What To Expect
Private dog sledding in a woodland and/or the countryside, down to the sea level, surrounded by mountains.
Is a dog sledding trip on your bucket list? We are always willing to explore options and tailor the trip to your ideas, as long as it is reasonable.
Our tours start from our doorsteps and take you up into the woodland around our home. While you sit back and take in the beautiful surroundings, and the power of the huskies pulling you through the country side, your musher will tell you everything you need to know about dog sledding, how it works, their experience as a musher, more about the dogs' personalities, all the while answering all your questions about the huskies and Iceland.
After the sledding you are welcome into our home, where the huskies live. You can have coffee, tea or hot chocolate and of course lots of husky kisses. Huskies are among the friendliest breeds of dogs and love to cuddle. These warm animals love to meet new people and will, of course, expect a belly rub and some attention. The huskies are all just as cute as you'd imagine, and each has its distinct personality.
