“We didn't manage to see aurora but the ride with the huskies was great! We were actually more thrilled with the dogs rather than the sky. The trip was good organized and our guide Paul was great! He was very friendly and gave us many information about the wild life, natives and the land in general. Also the people that take care of the huskies were friendly and gave us the feeling that really care about the dogs and treat them as their family”

Northern Lights Husky Visit

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 160 reviews · 4 hours 15 minutes (approx.) · from $193

Travel from Tromsø to Tromsø Wilderness Centre for a relaxed evening with about 200 huskies, including puppies, a kennel tour, thermal suits, dinner, and campfire time. Guides explain the dogs and aurora while you watch the sky from a dark location. This is a husky visit, not dog sledding or a Northern Lights chase.

“Absolutely wonderful experience for any dog lover! So many dogs, it's almost impossible to visit them all! All of the staff were clearly devoted to these animals and provided great information about them. When we found out they allow people to spend the night there, we were SO bummed we didn't realize that was an option when we booked! Could not recommend more highly!”

“This activity was amazing! Our guide, Eemeli, was really nice and fun! We had such a great time! We met at the tour operator's. Then we had to wear lots of layers of clothing (thanks God we did it, it was so cold in the woods). The minivan took us to the place where the reindeers were and we had a fantastic ride on the sleds! It was so magic: sledding in a dark wood. We stopped to start a fire, take pictures and drink a hot fruit juice. Our guide talk to us about life in Lapland and sang some songs. On the was back, we saw the Northern…”

“Our friendly driver, Gasper, drove us to/from the Husky sledding site. On the way back, he saw the glow of the aurora borealis and stopped the car to let our tour group of 6 people get off the van and take some pictures. We were grateful for Gasper’s proactiveness in looking out for the northern lights as we didn’t see it while sledding. Rebecca our dog sled guide was fantastic. She was very friendly and welcoming. She was very clear in her instructions and demonstrated how to ride a husky sled. She was mindful that no one in our group had ever ‘driven’ a sled before and although, she led…”

From Santa Claus Holiday Village, you ride behind a team of huskies through the dark around Rovaniemi, then head to a forest or lakeside lookout for the Aurora. Guides such as Irene, Linda, Euan, and Federico have earned praise for their care and explanations. Expect a short sled ride, shared transport, hot blueberry juice, and a campfire snack.

“Mother Nature played her role and we didn’t see the Northern lights but that’s always a gamble, the Husky ride was superb however and the trek was long enough ( 20mins or so ) at -10° temps ( believe me the suspension tells u it’s long enough hahah ) Great people involved, conversation didn’t run dry. Afterwards we had a BBQ about 10mins away at a BBQ site next to a small river, the location was superb / freezing cold but the warmth of the fire was perfect as was the sausages / marshmallows ( read a few moaning on previous visits saying u had 1 small sausage each. That’s…”

Had an awesome time to say the least! Probably the most ethical animal experience I’ve ever had.”
