Dog Sledding (Tromsø)

Driving your own husky-sledding team is an out-of-the-ordinary experience and a must-do for anyone visiting Tromsø and Northern Norway. Even if outdoor winter adventures are not your thing, this tour offers you a chance to check this traditional experience off your list and take lots of photos.  

Our dog-sledding tour departs from Tromsø harbour where you will be picked up for a scenic 50-minute transfer to our camp in Breivikeidet. During the journey, our guide will explain a little about the city and the area. Upon arrival at our camp, situated in a picturesque valley close to the sea, you will be welcomed by our friendly staff who will guide you through the safety instructions, and show you the basics of driving the sled. 

In this tour you will get the chance to drive your own dog sled for about a kilometre where our guide stops the tour to take photos of you being a dog musher before you switch places with your passenger. Once done with photos, you will take the return trip back to camp. 

After your dog sledding ride, you’ll get the chance to strengthen your bond with your husky sled team, giving and receiving all the cuddles you can handle. Afterwards, you are invited inside where you can learn a lot more about the dogs from our knowledgeable guides over some hot drinks and cake. 

Once you wave one last goodbye to the huskies, you’ll be driven back to Tromsø with an experience of a lifetime behind you and spectacular photos to show for it!
