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.

We had the most amazing experience of our lives. We loved the chance to pet the dogs multiple times and to learn about the husky breed, plus we met some puppies! The sleigh ride was easy for beginners and through the most amazing landscape. The staff were so welcoming and took pictures of us in the sled. The final event, where we were given an incredible chocolate cake and coffee or tea around a fire, was the perfect ending.

It's super organized and simply beautiful! Everything worked out with the team and the dogs. We were in very good hands and felt completely at home! We would do it again in a heartbeat. If you could have controlled the weather, the northern lights would have been a nice highlight. But it was still a nice drive through the arctic winter wonderland!

The activity was great! I recommend 3000%! We took a long walk, well equipped by our hosts and then had a little snack by the fire. However, it remains a bit sporty! If strict diet: (in my case gluten) inform us in advance because the lady did not have the information when we did it. She kindly found me an alternative but she pointed out the communication problem to me.
