Tour description

This tour starts in Tromsø, where you are picked up by your guide.
Upon arrival at the kennel, you will be suited with a comfortable and warm winter suit, winter shoes, and mittens to keep you warm during your dog sledding adventure. After a short introduction on how to handle the dogs and sleds, we will set out into the wilderness in pairs.
One will be the "musher" (driver), and one will be in the sled. You change places halfway, so both get to experience the thrill of mushing and the comfort of the sled. The huskies love to run, but be aware that you will have to play your part in helping the team up the slopes and difficult terrains. This is a fun and exciting experience, where you will also get a bit of a physical workout.
After a fun and exciting trip, you arrive rosy-cheeked and smiling back at the camp, where hot soup and drinks await!
Dogsledding is for almost for everyone, but you need to be physically healthy, as you will need to run and push the sled uphill. If you have any questions or doubts, please let us know.

Why does the sun not rise in the Winter?

There are basically two different kinds of people in the world when it comes to sunlight. Some are classified as “morning people,” which means that they absolutely love to wake up early in the morning to the warm glow of sunlight. On the flip side of the coin, their counterparts are known as “night owls,” which means that they actually prefer the evening when the sun is on its way down.
