Kvaløya Husky

Kvaløya Husky was established in 2019 by Tommy, who has more than 20 years of experience as a musher.

About us

Over the years, Tommy has gained extensive experience in living, training and competing with dogs. Today, the kennel is home to 57 Alaskan huskies who love running, eating and receiving plenty of attention.

The dogs are part of our family, and we spend much of our time caring for them. Our huskies range from puppies to senior dogs. Everyone who works with us knows each dog’s personality and individual sounds, from Brille, our lead dog, to the youngest members of the pack.

Over the years, the kennel has built a complete team of racing dogs with the endurance required to compete in some of the world’s toughest dog-sledding races, including Finnmarksløpet. Join us for a dog-sledding experience with true athletes.

Kvaløya Husky is located in Straumsbukta, approximately 45 minutes by car from Tromsø city centre. Tommy grew up here and knows every mountain, trail and tree in the area.

We welcome visitors from around the world to our kennel. Here, you can learn about caring for polar dogs and enjoy a sled ride with one of our experienced mushers. During winter, we use custom-built dog sleds with space for two guests, with the musher standing at the back.

When there is not enough snow, we use wheeled carts. This means that you can also visit us during summer and autumn, weather permitting.

Take a break from the city and explore the beautiful Arctic landscape with us. We are happy to share stories about life with the dogs in Northern Norway.

Our activities are suitable for anyone who would like to spend time in nature, learn about caring for dogs or share a new experience with friends and family.

We are living our dream of working alongside our best friends: the dogs.
