Driving your own team of huskies is an out of the ordinary experience and a must-do for anyone visiting Northern Norway.
This tour departs from the city center of Tromsø from where you will head out on a scenic 50-minute bus transfer to our camp in Breivikeidet.
Upon arrival at our camp, situated in a picturesque valley close to the sea, you will be welcomed by our friendly staff, and we will provide you with thermal suits, winter boots, hats, and mittens before heading out on the husky adventure. Before meeting your team of huskies, your guide will go through the safety instructions and show you the basics of steering the sled.
Note that this tour offers a short husky ride: you will get the chance to drive your dog sled in a slow and comfortable pace for about 10-15 minutes depending on the conditions. Halfway through the tour your guide will make a stop to take photos of you being a dog musher before you switch places with your passenger on the sled. Once done with taking the photos, you will return to camp for another 10-15 minutes. The total duration of the sledding tour is about 30 minutes (this is subject to the weather - and trail conditions, so it can differ every day).
After your husky ride, you’ll get the chance to strengthen your bond with the huskies: you can give and receive all the cuddles you can handle. After your visit to the dog yard, you are invited to the warm comforts of our panorama restaurant where you can learn a lot more about the dogs from our knowledgeable guides over some hot drinks and cake.
When you change back to your normal clothes and wave one last goodbye to the huskies, you’ll be driven back to the city by bus with an experience of a lifetime behind you and spectacular photos to show for it!
