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.

The service and the location were great. I can only highly recommend it, it was a magnificent, sporting experience in a great place and an unforgettable bond between animals, nature and man. An adventure not to be missed and what's more, the team is really very professional and friendly.

This activity has been the highlight of our holiday. The staff were lovely and the dogs so friendly. I think we were out sledding for over an hour and covered 15k. The driving was quite a workout but there is opportunity to swap over from driving to sitting. Finishing off with cake and coffee in a yurt with log fire, followed by a meet and greet with one of the huskies and informative talk.

Absolutely fantastic experience and if anyone is wondering what to do in Tromso make this your number one priority. So lovely to see all the dogs and how well they are looked after, especially seeing how much they enjoyed the ride! You spend so much time on the course and get ample time to wander around petting all the perfectly trained dogs. 10/10 experience.
