Dog Sledding Day Trip

General information

This tour is operated by Kvaløya Husky.

Join Kvaløya Husky for a dog sledding adventure through the beautiful Arctic winter landscape near Tromsø. Share a sled with another participant and experience the excitement of driving your own team of huskies.

Choose between a morning tour with return transport from Tromsø city centre or an afternoon tour where you arrange your own transport to the kennel in Straumsbukt.

Upon arrival at the kennel, you'll be provided with suitable winter clothing before the preparations begin. You'll see how the dogs are harnessed and attached to the sleds.

Before setting off, your guides will introduce you to the basics of handling a dog sled. Participants are divided into pairs, with one person driving the sled and the other riding as a passenger. Halfway through the experience, you'll stop and have the opportunity to switch roles, so both participants can try driving.

During your visit, you'll also have the chance to meet and spend time with the huskies.

After the dog sledding experience, a warm lunch featuring a traditional Norwegian dish made with local ingredients will be served.
