Tromsø is a vibrant city located in northern Norway, known for its Arctic beauty, rich culture, and excellent opportunities for outdoor adventures. This self-drive dog sledding excursion in Tromsø takes place in Malangen, a beautiful area located approximately 1-hour southwest of the city.

The evening self-drive dog sledding adventure near Tromsø begins at the kennel base in Malangen, where you will meet the experienced guide. Upon arrival, you'll be introduced to the friendly huskies and receive a safety briefing and mushing lesson. Each sled will be shared between two, with one driver and one passenger and the chance to switch during the tour. You will drive your own team of 4-6 dogs.

Once the dogs are harnessed to the sled, the self-drive dog sledding excursion in Malangen begins! Following the guide, you'll set off into the polar night, driving through the snowy forests. Due to its location near the Arctic Circle and its distance from city lights, the areas surrounding Tromsø provide some of the world’s best conditions for experiencing the Northern Lights! If you're lucky, the magical colours of the Aurora Borealis will appear in the night sky above you during the self-drive dog sledding in Malangen.

Midway through, you'll take a break to switch drivers and admire the lights. Then, you'll drive back to the base in Malangen, where you'll return the dogs to their free running area and give them a well-deserved snack. The guide will prepare a campfire for you to warm up while you enjoy hot berry juice and local snacks. You can continue to take in the mesmerising sky as the guide shares insights about life in the Arctic north.

Experience the phenomenal Northern Lights in Tromsø on an evening self-drive dog sledding excursion in Malangen!

Our group’s dog sledding experience in Malagen was nothing short of spectacular! From start to finish, we were immersed in a thrilling adventure, surrounded by stunning snowy landscapes. The dogs were absolutely amazing — energetic, well-trained, and clearly loved what they were doing. It was heartwarming to see the strong bond between the mushers and their teams, showcasing a true partnership. The support team was incredibly friendly, offering a warm, welcoming atmosphere that made us feel comfortable and safe. They ensured everyone had a chance to get involved, whether in guiding the sleds or just petting the enthusiastic dogs during breaks. Their guidance was expert, making the whole journey smooth and fun for all skill levels. The scenery was jaw-droppingly beautiful — endless white hills and serene, untouched nature, adding a magical touch to the ride. The experience was a perfect blend of excitement and tranquility, with the dogs leading the way through the winter wonderland. If you’re seeking an unforgettable adventure in the Arctic, this dog sledding experience in Malagen is a must! We left with smiles, unforgettable memories, and a deep admiration for the beautiful dogs who made it all possible. Highly recommend!
