How it works
From the ship, you’ll take a 20-minute journey to meet your local guide before helping harness the huskies to your wagon. Once ready, the dogs quickly settle into a focused rhythm, pulling you smoothly through the breathtaking coastal landscape toward Bjørndalen.
As you travel through this pristine Arctic wilderness, keep watch for reindeer, Arctic foxes, grouse, seals, and occasionally even walrus or whales. In summer, large pods of beluga whales are sometimes seen off Vestpynten. The skies are equally rich with birdlife, including little auks, Arctic terns, and skuas. On clear days, views over Isfjord’s massive glaciers are truly spectacular.
After approximately 90 minutes of driving, you’ll head to Greendog’s kennel in Adventdalen, where a cozy log cabin awaits. Enjoy a hot drink, relax in comfort, and meet a litter of playful husky puppies.
