We hosted two fantastic student groups from Loughb We hosted two fantastic student groups from Loughborough University on this year's dog sledding expeditions! It was a blast and in the process they raised alot of money for charity! From sledding through beautiful landscapes to camp fires and saunas in the wild, we had it all! It's a challenge but OH so worth it 😍 Would you be up for it??!! #dogsledding #arcticlife #sledding #dogsled #intothewild #expeditions #arcticaexpeditions #gowild #sleddogs #camping #wildcamping #snowlife

Do you have room in your heart and your home?! ❤ Do you have room in your heart and your home?! ❤️🐶 It is that time of year again! Now the season is over, we are exploring the options of re-homing some of our wonderful sled dogs! Whilst we are happy to keep everyone, we are also open to the possibility of adoption if the right candidate comes along. We have previously been super successful in finding our dogs their next best friend, both within Norway and internationally, and this is something we want to continue with 💕 Most of the dogs that we would consider are senior (8+) however occasionally there are youngsters that we feel would be better suited to the sofa.   All of our dogs are Alaskan Huskies, by nature they are friendly and sociable, and have been raised with a great deal of interaction with people and others dogs. Their welfare is our upmost priority and as they have their own personalities, all cases are considered on an individual basis to ensure the perfect match. All of our dogs are vaccinated, dewormed and come with a passport.  If you feel you could re-home a sled dog, please get in touch with our kennel manager, Sophia at sophia@arcticadventuretours.no to discuss the options and perhaps meet some of our furry friends. 🐶❤️🐕 #alaskanhusky #husky #bestfriend #sleddog #adoptdontshop #foreverhome #rehome #everyoneneedsadog #mansbestfriend #kennel #happydog #happylife #adoptionprocess #applywithin #happyhusky #norway #tromsø #doglove

THIS IS SIIM! 📸 The puppy whisperer. 🐶 Sii THIS IS SIIM! 📸 The puppy whisperer. 🐶 Siim is orginally from Estonia but grew up in Sweden. He came to us in 2019, it was his first job with sled dogs but having worked in all sorts of adventure tourism across the globe, he was already seasoned in guiding. From being a glacier guide in Alaska to a dive instructor in Thailand, he has lots of experience and it is safe to say the guests are safe in his hands. Siim loves the wilderness and non conformity! He always has a handle on what's happening in the kennel, knows the dogs inside out and has the puppies under control. He is the puppy whisperer after all. This summer, he is swapping the sled for a paddleboard and is off to explore the fjords of southern Norway, guiding. We will miss him alot especially his special ladies, Taco and Simian 🥺😭❤️🐶 He dreams to buy a sailboat and go with the wind... but we just hope it will sail him back to us!🐕❄️☃️ #meettheteam #staff #arcticfamily #arcticadventuretours #arcticlife #dogsledding #team #ateam #alaskanhusky #itsadogslife #explore #guide #guiding #wildernessguide #tourism #mountainlife #seasonaljobs
An adventure of a different kind 🗻🥾🌍 The An adventure of a different kind 🗻🥾🌍 The owners of AAT, PT & Hege swapped their snow boots for hiking shoes and tackled Mount Kilimanjaro. After a few years of uncertainty, a busy season and Hege’s special birthday, they deserved a holiday … and summiting the highest mountain in Africa is what they call a break!! Congratulations on reaching 5,895m above sea level 🥳❤️ #africa #holiday #adventure #adventuresomewhere #arcticadventuretours #hiking #mountkilimanjaro #dreamsthatcometrue #summit #dreamdestination #allaboutadventures
THE FIRST WEEKLONG OF THE SEASON 🎉 Due to covi THE FIRST WEEKLONG OF THE SEASON 🎉 Due to covid it was the FIRST since 2019 😭😱 but it was worth the wait to be out there in the wilderness again! The team have been busy since our day tours finished - preparing, organising and fixing all the equipment needed . We travel into some very remote areas and need to be self-sufficent so there is lots to take care of. On the trip, we sled through vast snowy landscapes, wild camp surrounded by dogs and gather water from ice holes. What more could you want? 🐾 #expedition #dogsledding #sleddog #sledding #alaskanhusky #wildcamp #campwild #remote #weeklongexpedition #intothewild #tromsø #northernnorway #wilderness #camping #arcticwild #arcticcircle #multidaytours
MEET LAD 📷 We thought it was about time to int MEET LAD 📷 We thought it was about time to introduce the boys as we are all about equality here... Lad is one of our guides. He is from the Czech Republic and first came to AAT with workaway in 2018, it was only a matter of weeks before we asked him to stay... Lad loves expeditions, sailing and all things wilderness 😍 In 2019 he traversed the length of frozen Lake Baikal in Russia, self supported. He covered approximately 700km in 16 days over the ice. He has also summited Mount Elbrus, the highest peak in Europe and outside of work you will find him backcountry skiing in the Norwegian mountains. His adventurous hobbies and of course love of dogs means he loves being out of the trails 🐾 he is pratical and a great problem solver. In Summer, he may even be your boat driver for the Fjord trips ❤ #team #meetthestaff #arcticadventures #arcticfamily #dogsledding #norway #tromsø #norge #guide #adventure #wilderness #explore #season #winterseason #arcticadventuretours #staffmember #ateam

