Activity description

Enjoy an amazing dog sledding adventure in Tromso. No previous experience needed, bring the whole family and explore the beautiful landscapes of North Norway!

Morning dog sledding ride: Kvaløya is one of Norway’s largest islands and benefits from great views of the mountains surrounding Tromsø towards the Balsfordand Malangenpeninsula.

Morning Program:

You'll enjoy 45 to 60 minutes of dogsledding as a passenger surrounded by great mountain views in Tromsø. This is an amazing way to explore the Norwegian tundra. With a 2:1 guest to guide ratio, the professional guides will be there for you every step of the way.

You will also have the chance to meet the 200 Alaskan Huskies and spend some time with the puppies. This will be followed by a served delicious Bidos, prepared with reindeer meat, broth, and veggies. It'll be served in the camp around the fire in a traditional "Gamme".

Afternoon Program:

In the afternoon, we offer a shorter 30-minute session on the dogsled. You will then get to meet the pups, and enjoy some tasty cakes and hot drinks back at the kennels. This option is perfect for those who wish to spend the rest of the evening having a nice dinner or searching for Northern Lights!

To be this close to nature, being able to experience it with the dogs is an unforgettable experience. You won't regret it!

Fantastic experiance meeting the beautiful dogs and being taken around the countryside by them. Everything was well organised and ran like clockwork. The staff were all brilliant and nothing was too much trouble and all questions were answered fully and informatively.

This event actually made our holiday, the sledding trip was really good. The dogs worked hard but enjoyed the work they were doing. They responded to Edith’s (our musher) commands and you could see that she loved them as much as they loved her. Our guide Juan, was the perfect host, explaining all the workings of the facility and introducing us to some of the dogs. Lunch was provided and it’s was very tasty. Would highly recommend the whole experience, you sled through some amazing scenery.

C'est une très belle activité à faire. Le lieu est magnifique. Les chiens sont adorables. Le personnel est sympa et disponible. Merci à Nadja pour son accueil, et pour avoir proposé aux enfants de faire un peu de luge et attendant le repas..

A great experience, well worth doing. The huskies were wonderful, very keen to have contact with us all and were obviously well loved and caref for. The centre gave us a lot of really interesting information. Our guide, Dennis, was super friendly, funny and very likeable, and went to a lot of trouble to make our morning a memorable one.

  • 5 / 5

Sortie magnifique, sous un beau ciel bleu. Le paysage est splendide, et le musher a pris le temps de nous expliquer plein de chose et de nous prendre en photo. Nous avons pu profiter des chiens par la suite, en les caressant. Et la touche finale chaleureuse, nous avons été accueillis dans une cabane en bois, avec un feu de cheminée au milieu pour un bon repas. L’accueil et les personnes qui y travaillent sont super.

The whole activity was wonderful: the guides were very welcoming and answered all of our questions, the atmosphere was very warm. it was obvious that the dogs are treated very lovely and the people really care for their well-being (this was a very important aspect to us!). The dog sledding was impressing and breathtaking!

  • 5 / 5

Amazing!!! We took the morning excursion in winter so had the opportunity to truly feel what it would be like to be out in the wilderness with a team. I'm glad that we also opted for the ride-along activity rather than driving the dogs ourselves because it gave us the opportunity to see real expertise at work. An amazing time!

We were informed a few days before that due to the fact that there was no snow, the dog sledge activity could not be done but would be replaced by dog pulling us on wheels Great day! Super friendly staff, amazing views, nice activity

  • 5 / 5

Pick up at the hotel was 15 minutes before as they were prompt and efficient. The husky sled guide was knowledgeable and made sure we were seated properly and led the dogs very professionally. The Polish guide who shared about the dogs and puppies after was very kind and had a genuine bond with the dogs. After petting the pups we went in for some Reindeer stew of potatoes and carrots (which was so filling and good) with either Tea, coffee, or hot cocoa, then some chocolate cake. We hopped on the bus after 15 minutes to take us back to the drop-off location. It was a splendid time!

Nous avons beaucoup apprécié cette excursion. Le cadre est idéal. Le seul bémol porte sur le repas que j'ai trouvé vraiment très moyen. Nous avions déjà mangé du rennes quelques jours auparavant et la déception fut grande.

Dog Sledding

  • 5 / 5

We enjoyed the husky sledding very much, loved the dogs and the sensation of "dashing through the snow", the countryside was so picturesque and quiet. The only downside was the sleds continually stopped to wait for other teams in front. Loved meeting the dogs and hearing all about them, also the warm hut with the reindeer stew and chocolate cake.

  • 5 / 5

Fantastic day with the dogs

  • 5 / 5

Timing was just nice! Dogs are all so cute and friendly and huggable!

  • 5 / 5

It was great to experience the husky sledding, the views were amazing and the dogs are just gorgeous. The reindeer stew and refreshments in the hut was very welcome. We did not feel rushed at all and everyone was very helpful - from getting picked up, getting clothing, the musher taking photos for us, showing us the dogs and giving us warm refreshments. Fantastic! Thank you.
