Embark on a thrilling self-drive dog sledding adventure in Tromsø, leading your own pack of loyal and energetic huskies through the snowy terrains of Northern Norway, surrounded by the arctic mountain landscapes and scenic fjords!

Dog sledding is one of the oldest methods of transportation in the Arctic, and has a special connection with the locals. Are you ready to take the lead and learn what it takes to be a musher? No previous experience is needed to mush your own husky team, all you need is a reasonable physical health and eagerness to try something new!

Your adventure begins with a pick-up from the city center in Tromsø where you will meet your guides and hop on a scenic 90-minute bus ride towards the wilderness center in Camp Tamok. Once you've reached the camp, you will be provided with warm winter clothing and follow a thorough safety instruction and a practical demonstration of mushing techniques. After you've met your new furry friends, it is time to head out in the wild and immerse yourself in the Nordic culture!

As this is a hands-on experience, two people will share each sled, one riding while the other one can sit back and enjoy the ride (you will switch midway) The trail is 12-kilometers long, and approximately 65 to 90 minutes long depending on the snow conditions of the day. Prepare to ride along some breathtaking sceneries, taking in the cold crisp Arctic air while feeling the thrill of riding the sled with your own pack of Alaskan huskies!

After the trip, your guide will lead the way to a traditional reindeer herder's tent where you will enjoy a delicious Norwegian stew or soup by the campfire, complemented with bread, tea, and water. Savor the flavors and cherish the moments with your loved ones, while learning about the Nordic culture and the life in the Arctic.

Once you've warmed up, it is time to say goodbye to the huskies, and board the bus, returning back to Tromsø with some lifelong memories of this unique excursion. Unleash your inner adventurer and book your self-drive dog sledding excursion in Tromsø for a day-long immersion in the Nordic wilderness and culture!

Fantastic opportunity to sled deep into norwegian countryside. Expert instructor caring for us and the huskies very well through lots of fresh snow. Afterwards.. Snug time with lovely fish stew and spicey veg option in yurt with log fire plus local warm red Berry tea.

The activity is a bit challenging, especially when helping the dogs push the sled, but it was a worthwhile experience. My group and I enjoyed the ups and downs of the changing terrain. Felt like it wasn’t enough time!

So much fun - would definitely do again. Recommending the morning bus and dog sledding activity. You’ll get more daylight to see the amazing scenery and where you’re driving the sled. They also are not kidding about being in good physical condition. If you can do one full pull up, have a decent core, and either hike or run, you’ll do great.
