Practical information about our husky wagon tour
IMPORTANT: WE DO NOT OFFER TRANSPORT. YOU WILL NEED TO ARRANGE YOUR OWN TRANSPORT.
Try dog sledding in autumn without a sled... But on wheels! Autumn is the season where we start to smell winter coming back again. Autumn therefore means training season - and no better way to do so than on a wagon with wheels! On our Husky Wagon Tour you get to experience eager dogs coming back into shape while you enjoy the change of season in the mountains.
Your autumn adventure starts at our kennel on Leirstrandvegen 227, 9106 Straumsbukta at 08:30 AM.
Important: Please arrive at 08:30 AM and no earlier, as our staff need to be ready to greet you.
When you arrive to our kennel we provide you with a warm suit/rain gear and arctic boots. Please dress warm from home with wool and/or fleece. You need to bring a warm hat, gloves and a scarf/buff. It might rain with some windy kisses, so better safe than sorry.
When we have provided you with the gear needed it is time for the fun on the trail. We will drive you to the valley where we ride the dogs and set off into the mountains. Our guides will drive the wagons to ensure a safe and comfortable ride (approx. 30 minutes of wagon fun).
After the wagon ride it is time to meet and cuddle with the dogs. To warm you up again we will serve you something warm to drink and a sweet snack that you can enjoy while asking our experienced mushers questions and listening to stories. Ask us anything!
When you are full from sweets, drinks, cuddles and stories it is time to get changed and give the last goodbye kisses to the dogs.
The tour lasts approx. 2,5 hours.
Included: Experienced guide that will lead the way on the trail, approx. 30 minutes of wagon tour, warm clothing, arctic boots, hot drinks, sweet snacks and of course lots of cuddles and storytelling!
Important: This is an outdoor activity in the Arctic. Our guides will drive the wagons and make it a safe experience, but we still require a basic level of fitness to walk around. We cannot recommend pregnant women or people with back pain and heart problems to join due to the risk.
Location of the kennel: Leirstrandvegen 227, 9106 Straumsbukta, Tromsø
Have fun with Bjørn and Kvitserk on our Husky Wagon Tour
Experience the magic of a husky adventure in the beautiful autumn landscape of Kvaløya, just outside Tromsø. At Kvaløya Adventure, you will meet Tommy's friendly sled dogs and join an authentic husky wagon tour through the nature surrounding our small kennel in Straumsbukta.
With around 50 Alaskan Huskies in the kennel, our tours are all about getting close to the dogs and enjoying a personal experience in a peaceful Arctic setting. During autumn, when there is not yet enough snow for traditional dog sledding, the huskies get to do what they love on a husky wagon ride - with you!
A personal husky experience with a small group
We believe that the best husky experiences are personal and relaxed. That is why we welcome a maximum of 8 guests per group.
With small groups, there is plenty of time to meet the dogs, learn about life in our kennel and enjoy the experience. Whether you are visiting Tromsø as a couple, with friends, as a single traveller or as a family, our husky wagon tour offers an intimate way to experience the Arctic and get to know our sled dogs. They have a lot of personality!
Nothing is more beautiful than experiencing autumn on a husky wagon
Our autumn husky wagon ride on Kvaløya gives the dogs the opportunity to run and work even when the trails are still free of snow. You will be pulled by a team of energetic huskies while taking in the beautiful surroundings of Straumsbukta.
Autumn on Kvaløya can be a spectacular time to explore the outdoors, with crisp Arctic air, colourful vegetation and dramatic mountain scenery. The changing landscape creates a completely different atmosphere from a winter dog sledding tour – but the excitement of being pulled by a team of huskies remains.
Meet the huskies at our small kennel
A husky wagon tour is more than simply a ride. It is an opportunity to experience the dogs up close and discover what life is like at a working sled dog kennel.
We love sharing their personalities and stories with our guests and giving you an insight into the bond between humans and sled dogs. They really are something special.
Because we keep our groups small, there is time for questions, interaction with the dogs and a more personal introduction to the kennel.
The dogs are waiting for your cuddles
Kvaløya Adventure is located in the small village of Straumsbukta on Kvaløya, an island known for its spectacular Arctic nature and beautiful mountain landscapes. Our location makes it possible to combine a husky experience with exploring the natural surroundings.
If you are looking for an autumn husky experience near Tromsø, a husky wagon tour on Kvaløya is a wonderful way to experience sled dogs outside the traditional winter season.
Come and meet the huskies, feel the power and enthusiasm of the team and enjoy an authentic Arctic adventure with a small group of fellow travellers.
Maximum 8 guests per group – for a more personal, cosy and private husky experience.
