We were lucky enough to book this tour last minute with enough snow on the ground in early November. When we arrived they said they would not be doing tours the next day because of the rain melting the snow. The minibus ride was 45 minutes to the camp. The camp had 140 Alaskan huskies waiting for us to exercise them. We were provided suits and boots for the experience because you will get dirty playing with the dogs and sledding. We had time before and after sledding to interact with the dogs. Sledding was so much fun with opportunities to switch off being a musher vs. passenger. We were provided hot chocolate/tea/coffee and chocolate cake and carrot cake. This was such a fun experience and I would highly recommend it.

Full description

Embark on a guided sledding experience from Tromsø. Take turns directing the sled or simply enjoy the incredible Arctic scenery. After, trade stories around a warm fire with some hot chocolate and cake. Hop on the comfortable minibus and drive to the kennel on the island of Kvaløya. Once kitted out, head to the kennel and see the 130 Alaskan Huskies, who are always excited to meet guests. Get a short demonstration on how to drive a sled and feel free to ask any questions. Then, follow your guide and meet your huskies. Each pair, one passenger, and one driver will have their own sled. Enjoy several opportunities to swap between roles once the trip starts. Finally, head out to the snow and follow the guide along the trail. Take photos throughout the trip and take in the incredible landscapes. After your 90-minute sledding adventure, make your way into the Sami Lavvo for hot drinks and Hege's famous homemade chocolate cake. Trade stories from the trip around the cozy fireplace until it is time to change out of your suits and hop back on the bus. You will be returned to the pickup point.

Incredible Tour. I didn‘t want it to end. Wonderful dogs and people who really live their Job. The cake and Cocoa was great and we got a good insight in their lifes. I only wish the Tour would have been longer. I highly recommend going there. Friendly dogs, friendly people, greatly organized.
