Full description

Experience the wilderness of Tromsø from the most authentic perspective on a half-day dog sled experience. Learn the art of mushing and let a team of husky dogs pull you across the snow. Jump aboard the sled and shout the command to make the dogs move. Each sled will be pulled by our trained athletic dogs but don't forget, sometimes you will have to help them out and push a sled a little bit. Feel the fresh air on your face and get incredible views along the way. Each sled is shared with a passenger, and at the half-way mark you will get the chance to swap places. Return to camp for a warm meal and time around an open fire of delicious Bidos, a traditional Sami reindeer stew.

Sip on something hot to drink and a piece of signature chocolate cake will await you in the Gamme-hut (vegetarian options available by prior request).

Lovely experience – would recommend husky sledging and Northern Light tour when going to Tromsø! 30 minutes in bus each way and about 45 minutes of husky sledging (shifting halfway) – both with very beautiful views! We were provided with warm trench coats, boots and gloves, which is very important since it is very cold – especially the half of the ride where you are sitting on the sledge. Sunglasses is a good choice if it is sunny, since the snow reflects the sunshine. The sledge was easy to ride – we were given a couple of simple instructions. The ride was not that physically hard (maybe compared to other self-ride sledge trips?) – the first half was a bit up-hill and the second half was mostly downhill and a bit bumpy. Afterwards we had 25 minutes to pet the huskies and afterwards we got inside a cosy "cabin" and were offered some reindeer or vegetarian soup, chocolate cake, water, hot chocolate and coffee. I am not the #1 dog-lover, but it was a lovely and beautiful experience!

A last minute idea, wasn’t sure what to expect but it was fabulous—a highlight in a 5-week trip full of great experiences. Staff and husky enthusiasm were really infectious and we had a gorgeous January day for sledding. Food also was delicious and served in a beautiful hut. Would do it again every day if I could!

Excellent Adventurous activity. I would recommend it as a must-do when you are in Tromso. The tour guide was friendly and caring. They have provided all the required gear. Jackets, Boots, hats, hand gloves, etc. Everything was clean and perfect in size. Guide has provided proper instructions to drive the sled. We enjoyed everything. For lunch, they offered couscous for a veg option & Reindeer stew for a non-veg option. They also served delicious chocolate homemade cake. pick up & drop by bus was also well organized. Overall excellent activity.
