Description

Be part of an authentic Arctic adventure the when driving your team of dogs. Dog sled has been used for travel and hunting for centuries throughout the Arctic region. Dog sledding consist of a musher, a sled and one or more dogs. It's an adventurous activity for your holiday in northern Norway. Be part of an authentic Arctic adventure when driving your own team of dogs on the outskirt of Tromsø. You will get some great advice from our guide to help you have a wonderful experience as a musher (driver) and become one with nature. All our 84 friendly Alaskan huskies have names and different personalities. They love to run and receive cuddles. We travel over tundra and through forests and you will get in close contact with both nature and dogs. During daytime, you will get a beautiful view towards the Lyngen Alps, and during dark season you can experience the northern light dancing above us. Two people share each sled and we will stop along the way to change mushers and to take photos.

Incredible experience!

What an experience! The dogs were incredibly sweet and trusting, strong and alive. The guides were very experienced and super nice! An incredible experience to ride a dog sled yourself and then pet the animals and see the puppies. Thanks for this great day!

Fun and Easy Dog Sledding in Tromso

Apart from the price, which is normal for Norway anyway, we cannot find any fault. The guides were excellent - entertaining, informative, and attentive. The dogs were ace. All had a lovely nature and worked hard. The puppies melted our hearts. It would have been fun if we could have had a race, but that may be because the sledding was as fun and easy as advertised. We are sure racing requires much more skill and experience to do it safely. I short highly recommended if you can afford it.

Operator response

Thank you for such an informative review and your recommendation! It’s wonderful to hear that you felt so well cared for by our guides and that the puppies completely melted your hearts — they certainly have that effect! We’d be delighted to welcome you back for another memorable adventure.

Fantastic experience to meet the the huskies and ride their sledge.

From Tromsø: Dog Sledding Experience with Transfer by Norwegian Travel (Morning 4.5 hours tour) Staff at bus station were really helpful getting us booked onto our tour and on the correct buses. The scenery on the rout to the dog sledding centre was stunning. The location was not too far from Tromso, so we weren’t on the bus for hours. Upon arrival, greeted by welcoming staff who made sure we were fully kitted up with all of the warm gear we would need. Space to leave our bags and get kitted up in the warm building, before venturing out to meet our furry friends. The dogs were well cared for and excited to get moving. The sledding guides were informative and passionate about their jobs. We were fully briefed on how to ride/steer our sleds. The scenery we rode through was beautiful and we were blessed with good weather, clear skies. It was really good fun, we swapped roles with our partners halfway round the track, and had a photo opportunity in the middle. This is only a short trip, but enough to give you a taster. After the ride, we got to make a fuss of our dogs and say thank you for the ride. We also got to see the puppies in the kennels. We were then welcomed back into the arm building for hot chocolate and cinnamon biscuits, and were able to get out of our snow suits in the warm. Though this trip was expensive for 4.5 few hours, but competitively priced, and completely worth it, and a lovely experience.

Service Not Provided and No Refund

I had a confirmed booking and arrived at the pickup point on time, but the bus left without me. Despite this, the company refused to offer any alternative solution or refund and instead suggested taking an expensive taxi at my own cost. The service was not provided as booked, and the customer support was unhelpful and dismissive. Very disappointing experience, especially for tourists relying on clear communication and fair treatment.

Operator response

Dear Guest, Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry that you missed the bus on the day of your tour. As stated in our policy, in NO SHOW cases we are unfortunately unable to offer alternative dates, refunds, or hold the bus for late arrivals. All customers are required to arrive at the designated meeting point on time to ensure the tour runs smoothly for everyone.

This was our favorite excursion!

This was terrifying and fun all in one! Learning to drive the sled was a bit intimidating and it was hard work, so make sure you have a bit of physical endurance. I would highly recommend using their boots, snow suits and gloves so that you stay warm when you’re riding. Definitely a highlight of our entire trip to Norway. We booked this excursion through Viator.

Operator response

Thank you for your detailed review! We’re thrilled you found the sledding both thrilling and fun. Great tips on wearing the provided boots, snow suits, and gloves—they really make a difference! We’re delighted this was a highlight of your Norway trip and appreciate you recommending the experience.

The staff was very...

The staff was very friendly and had a very good knowledge of the dogs’ personalities rather than just their names. Several of the participants made frequent mistakes (not breaking correctly, etc) despite well articulated instructions, which unfortunately caused a lot of stops along the way. However, it was still a great experience overall!

Operator response

Thank you, Patrick, for your review! 😊 We're glad to hear that you had a great experience and that our staff's deep knowledge of the dogs stood out to you—it’s something we truly take pride in! 🐾 We appreciate your patience with the occasional stops along the way. Dog sledding can have a learning curve, especially for beginners, but we’re happy to hear that you still enjoyed the adventure overall. Hopefully, next time, you'll get an even smoother ride! ❄️🐕✨ Thanks again for your feedback, and we’d love to welcome you back for another Arctic adventure! 🚀
