Fun and Easy Dog Sledding in Tromso
Apart from the price, which is normal for Norway anyway, we cannot find any fault. The guides were excellent - entertaining, informative, and attentive. The dogs were ace. All had a lovely nature and worked hard. The puppies melted our hearts. It would have been fun if we could have had a race, but that may be because the sledding was as fun and easy as advertised. We are sure racing requires much more skill and experience to do it safely. I short highly recommended if you can afford it.
Response from the operator: Thank you for such an informative review and your recommendation! It’s wonderful to hear that you felt so well cared for by our guides and that the puppies completely melted your hearts — they certainly have that effect! We’d be delighted to welcome you back for another memorable adventure.

Fantastic experience to meet the the huskies and ride their sledge.
From Tromsø: Dog Sledding Experience with Transfer by Norwegian Travel (Morning 4.5 hours tour) Staff at bus station were really helpful getting us booked onto our tour and on the correct buses. The scenery on the rout to the dog sledding centre was stunning. The location was not too far from Tromso, so we weren’t on the bus for hours. Upon arrival, greeted by welcoming staff who made sure we were fully kitted up with all of the warm gear we would need. Space to leave our bags and get kitted up in the warm building, before venturing out to meet our furry friends. The dogs were well cared for and excited to get moving. The sledding guides were informative and passionate about their jobs. We were fully briefed on how to ride/steer our sleds. The scenery we rode through was beautiful and we were blessed with good weather, clear skies. It was really good fun, we swapped roles with our partners halfway round the track, and had a photo opportunity in the middle. This is only a short trip, but enough to give you a taster. After the ride, we got to make a fuss of our dogs and say thank you for the ride. We also got to see the puppies in the kennels. We were then welcomed back into the arm building for hot chocolate and cinnamon biscuits, and were able to get out of our snow suits in the warm. Though this trip was expensive for 4.5 few hours, but competitively priced, and completely worth it, and a lovely experience.
Response from the operator: We’re thrilled you had such a lovely experience! It’s wonderful that our team, the huskies, and the scenic sledding made the day so memorable. We’re glad you enjoyed the briefing, role swapping on the sled, photo opportunity, and the cozy warm-up with hot chocolate and treats. Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback!

Service Not Provided and No Refund
I had a confirmed booking and arrived at the pickup point on time, but the bus left without me. Despite this, the company refused to offer any alternative solution or refund and instead suggested taking an expensive taxi at my own cost. The service was not provided as booked, and the customer support was unhelpful and dismissive. Very disappointing experience, especially for tourists relying on clear communication and fair treatment.
Response from the operator: Dear Guest, Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry that you missed the bus on the day of your tour. As stated in our policy, in NO SHOW cases we are unfortunately unable to offer alternative dates, refunds, or hold the bus for late arrivals. All customers are required to arrive at the designated meeting point on time to ensure the tour runs smoothly for everyone. We understand this was disappointing and encourage all guests to carefully note the meeting time and location when booking. We appreciate your understanding.

This was our favorite excursion!
This was terrifying and fun all in one! Learning to drive the sled was a bit intimidating and it was hard work, so make sure you have a bit of physical endurance. I would highly recommend using their boots, snow suits and gloves so that you stay warm when you’re riding. Definitely a highlight of our entire trip to Norway. We booked this excursion through Viator.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your detailed review! We’re thrilled you found the sledding both thrilling and fun. Great tips on wearing the provided boots, snow suits, and gloves—they really make a difference! We’re delighted this was a highlight of your Norway trip and appreciate you recommending the experience.

Fun & Easy Dog Sledding Adventure from Tromsø: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tromso.
How much does Fun & Easy Dog Sledding Adventure from Tromsø cost?
+
Prices start at $318 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 Fun & Easy Dog Sledding Adventure from Tromsø 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 Fun & Easy Dog Sledding Adventure from Tromsø worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 26 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 Fun & Easy Dog Sledding Adventure from Tromsø?
+
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 Fun & Easy Dog Sledding Adventure from Tromsø suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Fun & Easy Dog Sledding Adventure from Tromsø?
+
Around 9 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 Fun & Easy Dog Sledding Adventure from Tromsø 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.
