★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 3,498 reviews · from $328Our pick

Drive your own husky sled in Tromsø wilderness, meet 130 Alaskan huskies, then warm up in a Sami lavvo with cake.

“This was an amazing!!! But be warned!! If it snows ALOT the night before your trip, just know you’ll be running behind/ pushing to help the dogs if the snow is deep. The dogs are strong but they need help going up the hills. My husband and I had a great workout! You do need to have some sort of physical abilities for this excursion. The guides were wonderful and patient. Another piece of advice is try to get the sled in the front by the guide. There’s a chance you could get stuck behind people that weren’t listening to directions and weren’t helping the dogs, hence, stopping every few…”

Drive your own husky sled near Tromsø, swap positions mid-run, then warm up with Bidos reindeer stew by an open fire in a Sami hut.

“If you’re out here like I did constantly refreshing to see if a spot opens up—keep trying, you won’t regret it! The self-drive husky sled tour was by far the best thing I did during the three days I was stuck in Tromsø hunting for the aurora in a snow storm. Well organised, guides were genuine and friendly, It's tough work having to push the sled out of powder snow though!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 746 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $361Top rated

Self-drive husky sledding in Tromsø with warm gear, small groups, and a cozy Lavvu finish with cake and hot drinks.

“My daughter and I did this self-drive husky dog sledding experience about 35 minutes from Tromsø, in the hills of the neighbouring island. Despite windy and snowy conditions, the activity was very well organised and great fun. We started sledding at 14:00, which meant sledding in the dark using headlamps. While this was still enjoyable, I would recommend going during the twilight hours (around 09:30–14:30) and hoping for clear weather to better appreciate the beautiful surrounding landscape. The huskies appeared well cared for, energetic, and clearly loved to run. The owners are passionate and attentive to the dogs’ wellbeing and daily exercise needs. Overall, a memorable and enjoyable Arcti...”

The hike was beautiful as it was snowing, the boots and snow suits keep you very warm and comfortable in the cold. The huskies were all friendly and enjoyed the attention. It was a very enjoyable experience and would consider doing it again.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 160 reviews · 4 hours 15 minutes (approx.) · from $193

Tromsø huskies plus a dark-sky aurora camp, with warm suits, bacalao dinner by fire, and possible Northern Lights viewing.

“This was an amazing experience from start to finish. We saw the Northern Lights immediately, which was an absolute bonus. Then they took us in to pet ALL the dogs. The handlers are all so knowledgeable and taught you all about them. Next we had a lovely dinner (vegetarian option was so good). Finally we went out by a campfire to admire the lights and the guides gave a talk about them as well. Obviously, the northern lights aren’t a guarantee, but this would have been worth it without them.”
