Iceland · HUSKY SLEDDING RIDES
This is the shortlist to send a friend: 8 husky sledding tours worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
A small-group husky sled run near Mosfellsbær with a 35-minute ride, meet-and-greet time, and warm gear when weather turns.
“Was incredible. Very informative and our girls had a great time as well. Highly recommend. Tour guide was great and everyone got to ‘steer’ and ride in back of sled.”
Private husky hike outside Akureyri. Pet the pack, get a husky-led walk, then coffee and dog stories.
“AWESOME EXPERIENCE!! Maria and her family were so warm and welcoming. The dogs are happy and content. This is an experience we will never forget. Highly recommend!”
Hike a North Iceland trail while huskies pull and guide you, then meet the pack at their Akureyri home with Gunni and María.
“This is a must do while in Iceland. The dogs were absolutely cute and friendly. We felt welcomed at all times and well taken care of. The hike with the husky was in beautiful country and we had many opportunities to interact with all the dogs. The dogs were well behaved and happy to go for a hike. Each dog has a name and the owner’s show that they really care for them. We have great pictures and memories of this that we will treasure for years.”
Private husky cuddling near Akureyri with coffee, photos, and videos. Pickup options, about an hour, English.
“From the moment Gunni greeted us at our hotel to take us to his husky wonderland, we felt a warm local connection. He has such a love for what he does and a great manner setting up what to expect. When we arrived the dogs were all waiting for us, tails wagging. I could have cried with joy. I’ve loved huskies my whole life and have never been around so many. It’s amazing what this family is doing and seeing them in their home element is incredible. Highly recommend a stop here. PS: the view is stunning, too! Would love to come back for some husky therapy.”
Husky kisses and cuddles near Akureyri. Small group, photo time, and a warm home welcome with puppies and husky stories.

Dog cart mushing with Siberian huskies near Lake Mývatn, a 3 to 4 km summer ride, plus a kennel visit.
“Awesome experience!!! The leaders were so kind and generate their time and knowledge and the dogs were adorable!”
Husky sledding near Akureyri with pickup, max 4 guests, forest and fjord views, cuddling time, and a hot drink after.
“The magic begins with getting there… a few minutes north of Akureyri, almost on the fjord… park your car and the serenade of howling huskies greets you. The next 20 minutes or so you and the dogs meet, and of course you also get introduced to the business owner and what to expect on the sled. BTW, if you thought huskies are all work working dogs, not these. They are very affectionate and playful. Then more magic. You are comfortably seated in the sled, and off you go, with the very experienced musher giving you a wonderful ride thru the woods, with views of the mountains and fjords. And when…”
Reykjavík husky kennel visit: meet Siberian Huskies, tour the kennel, then warm up by the open fire with hot drinks and cookies.
“Amazing trip, well behaved huskys and very friendly, staff really friendly.”
Every kind of Icelandic day out, and the best of each.
