5.00This experience was extremely unique for us as Australians. The staff were extremely accommodating and ensured your time was relaxing and fun. After our lengthy dog sledding we got a greatly appreciated hot chocolate, cake and some interesting information about the dogs life within the camp. I would highly recommended this experience to any traveller
The coolest thing i have ever done! 🐺🇳🇴❄️✨

5.00What an amazing experience! we got to ride our own sled and see all of the gorgeous sled dogs 🐾 the hot chocolate afterwards was so good too! 🤎the only work on point i would give is that it was quite rushed before and after the sledding, it would’ve been nice to have been introduced to the dogs a bit more and have more time to meet them etc! But over all, still a 5⭐️ experience! One i will never forget! 🤍
Epic fun (even for 2 50 something’s!)

5.00What a epic time! We did this excursion at the recommendation of some people we met hunting the northern lights. They suggested this over reindeer feeding and they were so right! We went in the early afternoon so had to use headlamps in the twilight. We were pleasantly surprised that we still could see plenty for most of our ride. We also had a little snow and then an amazing sunset sighting up the clouds over Tromso. Turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip! Expensive but highly recommended!
Unforgettable experience

5.00We were there in December! From 10 am it will be a bit brighter so the best time to ride the sled there! The hostess is an incredibly warm woman! She introduces everything and explains everything! You have the opportunity to pet dogs beforehand and everyone was super nice and very approachable! You felt the joy of the dogs immediately! After that you ride the sled for an hour and a half which is explained before! You always have the opportunity to switch between and take photos! After the ride you can pet the dogs that pulled you and they will be introduced to you! Finally, there is ride delicious cake and warm drinks in a super cozy tipi and a detailed introduction of one of the dogs where even questions can be clarified! So really worth around an experience and just the best experience especially if you love dogs! They are not forced to do anything the dogs are born for it and you can tell how much they love it and how well they are doing!
Great day out. Well cared...

5.00An amazing experience. But you need really warm socks and gloves. The cake at the end is very welcomed.

5.00Very reliable at the meeting point. The ride in nature was a great experience. At Lavvu, the atmosphere after the ride was also good with coffee and cake.
A must if you love dogs & aren’t afraid of a bit of exercise!

5.00All the staff were great. You can tell that the dogs are well looked after & that the staff genuinely care for them. We had a pain couple behind us who kept braking too late causing the dogs from each group to get too close to each other. The staff noticed & corrected them. 10/10 experience.
Absolutely recommend!

5.00Absolutely top recommendation!!! Everything was well organized, from pickup to return. We got snowsuits, boots and a briefing to guide the sled and then we started, accompanied by many guides who gave help if necessary. We had the morning slot and were able to enjoy the ride in a dreamlike light, the dogs were quite keen to run, it was an experience “once in a live time” as they say!
