Description - What to expect

Join us for an authentic experience at our wilderness center, Camp Tamok, a 90-minute scenic bus drive away from the city center of Tromsø. For this husky tour, you will be picked up from the city center of Tromsø, from where you will be taken to our wilderness center in Camp Tamok.

Upon arrival at the camp, we will provide warm winter clothes and other required gear. Our guides will give thorough safety instructions and a practical demonstration of how to steer your sled.

On the dog sled ride, you will pair up with another guest, with two of you sharing one sled. One takes on the role of musher, guiding a team of energetic huskies through the snowy terrain, while the other enjoys the ride seated on the sled. Halfway, you will have the chance to switch roles, allowing each person to experience both the thrill of leading a team of huskies and the joy of being a passenger.

After the dog sled ride experience, you will have the opportunity to visit the dog yard and indulge in some cuddle time with the Huskies. To complete the experience, you can relax and warm up with a hot meal and drink by the open fire inside one of the lávvus (indigenous Sámi tents).

With memories made for life, it is time to board the bus again for your return to Tromsø, taking with you great memories of your adventurous dog sledding day out in the Arctic wilderness.

Good to know - practical information

◾Driving your dogsled requires strength and fitness and good physical condition is necessary to participate: Some parts of the trail can be covered with a fresh layer of snow or go uphill which means in both cases you will have to help the dogs push the sled. The trail can be narrow and have sharp bends, which requires a good balance to steer the sled.
◾When making a booking for a child, please kindly always inform us of the age, as our guides will then be able to prepare accordingly. Please note that each child must be accompanied by an adult.
◾Pregnant people are not allowed to participate in this tour.
◾Please advise us during your booking of any food allergies or dietary restrictions. If no notice is given in advance, an extra fee of 150 NOK will be charged.
