Fun day dog sledding
mlsrga, April 2026
We chose this tour because a self drive dog sled excursion was not an option on our cruise. The meeting point was very close to our ship and the drive to the kennel was very scenic. You can tell the dogs are well cared for and love to run. There were stops along the trail for photos and we had beverages and cake back at the kennel. They provide additional clothing if you think you’ll need it. If you find yourself in Tromso and want to drive a dog sled, I recommend this tour. You will have a lot of fun.

The whole sledding experience was incredible
DJinNashville, April 2026
We never dog sledded before going to Tromso. We picked the tour based on review and the fact they picked people up in the city center. Plus that the bus was not huge. The drive to the tour takes a bit, and it was nice to see the landscape. When we got there, they are very organized, and you're dressed up and ready to go in no time. Meeting the dogs was so fun, and the whole sledding experience was incredible. Driving the sled is no small feat, and we quickly learnt the ropes. Guides are super friendly (and patient) and so are the dog. We so enjoyed that tour. Highly recommend!
