Drive your own husky team through Tromsø’s snowy wilderness, then warm up with hot chocolate, cake, and friendly Alaskan huskies.

“This was an excellent experience. Transport from the front of our hotel on time. About 40 min drive to the Husky place. Heavy duty cold weather clothing provided. A quick tutorial about standing on and riding the sled. Then meet the huskies formally. Who are ready to get going. You need a good level of fitness! The whole sledding experience lasted about 90 mins and covered around 10km! I was able to swap sled driving with my wife thankfully. As we sledded through fresh snow it could get hard going as you have to get off and help push the sled to help the huskies especially on inclines. Then a…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 104 reviews · from $146Best value

Hike with Alaskan Huskies near Tromsø, cuddle puppies, enjoy a Sami lavvo lunch, and take in fjord and mountain views on this 4.5-hour tour.

“By far the best experience during our week in Tromso. We were lucky with the weather, it stopped to rain during the hike. We did a around 1h hike with the Huskies with a little break with hot drinks in this stunning nature. The Huskies were attached to some of us and they are very strong and pushy but manageable. The boots and rain coats provided were necessary, it was very muddy. The Huskies are real beauty's and love to be cuddled and we had the chance to hold and cuddle Husky babies (3 weeks old). Amazing, we will definitely recommend this tour and come again. Thanks to Jenny and…”

Drive your own husky team from Alta across Finnmarksvidda, then warm up with stories, coffee, and a chance to see the Northern Lights.

“Rose picked us up on time and took us to the dog sledge camp which was about 35-mins from Alta. Here we was met by Linda who gave us us a great welcome and detailed information about our self-drive dog mushing and helped us into suitable clothing. The dogs were ready to go and very excited. No one else had booked this trip so it was like a private trip...just Linda leading and us following....what a brilliant experience. It lasted over 90-mins and we set off in daylight with it snowing lightly and continued into the dusk and evening with supplied headlights. The route took us through forests, a frozen…”
