Huskies are best! We visited as part of a cruise expedition, it was a short stay to see the huskies and interact with them. Compared to all there is on offer this is probably quite a small adventure but we loved every moment. Came back covered in mud and stinking of wet dog and loved every minute of it. From an accessibility point of view this is restrictive and very reasonably so. If you can stand and balance with a walking stick and similar aid you will be ok. You have to be able to handle dogs potentially jumping on you. This was a dream and so worth it but it's not for everyone and that is ok. The people were so lovely and I imagine they would try and support accessibility as much as possible but this is a husky farm and not an environment for everyone. For me it was worth it.

Beautiful sleigh ride and meeting with Husky dogs The welcome was warm. Warm clothing equipment provided. Husky dogs are full of energy and excited before leaving. Briefing on sled driving and off you go to enjoy a 60 minute walk in a beautiful breathtaking landscape, on the island of Kvaloya.Back at the camp, in a traditional tent, we enjoyed a good campfire, a chocolate cake with hot chocolate and listened to the stories of the sled dogs.Before we left, we had time to redo the dogs' kneeling and cuddling, with their smart looks, they are adorable and really playful and cuddly.It was a very nice experience and meeting, we loved it and highly recommend it.

Many Northern Lights seen..... Despite poor conditions in Tromso the Northern Lights near the Swedish border seen in all glory and many colors. So everything perfect and only recommended. Were also one of the first groups at this location and only 8 participants in total.It should also be emphasized that a thermal suit and shoes are provided here.Unfortunately, despite good conditions, the food around the campfire did not take place. The other groups did it. We ate on the bus. It's too bad.

Special Experiences! We had an amazing night with our enthusiastic guide Klara and driver Kjell. I watched the weather and was able to switch the date to the only clear night before the snow, a helpful policy. Be on time to meet just outside of the Scandic Ishavshotel. Another large group never showed up so it was just the 4 of us. Having such a small group was very fortunate since we could ask questions and learn a lot from both. The drive was beautiful and we were early to a promising stop. There is no guarantee to see the Northern Lights but we ended up seeing the aurora almost non-stop for several hours, a truly memorable experience. We stayed out long into the early morning hours and yet Klara was able to send us photos later in the day. Artic Adventures provides winter jumpsuits, boots, dinner and hot drinks that really help when standing around outside. I hope others can experience something similar.Thanks to Klara, Kjell and the rest of the staff. We also joined the self-drive husky dog sledding tour and the Reindeer sledding and Sami culture tour. Both were also magical. Dog sledding seems to fill up quickly. The huskies are very friendly and eager. Reindeer tour is with a different group and a lot more people. Everything ran smoothly. Fun to feed the reindeer and touching to hear from the Sami people. We did this in the last week of March, right at the end of the season.

Great family experience! A highlight of our time in Norway. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. The dogs are social and clearly happy and well cared for. They were so joyful to pull the sled! We enjoyed it (adult/teen family). Short drive from Tromsø and beautiful views.

These Dogs Are Excited! Extremely fun experience to do in Tromso! The dogs are all very friendly and excited and just want to run and pull you along. The owners will provide snowsuits and detailed instructions so it is easy to pick up as well as give you cake and hot chocolate after which is extremely delicious.

Husky sledding through a magical winter wonderland Excellent from start to finish. A comfortable minivan ride to get there, greeted by our friendly host who handed out our clothing gear then it was time to make friends with these gorgeous dogs.After much patting and cuddles, we jumped on our sleds, and the dogs were so excited to begin.My husband and I shared a sled pulled by 6 husky, and we swapped turns as driver and passenger over the hour ride.The sledding was magical as we passed over thick snow-covered wilderness, passing by the gorgeous lake and eventually back to base where we were served hot drinks and the most delicious carrot cake I have ever tasted. We even got to see a litter of puppies

Why choose Husky Hike as a vacation activity?

 

Husky hiking from our kennel at Kvaløya near Tromsø offers an unforgettable experience for nature enthusiasts and dog lovers alike. Nestled in the stunning landscapes of Northern Norway, Tromsø is a gateway to Arctic adventures, and husky hiking is one of the most unique ways to explore our stunning area.

Joining a husky hike allows you to bond with a team of enthusiastic huskies, known for their strength, endurance, and friendly nature. Unlike traditional dog sledding, husky hiking takes place during the snow-free months, offering a different perspective on the Arctic wilderness in Tromsø. The hike begins with a warm welcome from the huskies and and our guides. You’ll be paired with your own husky, who will eagerly lead the way, connected by a harness that is attached to a belt around your waist. The dogs are trained to work together with you, making the husky hike both physically engaging and emotionally rewarding.

As you set off on the trail, you’ll traverse a variety of terrains, from dense forests and hills to open meadows. The scenic beauty of Tromsø is breathtaking, with towering mountains, beautiful fjords, and vibrant flora surrounding you. Our huskies, with their boundless energy, add a dynamic element to the hike, pulling you forward and encouraging a brisk pace.

Husky hike is not just about exercise; it’s a deeply immersive experience. The connection you form with your husky is special, as the dogs are affectionate and enjoy the company of people. The bond between you and your husky grows stronger with each step.

The hike concludes back at the kennel, where you can reward your furry companion with cuddles and affection. For those seeking a unique adventure in the Arctic, husky hike in Tromsø offers a perfect blend of nature, culture, and canine companionship. It’s an experience that leaves lasting memories of the breathtaking Arctic wilderness and our loyal huskies that call it home.

We look forward seeing you! Maybe also in winter for our dog sledding or Northern Lights tours
