Fun day dog sledding
We chose this tour because a self drive dog sled excursion was not an option on our cruise. The meeting point was very close to our ship and the drive to the kennel was very scenic. You can tell the dogs are well cared for and love to run. There were stops along the trail for photos and we had beverages and cake back at the kennel. They provide additional clothing if you think you’ll need it. If you find yourself in Tromso and want to drive a dog sled, I recommend this tour. You will have a lot of fun.

Great way to spend a day
Amazing from start to finish, staff and dogs absolutely love what they do. Dogs are friendly and well trained. Safety and equipment are excellent. Me and my wife went as our 60th birthday treat and loved every minuet of it !

The whole sledding experience was incredible
We never dog sledded before going to Tromso. We picked the tour based on review and the fact they picked people up in the city center. Plus that the bus was not huge. The drive to the tour takes a bit, and it was nice to see the landscape. When we got there, they are very organized, and you're dressed up and ready to go in no time. Meeting the dogs was so fun, and the whole sledding experience was incredible. Driving the sled is no small feat, and we quickly learnt the ropes. Guides are super friendly (and patient) and so are the dog. We so enjoyed that tour. Highly recommend!

Unable to do this activity due to missed port on Northern Lights cruise
Unfortunately i was on the Queen Victoria on a Norther Lights cruise, due to adverse weather we were unable to do this activity as the ship arrived in Tromso 6 hours late at 3:00 pm so wi missed this once in a lifetime opportunity.

Tromso Self-Drive Husky Dog Sledding: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tromso.
How much does Tromso Self-Drive Husky Dog Sledding cost?
+
Prices start at $371 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 Tromso Self-Drive Husky Dog Sledding take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Tromso Self-Drive Husky Dog Sledding worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 91 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 789 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Tromso, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Tromso Self-Drive Husky Dog Sledding?
+
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 Tromso Self-Drive Husky Dog Sledding suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Tromso Self-Drive Husky Dog Sledding?
+
Around 276 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-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tromso Self-Drive Husky Dog Sledding 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 Northern Lights Minibus Chase from Tromsø with Chasing Lights, Northern Lights Big Bus Chase with Chasing Lights, Tromsø Northern Lights Chase We Go Where The Lights Appear. 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.
