Table of Contents
Self-drive or passenger
Most husky tours from Tromsø are self-drive: after a short introduction you stand on the runners and steer your own team of dogs. Some tours let you ride as a passenger while a guide drives. The description in the booking window says which format you book, so check it if you would rather sit than steer.
Where the tours go
The tours take you out of the city into the snow, and some include a transfer from Tromsø. One of them goes to Tamokdalen, a valley inland from Tromsø, and pairs the ride with a warm meal and a visit to the dog yard.
What to wear
You spend a long time outside and the wind on the sled is cold. Dress in warm layers, with a hat, gloves and warm boots. Some tours provide winter clothing; the tour description says what is included.
Meeting the dogs
The huskies are working dogs and love to run. Before and after the ride you usually spend time in the dog yard, where you can meet the team that pulled you. Some tours end with hot drinks and cake, a warm meal or a traditional lunch.
Summer and other tours
Sledding needs snow, so it is a winter activity. In summer some kennels offer husky hikes and puppy visits instead. For another animal encounter, a reindeer sledding tour brings you to a Sámi reindeer camp, and in the evening a northern lights tour takes you out under the Arctic sky.