MEET HEGE 📸 What better way to celebrate #inte MEET HEGE 📸 What better way to celebrate #internationalwomensday than introducing the QUEEN of the kennel💕 👑 🐕🇳🇴 This woman is the backbone of everything here at AAT! Hege founded this company with her husband over 20 years ago. What an adventure!!! She jokes it was a hobby gone wrong but she wouldn't have it any other way! From raising the happiest puppies to baking every single slice of cake eaten by our guests, she really does do it all! Everyday she is behind the scenes AND the face of the kennel. If she has a spare moment she will be off skiing, hiking or at crossfit!!! ⛷🏋‍♀️⛰ Full of energy, active and determined with a big heart, we aren't sure what we would do without her ❤ #strongwomen #meettheteam #team #teamwork #internationalwomensday #arcticadventuretours #arcticfamily #arcticlife #arcticcircle #celebratewomen #girlpower #visittromso #tromsø #northernnorway #norge #norway #kennel #itsadogslife #alaskanhusky #huskylove #puppy #alaskanpuppy

Orginally Luana set off to explore the world 🌍 She quit her job in exchange for adventure but her plans were cut short when the pandemic hit... However NOTHING could stop her fulfilling her dreams so this year is THE year! After joining as a guest with us in a VERY quiet 2020, Luana wanted to learn more about our doggies, sledding and life in the North so here she is... Next up is Africa!!! 😍🗺🌍 Luana was previously working for a non profit organisation that ensures water access in less privileged areas - how amazing is that! The amount she has taken on and learnt in such a short time shows how much passion and initiative she has in life.

Her motto is work hard and explore harder...seasonal work is her thing and she can tell you some stories about her job roles around the world from cooking for royalty to adventure TV shows. Gabi loves to explore far flung corners of the world, she spent 10 months sailing the Indian Ocean and has plans in motion to cross the Atlantic. She loves animals, they are one of her motivations to travel and that is how she found herself in this freezing winter wonderland so far from the tropical paradises she had previously enjoyed ❄🌴 💕 Now she knows paradise is having the love of a 100 dogs 🥰 Gabi is quick to learn and capable of everything and anything you throw at her.

First, it started with getting her own dog, Taco, in honour of one of our huskies but that still wasn't enough to quash the pull to work with dogs the North. 🐶🐕 Amidst the pandemic Paulina decided to quit her corporate career and move her dog and fiance up here to enjoy a different way of life! ❄ We can certainely rely on her to get things done around the kennel, especially as our meat saw expert 🪚🥩🤣 She is hands on, practical and loves all the seasons here, especially winter.
