Join a small-group dog sledding on wheels experience on Kvaløya with an experienced musher, husky time, warm drinks, snacks and transport from Tromsø.
General information
This tour is operated by Kvaløya Adventure.
After an approximately 45-minute drive from Tromsø city centre, you will arrive at the kennel in Straumsbukta on Kvaløya.
Upon arrival, you will meet the huskies and be provided with rain gear and boots. A warm suit will also be provided if needed. From the kennel, you will head to the starting point of the wagon tour.
An experienced musher drives the wagon through forests and open landscapes while you sit back as a passenger and enjoy the nature and surroundings. Two guests share each wagon, and the wagon ride itself lasts approximately 30 minutes, depending on conditions.
To keep the groups small and the experience personal, the group is divided into two. While one group is out on the wagon ride, the other can relax in the lavvu with a warm drink, snacks and stories from the musher. The groups then switch.
After the experience, there is more time with the huskies before returning to Radisson Blu Hotel in Tromsø.
Minimum age: 7 years. Children must be accompanied and supervised by an adult.

About Kvaløya Adventure
Tommy Theodorsen owns and operates Kvaløya Adventure from his home in the scenic village of Straumsbukta, with a focus on small groups and personal experiences.
Over many years, Tommy has gained extensive experience living, training and competing with dogs. This has helped him build a kennel of around 50 Alaskan huskies who love to run, eat and cuddle.
Our dogs are part of the family, and we spend a lot of time giving them the care and love they deserve. Our huskies range in age from puppies to senior dogs. Everyone who works with us knows each individual dog, their personality and their unique sounds — from our lead dog Fenris to the youngest members of the pack.
Kvaløya Adventure is located in Straumsbukta, approximately a 45-minute drive from Tromsø city centre. This is where Tommy grew up, and he knows every mountain, trail and tree in the area.
At our kennel, we welcome people from all over the world. Here, you can learn about the life of sled dogs and join us on a sled ride with one of our experienced mushers. During the winter, we use our own custom-built sleds, with space for two guests and one musher.
When there is not enough snow, we use wheeled carts instead. This means you can also visit us in autumn and spring, as long as weather conditions allow.
Take a break from the city and experience the beautiful Arctic nature with us. We are happy to share stories from life with our dogs in Northern Norway.
Our activities are perfect for anyone who wants to experience nature, learn about caring for sled dogs, or share a new adventure with family and friends.
We are living our dream of working alongside our best friends — our dogs.
