About the activity

Located right next to the island of Tromsø, Kvaløya is perfect for enjoying outdoor activities close to the city, surrounded by stunning Arctic scenery where sea meets mountains. Among the many winter experiences available there, this dog sledding excursion with transfer from Tromsø is one of the highlights. Not only will it allow you to discover the activity on a 70 to 80-minute ride, a great length of time to fully enjoy both the sensations of the sled and the landscapes of the region, but you will also get to take part as the driver of your own sled, with the possibility to switch roles with your passenger. What better way to fully immerse yourself in the world of mushing in Norway?

You will experience this unforgettable dog sledding outing on Kvaløya alongside Alaskan huskies who cannot wait to run and pull you across the snow-covered Arctic landscape. To guide them properly, a professional guide will provide you with all the necessary instructions to steer your sled safely, then lead the group from the front. You will simply need to follow while putting the advice into practice and enjoying the magnificent snowy panoramas around you. Several breaks will be offered along the way so that you can take photos, and also switch between driver and passenger roles if you wish. Everything is organised to ensure you have the best possible experience, including a snack at the end of the excursion in a lavvu, a traditional Sami tent, where you can chat with your guide about the activity and learn more about the world of mushing.

Between the beauty of the Arctic landscapes, the unique sensations of driving a team of Alaskan huskies, and the joyful company of these wonderful animals, you are sure to create unforgettable memories during this dog sledding excursion on Kvaløya from Tromsø. So don’t wait any longer to enjoy an unforgettable snowy adventure, and book your place with Arctic Adventure Tours!

Nous avons adoré ! C'est une expérience incroyable de conduire son traîneau conduit par des chiens plein de fougue qu'il faut guider, canaliser, dans des paysages exceptionnels ! L'encadrement est super. Nous aurions aimé rester plus longtemps à câliner ces boules de poil et savourer le chocolatchaud/carrot cake.

Nach einer sehr guten Einweisung in Englisch war die Fahrt kein Problem, auch als Einzelperson

We probably would have been thrilled on our first visit, but compared to our last dog sledding trip in Finland, it was a disappointment. The group was much too large, and we had to constantly brake (even uphill!) to avoid running into the sleds in front of us. Some of the dogs also seemed very tired and reacted rather fearfully to attention.
