5Fun day dog sledding
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.
5Great way to spend a day
Amazing from start to finish, staff and dogs absolutely love what they do. Dogs are friendly and well trained. Safety and equipment are excellent. Me and my wife went as our 60th birthday treat and loved every minuet of it !
5Brilliant, thrilling and such good fun
As good as we hoped it would be! The tour was so well run, lovely people amazing scenery and the dogs were all lovely!
5The whole sledding experience was incredible
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!
4Unable to do this activity due to missed port on Northern Lights cruise
Unfortunately i was on the Queen Victoria on a Norther Lights cruise, due to adverse weather we were unable to do this activity as the ship arrived in Tromso 6 hours late at 3:00 pm so wi missed this once in a lifetime opportunity.
5A must do
So awesome! Super friendly people and snuggly dogs. An excellent tour which is a bit harder work than u might think. The driver has a lot to do. The passenger gets to relax. They stop several times to switch The snacks and hot cocoa are yummy

About Tromsø
Tromsø is a Norwegian city well inside the Arctic Circle, on an island among fjords and peaks, known for the northern lights and the midnight sun.
Tromsø stands on an island in northern Norway, linked to the mainland by a bridge and a tunnel, with jagged peaks rising across the sound. Founded in the eighteenth century, it grew as a base for Arctic hunters and explorers, and the Polar Museum recalls expeditions that set out from the harbour. The Arctic Cathedral, with its angled glass front, stands across the bridge, and wooden houses fill the old centre.
Top-ranked sights in Tromsø: Tromso Fjords, Kvaloya (Sállir), Sommaroy.
