal. Afterwards a strange talk is given about the northern lights whilst toasting marshmallows or rolling down a hill as was said? This tour was the most underwhelming tour I had in Tromso. If you want to see the dogs, book a husky sled tour instead.
Fantastic way to spend an evening.

A little misleading title about content of experience

3.00We took the bus to a group of houses where we changed into one of their snowsuits. They didn’t smell good. I had done a tour of the Northern Lights before so I expected this would be a chase of the lights maybe accompanied by one or two dogs. It says “husky visit”, right? No, you are taken to a dog compound and it’s not until you get around the dogs and they start pooping and peeing all over their houses that you realize you need to be careful where you step….. we ended up staying there for what felt like an hour and then they took us to the puppies and then took us to eat soup which was actually really good along with chocolate cake and then we went out by the fire, which was lovely to have marshmallows over a fire, and in their defense, there were no northern lights because it was bad weather that night. But one thing I’ve learned chasing the northern lights is that if you’re only going to go to one fixed location your probability of seeing the northern lights is very low because if you look at the northern lights app, it will tell you where they’re expected to be and statistically the odds of them always being at this one place is very little to none so this really shouldn’t be anything about Northern lights. The title should be “dog compound visit with soup and fire” that’s really what it’s about. It’s not about the northern lights at all really in my opinion. Nice experience but description doesn’t adequately describe the real experience.
Nice experience but would be improved with stay there and in the morning sledging with animals

4.00Seeing the contact with the dogs exists but there is little and they are tied, that if it is understood that if it would not be crazy but the truth we did not understand correctly, we believed that we would drive sledge, for the price it was worth If I came back again I'd sleep there in the morning I'd sledge it was an option that didn't appear on Viator or I didn't see it, it would have been ideal We were lucky to see the auroras, and it's close to Tromso so no beatings, food and service of 10 The Spanish boy who attended us I don't remember his name now but I work the night shift of December 17 a charm, although not for that the others less, we got very short
Definitely a Must Do in Tromso!!

5.00This was an amazing experience from start to finish. We saw the Northern Lights immediately, which was an absolute bonus. Then they took us in to pet ALL the dogs. The handlers are all so knowledgeable and taught you all about them. Next we had a lovely dinner (vegetarian option was so good). Finally we went out by a campfire to admire the lights and the guides gave a talk about them as well. Obviously, the northern lights aren’t a guarantee, but this would have been worth it without them.
Absolute must do. We were...
