What To Expect
Experience the Thrill of Husky Rides Before the Snow Falls! As the temperature drops below 15°C, we kick off our No-Snow Husky Rides, where you can enjoy the same excitement and principles of sledding—but on bike karts! Winter in Latvia is full of adventure, and beyond classics like skiing or ice fishing, you can explore more exotic activities like our Husky Dog Rides. This is one of the most exciting winter experiences in Riga! Few places offer the chance to try husky sledding, and we take it to the next level by offering rides through a picturesque, old coniferous forest. You’ll not only feel the rush of the ride but also immerse yourself in the serene beauty of Latvia’s natural landscapes. Worried about staying warm? No problem! We provide rental outdoor winter clothing, so you can fully enjoy the experience, no matter the weather.

5.00An amazing experience, pick up from hotel and drop off. Time spent with the huskies. They are so affectionate. Sledding was brilliant. Well organised and the team are all very friendly and welcoming.
Amazing! Book it!

5.00If you are a dog person, which i very much am, this is a must do! What a great activity! Picked up by Gints who was very friendly anf he informed us about different parts of the city and things we passed on the way. We were also talking about the working dogs and his own digs on the way and he is very much a dog lover, and we got to meet his own king charles spaniel 😁 We were taken to the forest where the dogs were all ready and waiting and we were talked through some of the different dogs stories. All but one of the dogs was super friendly (some of them are rescues, so please dont judge that one, theyre allowed to be wary of strangers), and all of the others were very much willing to play and have cuddles and some are absolute posers for photos! Theyre working dogs and you can tell they are looked after very well, and they get so excited when a team is being put tigether and they are all howling to be picked. They clearly love what they do 🥰 They have little magnets and keyring and things of each of the dogs and we have a holiday memory box so we got a magnet of "Honda" as they were on of our favourites (most of the dogs have their name on their harness). Also absolutely loved one of the endurance race dogs who was just full of personality, tried not to pick favourites, but he was absolute mischief and I found him hilarious 😁 "Gerda" and "Blackey" were amazing too 😍 they all were, but im digressing from the activity. We took a little walk to the lookout tower whilst other people were taking their turn on the cart/sled and as someone scared if heights i challenged myself to go up it! I got 3 sets of steps up and my legs went like Bambi so I failed, but I gave it a go 😅 see if you can go to the top! Hot drinks and gingerbread cookies are provided to keep warm and fed whilst we take our turn and they fully explain how to steer and speak to the dogs during. They also explain each dog's job and how they pick teams that can work together as not every dog can work with every dog and different dogs work better with others ("Iron" was an absolute little powerhouse, love him ❤️). I was a bit nervous about getting something wrong tbh (not that I would show it), but the staff are all really friendly and informative and I had nothing to worry about at all it was quite easy and it was just fun 😁. You have the opportunity to switch steering at the other end of the trail if you want, but my Mrs didn't want to drive so I did it the whole way. Gints also took videos of each of us arriving back to the start/finish line, which he kindly sent us! We finished off with a black balsam and we were taken back to our hotels. We got an unbelievable amount of photos, we had an amazing morning, and I would highly recommend this to anyone who loves dogs!
Highly highly recommend! :)

5.00What an amazing experience! Our expert guide Tomass made it such an enjoyable trip, with an informative drive to the forest, plenty of time to get to know the dogs and give them cuddles, with local drinks to try, and of course the main event was a very exciting ride with the huskies!! Afterwards we even went for a walk to a viewpoint to see the sights from very high up- all wonderful extras that we didn’t expect- it really was above and beyond!! The trip was so easy, with pickup right from our hotel, guidance with information and advice about places to visit and eat nearby, and Tomass made sure to take lots of photos and videos of us on our adventure to remember it all! Thank you!!

5.00We were collected by Gints from our accommodation in Riga. The journey time was a leisurely 40 minutes into the countryside, where we met up with the dogs. They were really friendly, well looked after, ready and eager to be harnessed up to the sleds. Being Spring, the snow had gone, so the sleds had wheels on, like an elongated trike! We took turns in being the Musher and the passenger. Great fun and afterwards had a walk out to a fire watch tower. Fantastic views from the top. The trip was well organised, fun and we got to see the beautiful forests.
Lovely experience

5.00Took part in this activity for my birthday, which made it extra special. Tomass picked us up on time and gave us lots of history on Latvia, which was fab. The huskies are so well looked after, and were excited to see you and have cuddles. There was no rush and could take lots of pictures too. The recordings sent to us were so nice and was a memorable experience. Highly recommend this trip to fellow dog lovers ❤️.
Mega special

1.00Bit of a joke really. Told you have to cancel 24 hours in advance, yet they cancel on you 12 hours before you’re set to go. Not only that, we were offered an alternative and then 1 minute later the trip was cancelled. Slightly bemused by the whole situation and frustrating to not be made a bit more aware of the situation. Very frustrating as we were looking forward to this experience.
Must-do!

5.00Paul, our guide, picked us up at our hotel and drove us to the Riga countryside. He was super friendly throughout both the ride and our stay while waiting for our turn to be on the sled. He gave us tips on what to do and where to eat in Riga and allowed us to get to know and pet the dogs both before and after our ride. All the dogs were beautiful and super friendly, excited to be the next ones to run and have fun. We got to drive the sled after a quick explanation and change seats halfway through. The dogs looked like they were having the time of their lives! To sum it up, this is a must-do experience while in Riga during the winter - 100% recommended. Paul was the cherry on top after a beautiful experience!
Good

3.00The kid was very good, although it was so cold that I recommend wearing lots of socks because your feet will freeze.

5.00Paul was our driver and guide, and he was absolutely fantastic. Really knowledgeable and friendly. We had such a fantastic time. I would highly recommend this husky sledge trip. Seems like we had all huskies to ourselves. Sledging was fantastic fun too I think Paul really made our trip. A great tour company would use again.
