Aurora Camp and Dog Sledding

General information

After a short drive from Tromsø city, you will arrive at our centre, where we will equip you with thermal overalls and boots to keep you warm and cosy while waiting for the lights to appear.

You will then go on a guided tour of our dog yard, where you can meet and cuddle our 200 Alaskan huskies. You will also visit our puppies, who simply cannot wait to play with you. Afterwards, we will serve dinner in our gamme. You can try bacalao, a traditional Norwegian fish dish made from locally sourced cod, but we also offer a vegetarian alternative.

The rest of the evening can be spent outdoors watching for the Northern Lights around a bonfire. As our centre is a 25-minute drive from Tromsø and away from the city lights, the sky overhead is dark and ideal for Aurora watching. Stay outside as long as you like. When you get tired, our lavvu tent, furnished with soft reindeer skins and high-quality camping gear, awaits you for the night. Accommodation in a shared tent is included in the price. If you would prefer private accommodation, please contact us.

The next morning, after a hearty breakfast, we will take you out on a dog sledding adventure. You can choose whether you would like to ride as a passenger with one of our experienced guides or drive your own sled. Please note that the self-drive activity has an age limit of 16 years and requires a good level of physical fitness. For both options, you will spend approximately 45 minutes on the sled (depending on the weather conditions) and share it with another guest.

Back at our centre, a hot lunch of bidos, a traditional Sami reindeer stew, will restore your strength before you say goodbye to our dogs and we take you back to Tromsø (arrival approximately 12:45 PM (12:45)).

Important:

• If you are travelling with small children or infants, you must bring your own car seat or arrange your own transportation. We cannot guarantee the availability of child seats in our transport. Using your own transport is optional, and the price remains the same.
