We had a blast on this trip with an Austrian musher who loved the Tampa Bay Lightning (hockey team from our hometown) and was both informative and adventurous. Totally fell in love with the dogs and puppies; they are tiny titans and LIVE for the sled. As an animal rights activist/vegetarian, I was hesitant to go on this trip, but... More

For most of us that will book the sledding trip online or at the tourist information centre, the routine is something like this, meet up at a central Tromsø hotel - in my case it was Radisson Blu Tromsø - and a car picks you up for a 30 min ride to Kvaløya island and the base for Tromsø Villmarkssenter....

This was something I was looking forward to when we booked this trip to Norway, and it did not disappoint! The staff were so pleasant to deal with from start to finish. It started off by getting warm clothes and boots (no additional fee). Next we quickly visited some of the dogs and made our way to the sleds which... More

We spent a delightful couple of hours snowshoe trekking through virgin snow. Really easy to do. Once we were away from the dog sledding area we were totally alone and it was wonderful. The only drawback was the price: 790NOK each. Very expensive for a coach to take you to and from the centre, snowshoe for 2 hrs and have... More

WE enjoyed every minute of the whole visit. We were amazed by the friendliness of the dogs and the whole set up of the place. Two friends and ourselves had booked to drive our own sleds and although we were given a six dog sled each , as opposed to the ten or twelve dogs others with experienced drivers had,... More

We booked this directly before leaving home and were not disappointed. Very friendly, helpful people from pick up to drop off. We had plenty of time to look around at the dog yard and puppies and the sled ride ( a good hour ) was wonderful, followed by a meal in a warm lavvo. If you want to drive the... More

We booked this evening tour in the UK and it led us to believe that we could drive the sled ourselves, however when we got there they only had one sled for each group that could be driven by one couple and it was a case of putting your hand up and being picked! One couple found out that you... More

I booked the 'Dog Sledding Under The Northern Lights with Tromsø Villmarkssenter' through the Visit Tromsø website. Maybe that was my mistake. It was advertised as "Nothing is more perfect than to go dog sledding under the majestic Northern Lights. Join the most experienced dog sledding company, Tromsø Villmarkssenter, on an unforgettable tour through wild landscape while hunting the Aurora."... More

The centre is a half hour drive from Tromso on the coach, which is part of the 3 hour package we had pre-bought in the UK. It's the high season so there are a lot of guests each day, but if you listen to the guides and follow their instructions the amount of people (approx 70) is not a problem.... More
