Great tour. We were super happy to meet the huskies; highly recommended
It was a very fun dog sledding ride through some very beautiful nature and mountains near the main city. It was a very fun and cool experience and I would recommend you check it out!
This was a true experience. No fluff. The owner operator was truly authentic. It was an excellent experience that our guide and dogs enthusiastically included us in. It was more - and better - than we had expected. Can’t say enough that this was well worth it. Of note, we did not have snow and did the cart ride - loved this!
Amazing way to spend half a day! The dogs are so cute and the handlers clearly take such good care of them.
Wonderful ride thru the countryside with the dogs! Very informative and personable guide/host who educated us on the dogs and the Icelandic countryside. It was a fun diversion from city exploring!
Amazing experience: would 100000% recommend!!! My daughter loved it as did the whole family! Dogs and guide were great!
This was so much fun! The folks at Dogsledding Iceland are super knowledgeable and very professional. They took us out for a ride, then we had time to interact with some of the other dogs they had on site (they switch them in and out for each trip). They really take care of and care for their animals. We were there right after (and during) a fresh snow, so it was really beautiful.
Exciting experience with these adorable Alaskan huskies. Very kindd and professional guide. Dogs live in very good conditions and seem pampered
Although pricey, this experience was worth it! All of the staff were so great and you could tell very much love the dogs. You can also tell that the dogs love doing this. I couldn’t recommend this experience more!
Phenomenal experience dogsledding in Iceland! The dogs are very friendly and you are able to spend a decent amount of time with them before your ride. The mushers are lovely and share lots of dogsledding facts- it’s obvious that the dogs are their family. A bit pricey, and the ride lasts about 35 minutes, but our group decided it was worth the tough bill.
