Description
Drive your own dog sled through snowy terrain, surrounded by spectacular Arctic scenery. Enjoy a warm meal inside the lavvu after the tour.
Start with a 90-minute scenic bus ride from Tromsø to the remote Tamok valley. On arrival at Camp Tamok, your guide will welcome you and provide warm clothing and gear, included in this tour. After a safety briefing and sledding instructions, set off on a thrilling dog sledding adventure!
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 huskies along the snowy tracks, 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 ride, visit the husky yard for cuddles and photos. Then warm up inside a traditional Sámi tent (lávvu) with a hot meal and drink by the fire.
End your Arctic experience with a relaxing return bus trip to Tromsø.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Note: This is a physically active and more advanced-level dog sledding adventure:
The tour requires strength and fitness from all our guests, and a 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 to push the sled. The trail can be narrow and have sharp bends, which requires a good balance to steer the sled.
Since you will be sharing the sled with another person it is required for both of you to meet these requirements when swapping places halfway the tour.
Our guides are entitled to deny drivers and passengers to join this tour out of health and safety reason.
Please meet up inside the main entrance hall of Tromsø Havn Prostneset.
