Top Tromso Husky Dog Tours

Traveling by dog sled is the quintessential way to see the Arctic wilderness, but it takes some practice. This small-group tour from Tromsø teaches you how to control your sled and mush your own team of huskies. Afterward, enjoy cake and a warm drink in the lavvu (traditional Sámi tent).

Enjoy the thrill of a short dog sled ride led by our professional mushers, visit our dog kennel, get a taste of riding a snowmobile, meet the reindeer, and test your Arctic wilderness skills, all in one unforgettable location.

Explore the beauty of autumn nature as you take the reins of your own dog-team on wheels. This engaging activity features your pack of 35 friendly huskies eager for action, as you learn how to harness them and drive your own dog-team through forest trails. With 6 to 8 enthusiastic dogs leading the way, you'll not only get hands-on experience but also breathtaking views of the surrounding Arctic nature. After the adventure, warm up at your cozy log cabin with homemade cake and hot drinks, while sharing stories about your unique lifestyle with a pack of dogs.

Driving your own team of huskies is an out of the ordinary experience and a must-do for anyone visiting Northern Norway. The dog sled has been used for centuries throughout the Arctic region, mainly for travel, hunting and transportation. Even if outdoor winter adventures are not your thing, this tour offers you a chance to check this traditional experience off your list and take lots of photos. Two people will share one sled: one as a driver and the other one as a passenger. You will get a chance to swap places halfway through the tour, so that everyone gets to experience the life of a dog musher, but also have time to take all the photographs they want. When you change back to your normal clothes from the polar suits and wave one last goodbye to the huskies, you’ll be driven back to the city with an experience of a lifetime behind you and spectacular photos to show for it!

We have daily departures via scenic fjord and mountain landscape every evening throughout the winter season. The daytime tour offer excellent opportunities to experience the majestic views from your dog sled. You do not need any previous skills to mush your own husky team. All you need is reasonable physical health and an eagerness to try something new. After the dog sledding adventure, you will be served a hot meal in a traditional Northern Norwegian setting around the open fire in a reindeer herder’s tent. After relaxing and warming up, you can board the bus back to the city and reflect on a memorable adventure.

Turn exploring Norway’s wilds into a cozy, furry, tasty adventure with this combination dogsled-and-dinner experience.
