Ben our tour guide was exceptional. Answered to all our questions popping out of our excitement. The huskies were very friendly and loved to be pet. Overall it was no less than a wonderland as we sledged our way through the snow land. A beautiful memory. read less

Great personal guidance and care for guests by international owners who speak several languages.

They pick you up at the hotel in mini vans, you arrive at their premises and are fitted for cold weather gear if needed, including suits for kids and boots. You feel part of their operation as you can walk around the grounds to see the dogs, the tipi tents for coffee and cookies and perhaps even the open campfire for roasting marshmallows, while they gear up the sleighs and dogs. Or you can help them gear up, which they actually encourage to get the full experience. And the owners two, young boys (4 & 7 at the time) help with everything, great if guests have kids too. And the actual sleigh ride is absolutely stunning….!

The Dutch/Norwegian owners have travelled and lived all over the world, they understand what you want and need while on an adventurous holiday and that makes all the difference.
I would definitely choose them again next time. read less

We had booked an overnight sled tour, but unfortunately there was not enough snow in Kiruna in November (for the first time in human memory). Jordana was quick to reach out to us to make an alternative plan, excellent communication and flexibility. We rebooked to an overnight cart tour, which was great too! We stayed in the teepee at the kennel, and slept underneath reindeer skins (which will keep you super warm no matter the conditions).

What made this trip amazing for us wasn't just the tour, but also the hospitality and the interaction with the dogs. Anna was lovely to hang out with and a great guide to boot. You could also really tell that the people in the company really cared about their dogs, knowing every animal's name, character and quirks and taking very good care of them. They encouraged you to meet and bond with them as well. Meeting two week old pups at the end of our trip was the icing on the cake :) read less

Tout s'est super bien passé : récupération à l'heure, conditions tops, les chiens étaient supers adorables... Dommage pour les aurores, phénomène capricieux mais observable tout de même (vérifiez la météo avant !) read less

The huskies were adorable and tour guides were so welcome and nice ;)

Our transfer from the ice hotel was seamless, we had a fantastic and unique experience driving the husky sled for a few hours and watched the sun set! My partner loved meeting the puppies and we were both ready for fika around the open fire at the end! The dogs were very well trained and clearly well loved. Highly recommended! read less

Most importantly, the dogs are really well looked after and they are the focal point of everything the family owners do. Loved how respectful they are of the local Sami people and how well they collaborate with them to ensure that the wildlife habitat is not disturbed because of the sledding expeditions. Wishing Jordana, Kent and family all the best for the future. read less

Will be back to ride my team of charming huskies and watch the aurora!

Sledging was a great experience. The people working there are super warm and welcomy. They do know about snow and dogs, which is awesome. You can ask them anything. Tbh, I would have liked more time playing with the dogs and cuddling them before or after the ride. We practically were in a rush to feed them and put them back in their cages. We had almost no time to get familiar with them. Overall, it was a nice experience, although it could be amazing! read less

We had a car so drove to the Tour place and it was easy to find, well sign posted and not far out of Kiruna. If you don't have a car they will pick you up.

Once we parrked we were met by Bevan and Georgia who took us to get the snow coveralls and boots on. We dressed in several layers under these and I fully recommend that you still layer up as it hit -23 today and the cold can get through your clothes after a few hours.

We did the drive and ride tour, and this was great if you are in a pair so that you can take photos of each other, and enjoy the scenery which is breathtaking as well as enjoy the sled driving. We were the only ones on the tour this afternoon and Bevan was great with the information and getting us to help out hooking the dogs up before we left and then feeding them and unhooking them at the end.

The little hut for tea afterwards was a great place to thaw out and chat about the day.

I recommend that you take a gopro as phones can shutdown in the cold, as well as have some thin gloves you can keep on with touch pads if you use a phone for pictures. Put their clothes on over the top of your clothes as this is an activity that you can never have enough on. A scarf or buff for your face is also helpful.

This was an amazing day out, and the pictures and video don't do it justice. Definitely well rated and worth the price. It was good to see that they genuinely love their dogs also, and that the kennels were really clean and tidy, and they are more than just a business. read less

We did the 3 day husky trip, left around lunchtime on day 1 for a few hours ride, longer ride day 2 and back by lunchtime day 3. Experienced guide and had a sled and team of 4 dogs each. We were able to get involved with feeding and preparing the dogs which added to the experience. Spent 2 nights in a wilderness lodge with no electricity but roaring fire to keep warm and a sauna if needed. Food was good. Scenery amazing! read less

Depending on your pregnancy, it is fine! I have had a non-eventful pregnancy so far and the sled ride is a short 20-30 minute smooth and flat ride to the hut and 20-30 minutes back.

My son was fussing because he didn't like the feel of the coveralls and all the layers but on the advice of one of the owners (also a mom!) we took him anyways and he fell asleep peacefully within five minutes. On the way back he managed to even have fun, saying "Yee ha!" and getting really interested in the dogs.

The dogs were lovely and friendly, and our guide Ben was knowledgeable and relaxed. Highly recommend as an activity to do in Kiruna! read less
