5.00Phenomenal experience dogsledding in Iceland! The dogs are very friendly and you are able to spend a decent amount of time with them before your ride. The mushers are lovely and share lots of dogsledding facts- it’s obvious that the dogs are their family. A bit pricey, and the ride lasts about 35 minutes, but our group decided it was worth the tough bill.
Unforgettable

5.00Hands down one of the coolest things I’ve ever done. Pickup from the hotel was very smooth. And once you get to the location you see all the dogs lined up ready to go. All are just howling with excitement to start running. You get to pet them and take pictures before starting and they’re all so sweet to play with. You get to take turns with people in the sled driving with the guide and they took us around the frozen lake. I’m always a bit skeptical about doing any activity animal related but you can tell the guides really love and care for the dogs. They mention they live with the dogs and they all know each and everyone’s name. Seriously one of the best things I’ve ever done and I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Reykjavik.
Best Experience in Iceland

5.00What a fantastic experience! The dogs clearly love the runout and it was so much fun on the ice. The guides were excellent and happily answered any questions we had. Our 7 year old son had the time of his life and really enjoyed being able to spend time with the dogs before and after the ride. Highly recommend this trip.

5.00Wow! Wonderful Experience!!! Our 10 year old son loved every single moment of it. Kristen was our guide and she made sure everyone was comfortable and had a chance to help drive the sled. The dogs are sweet and you can even give them some pets and cuddles at the halfway point. It’s a little tricky to find on Apple Maps - but Google maps can get you there very directly. Was -8C for our 2:05pm trip - so make sure you have excellent gloves and a scarf or something to cover your face. We were told we had the warmest run of the day - our guide did not even have a jacket on :) Seriously - just a wonderful experience.
Wonderful experience,...

5.00Wonderful experience, great for families. We came in February. About a 40 minute ride from Reykjavík city center. Very friendly and helpful staff. They offered everyone snow suits, I highly recommend using them. We came dressed in several layers but would have been uncomfortable without the suits, its not the temperature, but the wind chill. Our sled location was a frozen lake with snow cover. No snow in Reykjavík but snow on the ground at our location. The site is at a higher elevation than Reykjavík and as such is about 10 degrees F colder than in town, more wind as well. We were fortunate to have a clear sunny day. The dogs were very friendly and energetic, wanting to run. We were on the sled about 30 min or so, plenty of time for the experience. Everyone gets a chance to 'drive' from one of the rear runners. There is an experienced musher really controlling the dogs, they do have their own agenda, it takes a lot of attention to keep them focused. Highly recommend.
