A genuine, heartfelt husky experience worth the drive!
This tour is about two and a half hours by car from Tromsø, and it was worth every minute of the drive. We started at 9 a.m., and from the moment we arrived, Delphine and Isabella made us feel welcome. They were so knowledgeable and clearly passionate about their dogs. Before we ever hit the trail, they walked us through daily life for the huskies: what they're fed, how they're cared for, where they live, and how they're trained. It gave us a real appreciation for the work behind every run. Then we watched them harness the dogs and get them ready, which was a highlight in itself. The ride was stunning, with beautiful trails and incredible scenery. Partway through, we stopped for a campfire and warm reindeer soup in the middle of the wilderness. Back at base, we relaxed by the fire with snacks and got to know our guides. Hearing what brought them to this life and why they love working with huskies made the day feel personal. This was an authentic experience, not a rushed tourist stop. If you want to learn about dog sledding and see the care and effort that goes into raising these amazing dogs, make the time for this one. Highly recommend!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much, Anita, for this incredibly thoughtful review. Isabella and I loved welcoming you and Sultan to OffTrack Experience for your private husky tour. We are especially happy that the journey from Tromsø felt worthwhile and that you enjoyed discovering the life behind dog sledding — meeting our Alaskan huskies, learning about their care and training, watching the team being prepared, and spending time together around the fire with warm reindeer soup. As a small family-run husky kennel in Målselv, Northern Norway, it means a lot when guests appreciate the personal pace of the experience and the care we put into every dog and every visit. Thank you again for making the journey to us. We truly enjoyed sharing our dogs and our way of life with you both!

Just magic!
We had an absolutely great experience with Delphine! From the first e-mail exchanges, everything was extremely clear. Delphine was very available, responsive and of a rare kindness. She answered all our questions with precision and kindness, which immediately put us in confidence. On D-Day, everything was perfectly organized: the directions to the place were simple and very clear. Upon arrival, the welcome was warm and authentic. Delphine is adorable, very sweet, and her farm is simply beautiful. The sled dog experience was incredible. The landscapes were splendid, almost unreal, and the moment will remain etched in our memories. It was magical, exotic and perfectly framed. We particularly enjoyed the small meal taken warm after the activity, a real moment of conviviality and comfort, all the more pleasant with my 4 year old daughter who also loved the experience. In short, we had a magical and unforgettable moment. Thank you again Delphine for your kindness and professionalism. We recommend with your eyes closed! ✨

Merci pour votre confiance et votre recommandation enthousiaste. Vous serez toujours les bienvenus pour une nouvelle aventure OffTrack dans le Grand Nord! 🐾❄️

For a personal and a top experience THE BEST!
Their philosophy: come as a guest, leave as a friend! Do you share their deep respect for nature and have asincere connection with this unspoilt environment. then you immediately feel welcome 🤗 This was sincere as we experienced it, pure, honest, love trap, adventurous and a surprisingly beautiful location and environment. We were truly amazed by all the warmth of the welcome, the husky lodge (fireplace was already burning on arrival) and the welcome greeting from Viktor (retired husky). Dog sledding Espen started with a briefing before the dog sledding. Safety and health of the huskies and yourself is very important. He also explains how the mushing goes. Whoa is stop, Gee is right, Haw is left and Yeah yeah is go on. You can also mush yourself if you have experience. Espen will help you with that. Halfway a stop for the huskies and a nice hot drink and soup for us. Espen makes a nice fire. What an atmosphere! Along the way Espen tells beautiful stories and when you return with hot chocolate and a cake, you will hear beautiful pictures and stories. It was-great! The contact with the huskies is great and they are super sweet. At Delphine and Espen you can really see that they are well cared for and number one. It was a great experience. We have booked again!
Response from the operator: Thank you sooo much!!! We really appreciate your kind words!

The best of Norway So SPECIAL!!!
Absolutely incredible!!! A life changing experience and one not to miss in Norway!!! Espen, Isabella, Delphine and team have created something very special here and they care about these great beings welfare so much as much as I do. We were lucky and got an early snowstorm but it was difficult for me since I had a ptsd car accident recently and began being overwhelmed with hyperventilation of driving but no worries or issues at all for Espen worked with me patiently and got us on a public bus 100 from tromso and he graciously picked us up and dropped us off at the bus station! His depth of knowledge and hospitality is the spirits of Norway having known a close family friend from Norway. If you don’t do this tour and meet this incredible team of beings you are missing out on so much!!! 5 stars all day and year long. Thank you and can’t wait to come back!!!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this beautiful and heartfelt review. It means a great deal to all of us at OffTrack Experience. We are especially glad that Espen could help you find a comfortable alternative to driving during the early snowstorm and arrange your journey by public bus from Tromsø. Making our guests feel safe, welcome and personally cared for is a very important part of our private husky tours. Thank you also for recognizing how deeply we care about the welfare of our Alaskan huskies. Sharing their lives, their personalities and our small family-run kennel in Målselv is at the heart of everything we do. It was truly special having you here with us in Northern Norway. We would absolutely love to welcome you back one day!

The best you can find in Norway! 5 Stars
It was absolutely stunning and incredible!!! From the moment we made contact with Epsen he made sure we were taken care of especially when an unexpected early snowstorm came through he was willing to suggest an alternative to my renting a car and driving when I had a previous PTSD car accident that made the decision to go via car extremely unnerving ordeal; Espen got us hooked up with the local bus and then went out of his way to take us to and from the bus station to enjoy the tour and provide us tasty drinks and snacks and a fire in the woods and then a lovely coffee and departing baked bread. If you want a Dog And Husky Tour with a a True Professional That Loves His Animals Look No Further!!! Espen, Delphine, and Isabella got you covered!!! I will definitely be back!!! Incredible 5 stars all day long!!!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much, Shaun, for your wonderful review and for trusting us to help organise your visit during the unexpected early snowstorm. Espen was very happy to arrange the local bus from Tromsø and collect you in Målselv, so that you could relax and enjoy the day without worrying about the drive. We are delighted that you enjoyed the private husky tour, the time with our Alaskan huskies, the fire in the forest and the warm welcome back at our family-run kennel. Dog welfare and personal care are at the heart of OffTrack Experience, so your words mean a great deal to Espen, Isabella and me. We loved sharing our dogs and our little corner of Northern Norway with you, and we will be very happy to welcome you back!

Why this scores 55
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Autumn self drive Husky Tour 2hrs from Tromso: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tromso.
How much does Autumn self drive Husky Tour 2hrs from Tromso cost?
+
Prices start at kr 3,000 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tromso usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Autumn self drive Husky Tour 2hrs from Tromso take?
+
Plan for about 4.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tromso is not rushed.
Is Autumn self drive Husky Tour 2hrs from Tromso worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tromso, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Autumn self drive Husky Tour 2hrs from Tromso?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Autumn self drive Husky Tour 2hrs from Tromso suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 3. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 4.5-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Autumn self drive Husky Tour 2hrs from Tromso?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tromso can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tromso and add a light layer if any part of the 4.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Autumn self drive Husky Tour 2hrs from Tromso start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tromso within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Tromso?
+
On Outty we rank every Tromso experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Chasing Lights: Aurora Big Bus Chase (All Photos Included), Tromsø: Small Group | Northern Lights Chase + All-Inclusive, Tromso Northern Lights Minibus Chase Small Group Tour with Photos. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Tromso?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Tromso?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
