Dog Sledding in Kiruna Swedish Lapland

Deze mensen hebben echt hart voor hun bedrijf en hun honden staan op nr 1. Alles ziet er super netjes uit en de honden gaan altijd voor. We hebben een geweldige Cart tour gedaan. Ze namen alle tijd voor ons en de honden voor onze eigen teams mochten we zelf uit de kennels halen en voorzien van harnassen. Nadat we de honden op de juiste positie aan de lijn hadden gezet kon de tocht beginnen. Natuurlijk niet na een uitgebreide uitleg.

Een schitterende tocht door de natuur en 2x door het water om de honden wat afkoeling te geven. Toen we terug waren was het tijd de honden eten te geven. Daarna mochten de harnassen weer af en mochten we ze terug naar de juiste kennels begeleiden. Uiteraard met de nodige aanwijzingen van Jordana en de kinderen. Daarna tijd voor Swedish “Fika” bij het houtvuur. Lekkere koffie, lekkernijen en een erg gezellig gesprek met de eigenaresse. Daarna nam ze nog alle tijd voor een rondleiding door hun mooie bedrijf. Alles werd vol enthousiasme, erg uitgebreid verteld en al onze vragen werden erg goed beantwoord. Ze namen alle tijd voor ons. Na ruim 4uur was het helaas tijd voor ons om onze reis te vervolgen.

The dogs were brilliant and gave us the trip of a lifetime. The company runs a smooth operation with pick up in Kiruna, dressing us warmly at the camp and then providing a cup of tea and cinnamon scroll at a tipee, where we stopped to enjoy the very best nature can provide. The dogs are well looked after and loved by all at the company , don’t miss out on this amazing experience when in Kiruna. read less

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

We had a time with the dogs, and our guide explain us a lot about them, and about the kennel. We even could see a render hanging out in the forest while riding with the dogs! The landscape in Lapland took my breath away.
Thank you to all the staff, and of course, all the dogs! read less

Absolutely loved our trip. We were picked up promptly and taken into the wilderness to the kennels. The dogs were all well loved and looked after and all the staff were lovely and friendly. The scenery really is spectacular, we sledded through pine forests and over frozen lakes...we really did feel like we were in Narnia! You are given warm overalls to go over your own clothes and extra warm mittens and hats, it was -20 so much appreciated! After the trip you get to unharness and feed the dogs and have a tour meeting all the other dogs and puppies. Amazing day, highly recommended! read less

Jordana was helpful even before the tour started by looking at the weather and suggesting different times / days where it was cooler so we could go on the husky cart ride. She wants it to be around 15c or less to take the dogs out. She also offered to refund our money if we wanted.
She picked us up and when we got there, we immediately saw how much she cares about the dogs. She knew all their names, tell you about their personalities and background. She has 94 dogs and they are all part of her family. As someone who loves animals, this made me very happy about my decision to go on this activity instead of the other husky activities I found on TripAdvisor.
I plan on coming back for a sled dog ride in the winter now that I know Lapland Husky Tours is amazing in every way.
Thank you for making this a highlight of my trip. read less

Our guide Lisa was extremely knowledgable and easy to get along with. She showed us how to prepare the sleighs, we helped feed the dogs after the excursions and she took us on a little tour of the husky’s home. The trip itself was spectacular, beautiful, there are really no words to describe the experience. No trip to Lapland will be complete without visiting this special husky paradise! read less

BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL - The Tour was breathtaking. The nature, the dogs, the team - an unforgettable experience.

Arrivati vi forniscono guanti, tuta e scarponi per il freddo (prendeteli assolutamente!!!). Le slitte sono già pronte. Dopo una breve introduzione su come guidare la slitta, si parte. Guidare la slitta non è difficile, i cani seguono esattamente il percorso tracciato nella neve. L'unica cosa che deve fare il driver è frenare in caso di discese o rallentamenti della fila davanti.
Il percorso è splendido in mezzo boschi salite discese e tanta neve. L'elemento più suggestivo è il silenzio della campagna lappone interrotto soltanto dallo scivolamento della slitta sulla neve. La velocità non è alta e questo vi permette di godervi a pieno lo splendido paesaggio circostante .
A metà percorso ci si ferma per far riposare i cani, coccolarli un po' ed eventualmente scambiare il driver.
Il giro è durato circa 2 ore.
Tornati al punto di partenza è possibile riportare i cani nelle rispettive gabbie e dargli da mangiare. Infine viene offerto uno spuntino caldo dai ragazzi dell'organizzazione.

Il prezzo è sicuramente alto ma credo anche che l'esperienza offerta sia indimenticabile.

Consigli :
- prendete tutto il vestiario che vi propongono, noi abbiamo fatto il percorso a -20°/-25°!
- cercate di proteggervi la faccia, loro non vi forniranno niente. A quelle temperature l'aria fredda dopo qualche km vi farà male. Vi consiglio un passamontagna più occhiali da sci. read less

Really nice people and wonderfull track in an Winter Wonderland. You can really see how much Kent and Jordana love the dogs and love what they are doing. We got picked up from Kiruna by Kent. When You are there you get warm clothes for the ride and than you go on a amazing trip. I felt really save during the hole tour because of the nice and competent guidance. Also the dogs seemed to have a lot of fun during this trip. They really love to run. Afterwards we got warm coffe and tea at the fireplace and we had a nice chat where we learn ed a lot about the dogs and the people here.
So all together an amazing experience and totally worth the money. read less

Jeder bekam zu Beginn warme Klamotten (Overall, Schuhe, Handschuhe, bei Bedarf auch Mütze). Unser Guide Adri hat uns am Anfang alles bestens erklärt, die 18 km lange Strecke war super, es war ein einmaliges Erlebnis einen Husky Schlitten selber zu fahren, nach der Häfte der Strecke wechselten Fahrer und Sitzender sich ab.
Nach der Fahrt gaben wir unserem Hunde-Team zu Essen und zogen das Schlittengeschirr aus.
Bei einem gemeinsamen Kaffee am Lagerfeuertand stand Adri für sämtliche Fragen offen und zeigte uns noch die 13 Wochen alten Welpen, die wir streicheln durften und Renn-Huskies sowie weitere Schlitten. read less

The equipment was first rate and kept us warm and dry and the set up at the kennels is very impressive. A fantastic experience all round. read less

When our rental car company gave away our car and then the bus we were counting on never showed up, we were left stranded several hours north and could not make our scheduled tour. Thankfully Husky Tours did not cancel our trip, but thoughtfully listened to our situation and rescheduled us for the following day. The woman we dealt with was kind, professional, and treated us as people, not just paying customers.

Our dog sledding adventure was great! We enjoyed driving our own sled and loved the beautiful scenery. Everyone we met — from the shuttle driver, the woman suiting us up, the guide and other helpers— was just as nice as the first woman we spoke to. The company loans out warm clothes and boots which was super great as otherwise I think we would have been cold. ( wear your warm layers underneath even if it feels like too much— you will be glad you did) After the sled ride we all sat around a fire and had a hot drink and a cinnamon roll. We really enjoyed the opportunity to talk with our guide and ask questions. He never seemed rushed or annoyed with us, even when we kept finding things to ask. He was knowledgeable, patient, genuine and truly seemed to care for the dogs. After that we returned the heavy boots and snow suits we had borrowed and then spent a few minutes with a handful of the younger dogs.

All in all, a great way to spend the afternoon! We highly recommend this activity and this company. read less
