Dogsled Tours

Dogsled tours are one of our unique excursions that offer stimulation to the senses that you may have never experienced before. Enjoy the new sights and sounds of the native creatures of the Arctic.

Visit Longyearbyen and join an incredible five-day dogsled safari where you will stay at tented camps on frozen fjords and in valleys with wonderful views of majestic glaciers in the distance.

Beginning in Longyearbyen, you'll meet your guide and the dogs for a morning briefing before helping to pack the equipment and learning how to drive the sleds.

You'll set out towards Reindalen, marveling at the wonderful scenery you glide by, with nothing but the panting of the huskies and the patter of their paws upon the snow to disturb this absolute silence. In the afternoon, you'll set up camp and after preparing food for both yourself and the dogs, there will be time to relax and learn more about life in the Arctic.

Our plan for the following morning includes crossing three glaciers on the way to the east coast. Here in the realm of the polar bear, you may be lucky enough to see some of these magnificent creatures over the coming days, as your journey takes you north along the coast and over glaciers and mountain passes up to 2,300 feet high. Breathtaking views across the pack ice and mountains behind provide a stunning backdrop to your trip before you finally make your way back to Longyearbyen. A farewell dinner marks the end of this adventure.
